Not this blog, I know the answer to that; I mean ever, at all. Sarcasm that lasts longer than one sentence goes unrecognized and unappreciated.

I was watching Arrested Development on DVD the other night, and I wondered why on earth the best sitcom ever aired on television got cancelled after two-and-a-half seasons. I did a Google search for ‘Arrested Development cancelled’ and came upon this article from TV Squad. The blurb on Google made it sound like it was advocating the cancellation of the show. I went into reading it pretty angry at the author.

But then I actually read it. From the first line to the last. And it was hilarious. A quote:

Reality is good too - let’s have more of those shows where attractive people eat bugs and poor people fight for prizes. In fact, just put those two shows together - make some hot bug-eating chicks fight over an unemployed factory worker, and then give the winning couple a makeover and a dream house.

But then there were the comments from “readers.” Most people got it. A few, very sad people, did not. An example:

(19.) I think you are all crazy. Arrested development makes me crack up, TV squad think it’s a problem for there to be “too many” jokes. Then whats the point of a comedy? They try to make out that “GOB” is somehow blasphemous because it is remotely close to “GOD”. Why don’t they jump on the backs of every person in the world who calls their canine “DOG”?

The way I see it, TV Squad needs a kill for they have been quiet for some time with the appearence of too many good shows. Stupidly they decided to take Arrested Develpoment on, which, as I believe is a stupid mistake.

Every time I start to have a little faith in humanity, it gets crushed again… by humanity. And by the way, the blasphemous part about “Gob” is that in the Bible it’s spelled “Job.” God dammit.
