OK, it's become kind of a cliche to talk about how brilliant the TV show "Arrested Development" was. Still ... Man! "Arrested Development" was brilliant!
I had a bunch of friends over last night, and we were watching it on DVD. It works as a skewed family sitcom, of course. But last night, I was really appreciating it as devastating political satire.
It ran for three seasons, starting in 2003. During that time, it thoroughly dissected everything that was wrong with Dubya-era America. Watching it now, I find it eerily prescient in its examination of the rampant idiocy and greed that laid the groundwork for the current recession.
