Arrested Development to air on Netflix

Wait, what?

That's right. After the hellstorm Netflix has been parading through for the past few months, with losing millions of subscriptions after amping up its price, it looks as though Arrested Development will air its highly anticipated new season exclusively on Netflix.

Are you kidding me? My roommate JUST deleted our account... who am I suppose to mooch it from now??

I mean, I guess this could have plenty of benefits. Netflix could see a rise in customers, those who are very eager to see the beginning of the new A.D. saga

Also, it'd be a pretty telling sign for how great the movie is going to do in the future.

It also does help that the entire cast has signed on for the whole film, it's one of those shows where you can not pick a favorite character, no matter how hard you try. (Gob? No... yes... no... wait...)

But the bottom line is: I am a self proclaimed lazy individual. Do I seriously have to sign up for a shitty Netflix account in order to watch one of my all time favorite shows make it triumphant debut to the spotlight? Dammit, Mitch Hurwitz.

I guess we'll see if there is a fallout over the next few weeks with loyal viewers. For the moment though, Netflix can once again bask in its former glory of being a revolutionary company. Bringing a highly anticipated show to its online business is huge and no doubt a game changer.

I just blue myself thinking about it.

Community?! But... why?!

Yes, it's one of those awful instances in television where an amazing show just suddenly... disappears. I'm still recovering over the loss of Arrested Development. Plus, discovering that after I watched two seasons of Party Down that in fact the party was over was pretty devastating.

Why does TV do this to us? Obviously, we all know the reason deep in our hearts. Money, ratings, ultimately glory, it all plays in the cards. But Community is good, I mean, really good. I thought it was growing a following? What happened?

I always think about what might play into great shows like this doing poorly in the ratings. I'm pretty sure at this point in the revolutionized world in which we watch TV, TiVo and Hulu aren't factored in to the overall total of who's watching. It sucks, but, what do they expect us to do? Leave our TVs on while we socialize on a Thursday night? Why must I pretend to have a household pet in which I rationalize my neglect for leaving it alone for my favorite show to stay on the air?

Bottom line, I am in no mood to sit around for three years to see the show again. What I mean is, I first have to wait for the show to finally go off the air, hear everyone bitch about how upset they are about it, wait around for a film company to pick up the script, wait for everyone to figure out a contract (I'm looking at you, Chevy), then finally shoot the movie. Dammit, I won't stand for it.

C'mon now. This show is brilliantly written, culturally relevant, and has amazing characters. It is different than any show out there today, and if no one is watching it... it's because everyone is stupid. YEAH THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT.

Don't be one of "those people" who "discovers" a great show right after it gets canceled. Watch it now, love it now.

So, do me a fave-sies (favor, for all you lame folk), and go to :
