George Michael, will you marry me?August 31st, 2006 @ 7:01 am
It’s official, The King and I are lazy. Not we hate to go to work-lazy, or we hate to do the dishes-lazy. Mostly it’s the can’t get up off the couch to put a DVD in the player-lazy.
Our copy of Arrested Development Season III arrived in the mail yesterday. We had been waiting for this for a long time. It was pre-ordered weeks ago. I’ve been dreaming of it since the Season Finale aired. Friends and coworkers have been e-mailing me on a daily basis wondering has it arrived yet?
The King got home last night from working over at the new house, we hurried and bathed Babboo, put him in bed, ate dinner, sat down on the couch, turned on the TV…..and nothing. We had both sat down before actually putting a DVD in the player. And since neither one of us wanted to actually get back up off the couch we watched 101 Crap on TV That We Can’t Stop Watching.
Now is it just me or does it seem like the only thing on VH1 and E! these days are some show with commentary by Hal Sparks?
And who are these people who are commenting? I totally enjoy Hal Sparks and Mo Rocca and am happy anytime I see them. But who are the rest of the commentators? Are they famous or do they just go from studio to studio making outrageous remarks about the 80’s and the Wackiest Red Carpet Disasters? Do they write their own jokes? Are they given the material before hand? Do they have to get their jokes approved? And do you love it as much as I do when they are totally making fun of something like big earrings, but yet they are currently wearing big earrings. This happened yesterday and it made me so happy. Especially the one where Cybil Shepard was dissing shoulder pads and then realized she was wearing shoulder pads! (Shoulder pads, really?)
Dude, how many times can I hear about how embarrassing the 70’s were? People dressed funny. The toys were wack. The music was silly. I get it. I get sort of sick of the whole “it’s funny ’cause it’s true” jokes. Blah.
And now I will stop talking about that. Ahhhh.
Tonight we will watch George Michael and I will be happy. George Michael, I love you. And I’ve missed you.
And we will not watch anything with gossip or commentary.
(What we should be doing is packing for LA. But why? Let’s just leave that until the last minute. Because we’re cool like that.)
I have a slight TV addiction

Um, yeah. My husband and I watch those E! shows on Saturday mornings if we’ve already seen whatever episodes are on the Food Network. The saddest thing? We’ll sit through the whole 101 whatevers, so we’re watching for like 3 or 4 hours.
I miss Arrested Development so much!!!

I went through a phase where the only thing I watched was those stupid 101, or I love the (insert nosalgic decade here) shows. Thank God I got over that and moved on to something useful, like Seinfeld reruns.

If you want more Hal Sparks, he’s one of the B-listers performing on Celebrity Duets on FOX. He’s not bad, I prefer his witty commentary to his mediocre vocals.

Probably the best show of the 2003 season, and the best new comedy in years.

why did Veronica Mars Season 2 and Arrested Development Season 3 have to come out the same week?!?!?!? I cannot commit to BOTH at the SAME TIME! I was forced to choose, and I chose Veronica. But, I do love me some George Michael. (I suggest taking the discs to LA for hotel laziness!)
