Rising Hegemon
Arrested Development limited run and then a movie?
It's been a few years, hopefully by now someone in the Bluth family will have seen a chicken.
Oh, and btw, to avoid a situation like this in the future start watching "Community" now. That way you won't wish you had when you finally start watching it on Hulu or Netflix several years from now after it was cancelled because you wrongly thought Big Bang Theory was funnier.
"Six seasons and a movie"

Eh, Hurwitz has been saying similar things for years. And there's a pretty good chance it won't be any good anyway ("Sit Down and Shut Up" and "Running Wilde", anybody?).
"Community" has the benefit of the fact that NBC has nothing else.
Oh, and Mr. B Natural died.

I tried watching Big Bang Theory once, and - I don't get it; like Two And a Half Men, it's just stupid, not funny at all; the fact that those pieces of crap are popular while almost no one watches Community or Parks and recreation is damning on the tastes of the average American.

Now I'm not a fan of Big Bang Theory myself but this is just a vile libel. Big Bang Theory is the kind of insipid sitcom that is typical for TV - from what I've seen it's neither much better nor much worse than something like "Everybody Loves Raymond" or "King of Queens" or "Friends" or the vast majority of sitcoms ever made. Not terribly subversive, the slapstick can be funny if you're into slapstick, and it just kind of muddles along getting its expected laughs and collecting a paycheck for everyone involved.
"Two and a Half Men", on the other hand, was apparently created by demons deep in the bowels of Hell to destroy humor. It is almost pure anti-humor in its character - watching it will eat away at your ability to craft good humor and replace it with a corrupted version of humor advocated by Satan. It is pure evil - like the lump of burned potroast that appears at the end of Time Bandits - and fortunately for us it drove Charlie Sheen mad before it became self aware and awoke like Dread Cthulhu to devour us all.
fuck networks.
Just seeing the Chicken sessions again made me laugh.
Then it made me wistful and long to run home and hug my boxed DVDs of Arrested to my bosom, letting them know I love them.
Then it made me cry because it's no longer on teevee.
Then it made me thirsty and it's almost beer-thirty!
