So much for Mondays. The final four episodes of Arrested Development are airing in one two-hour block on Friday, February 10–the same time as the Olympics’ opening ceremonies. I think it would be less a gesture of disgust not to show them at all.

My mom says she doesn’t really like AD because while she’s fine with sex in a dramatic context, she dislikes the constant innuendo (also why she doesn’t watch Scrubs). That made me think about the things AD relies on for jokes.

Popular humor topics:

  • Coincidence
  • Annoying family members
  • Sexual innuendo

Nonpopular humor topics:

  • Repressed homosexuality
  • Sex with people older than fifty
  • Sex with ugly people
  • Blind people
  • Retarded people
  • Amputees
  • Incest
  • More incest
  • Iraq
  • Political activists
  • Gangrene
  • The Blue Man Group
  • Vast amounts of continuity

And I was like, oh. Is that why?
