If Fametracker says it, it is so

From Jason Bateman's Fame Audit on Fametracker:

Tell us again why you are not watching Arrested Development if you are not, in fact, watching Arrested Development. Because somebody's not watching it, and if we find out it's you, we're going to be very, very disappointed.

I adore Fametracker. I also would adore Arrested Development, if I ever watched it. Jason Bateman is funny. Very funny. As is the rest of the cast. And Portia De Rossi -- right up there on the list of hotties that could bring me over if she wanted to. There's no reason for me to not watch this show. I have DVR - I can tape it.

I think there's a part of me that fears this is another one of those brilliant shows that will suck me in and then get cancelled because the public at large would rather watch Fear Factor than truly brilliant shows. Freak & Geeks broke my heart. As did My So-called Life. And even though they had long runs, I'm still not over the loss of Buffy and Angel. I don't know if my poor television-addicted heart can take it.

Okay, I don't want Fametracker to be disappointed in me. I'll tape it on Sunday. If my heart gets broken, someone over there is getting a beatdown.
