Combined rant and rave: Arrested Development season 3

[JL21]

Rave: Arrested Development was a hilarious show. I know that all of you know this, but I'd never seen season 3. In a fit of a hangover on Saturday, I decided to bust it out. And it was awesome until...

Rant: mid-season, when obviously Fox had told them that the show was going to be cancelled. The series went to crap after that- basically, the last 5 episodes or so. They were so busy trying to rush it to some kind of "conclusion" that the quality suffered. And I don't blame the creators of the show for that, either. The blame for that lies squarely on Fox.

(sub-Rave: Charlize Theron's turn as "MR F" was great, and she's so hot.)

The good thing about having never seen Arrested Development is that I have it all in front of me. Is that a rant or a rave?

I think you're crazy RC... the fact that you waited so long to see Season 3 is proof of this.

How can you not like Buster faking a coma, and then the guys going to Iraq, or Justine Bateman playing a prostitute who's attracted to Michael (and her pimp is Franklin)? I agree that the continuity was a little off the last half of season 3, but they were still some really great episodes.

I make women do illusions for money.

Ok, maybe "crap" is going too far. But I think there was a pretty big gap in quality from the beginning of the season to the end of the season.
