Arrested Development for shut-ins

The rain is back.

Summer is definitely over. From my window, I can see the wet rooftops under the gray sky that shrouds Vancouver. This is what we have to look forward to for the next six months or so.

When the weather gets gloomy like this, non-amphibian Vancouverites like myself tend to stay indoors more and go back to that old standby of home entertainment: television.

This weekend, I caught the first couple of episodes of the third season of Arrested Development on DVD. I'm a little sad that I only have a few more episodes to go before it all ends.

On a whim, I rented the first season of AD last year and became instantly hooked. The characters are at once cringingly awkward yet endearingly unaware; the result is comedy gold.

For those who haven't seen the show, I've posted a clip from the third season above. Don't let the title of the clip scare you off - it's not what you think. Enjoy.
