Recently the ear doctor and I have fell in love with a little show called Arrested development. I love this show. I think it is pure gold. I wish more shows were quirky like this with equally endearing characters. Can't be beat.
I even got excited to see the movie "Stranger than Fiction" had Buster in it as a side character. (BTW, I LOVED that movie. Go see it and tell me what you think).
Anyway, last night as we were through about half of season 2 on DVD I turned to the ear doctor and said,
"Do you think if we dressed up as Lindsay and Tobias for Halloween next year anyone would get it?"
He paused for a minute and sadly shook his head no.
I agreed and realized that if people didn't get Holly Golightly and Paul Varjack, they certainly wouldn't get my obscure reference to a TV show that isn't even on the air anymore.
And that made me sad.
I think you could do Tobias pretty convincingly...the never-nude shorts, blue body paint, etc. But Lindsay would be hard. I would go as the Bluth banana instead.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that more people are feeling my daily agony. Hopefully, if enough of us unite we may be able to get them to stage a comeback. I think we should start an official petition.
ReplyDeleteI would have gotten it.
ReplyDeleteKatie, as your friend, I need to warn you to stay away from Arrested Development. AD can become a serious addiction, leading to time away from work and family.
ReplyDeleteI know because it happened to me.
Thankfully, I made it through season 2 without ruining my marriage (well, mainly because Sarah got addicted too!).
But now season 3 is out there, lurking in the shadows, waiting for me to take a peek. Just the sound of that theme song makes my hair stand on end.
Be strong.
