Hahaha this is AWESOME — to fill the time until the show returns mid-season, the cast of Cougar Town will be appearing in background roles on something between thirteen and twenty different shows, across all the networks. Love it.

Wow, and speaking of adolescent fantasies, here’s one of my favorite Nine Inch Nails songs (“We’re In This Together”) soundtracking the Avengers trailer. We’re two for two today, high-school Chris! IT GETS BETTER!

I think the thing I love most about this tribute album is that it’s almost the exact U2 tribute album I would’ve put together in, like, high school. It is hitting a certain adolescent-taste sweet spot very hard for me. Looking forward to listening to it!
“Arrested Development wasn’t a poor, unloved bastard like Steve Holt — it won multiple Emmys, launched Jason Bateman’s movie career, and tricked Hollywood into giving Michael Cera one. Arrested Development got multiple chances and three full seasons on Fox, a network that’s usually about as charitable as Lucille Bluth after her fourth gimlet. There is nothing particularly unfair about the way the show ended — nor about the way affection for it has only grown via word of mouth, DVD, and ridiculous .gifs since it went off the air. This need to have more of everything — that we somehow deserve it and that what we had (20 hours in total!) was somehow insufficient to our ravenous need for puns — seems both a peculiar affectation of the Internet age and exactly the sort of entitled greed that got George Bluth in trouble in the first place.”

Do We Really Want Another Season of Arrested Development?
I’m a few days late to this, but i have to say i’m more than a little worried about this whole new season of AD thing. What we got was pretty much perfect. Why can’t people be happy with that?

MY OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT OF ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, APPROVED FOR PUBLICATION:
I agree that the show had pretty much exactly the run it needed to have and generated the results for its cast that it absolutely deserved to. And I am not at all confident that the new stuff will be anywhere NEAR on the level of what they accomplished before. BUT they’re all talented people swinging for the fences, and I am never going to argue against that, and I will happily watch them go for it. Even if they blow it, and blow it spectacularly (which is an extremely plausible outcome), the original series will still be funny as hell.
