I must admit I hardly ever laugh at television or movies. I find alot extremely predictable and cliched. However after watching an episode of the Emmy award winning comedy series Arrested Development tonight, I actually did laugh many times out loud. It was at the episode named "Motherboy XXX". Where the character George Michael, son of the main character who is played by Jason Bateman is dragged along by his grandmother to a Mother and Son dance. It was a very funny episode and after not watching Arrested Development for a while it really made me want to watch more. I have seen almost every episode (all of them I think) of the first season. I have only just started watching parts of the second season and obviously enjoying it. It makes me wonder why the program didn't catch on and was cancelled despite numerous Emmy wins? Do people really want predictable, laugh track sitcoms? If they do I pity the mainstream audience alot, they surely are missing out on a very funny program.

What's the last thing you usually do or think about before you fall asleep?
I watch Leno/Conan like I said in my last post. I usually get to sleep just after Late Night.
A site I frequent often is MediaSpy. A forum about the Australian Media. I love talking about Media, I even have had two short lived media podcasts. So they recently (about 2 hours before I wrote this post) released a new website look. I have to say it is very nice, modern and just plain stylish. So congratulations to them. They have done well.

As reported in May this year on this blog, this is not a big suprise. I personally think having one channel dedicated to one sport is a bit of a waste. As said in the press release if they do get the rights next year as expected AFL will air on the newly created FOX Sports 3.
The one sad thing about this is the loss of jobs at the channel. Unless they get carried over to the new FOX Sports 3 or the new FOX Sports News Channel, they will lose their jobs at the end of September.
