I Want to Runaway, Getaway With You

Listen. This last weekend was pure magic. I’ve been looking forward to seeing you again for so long and now that you finally showed up you didn’t disappoint. We only spent seven hours together but it was an amazing seven hours.



I know this may seem like I’m moving a little too fast and this was the first time I’ve seen you in years but I really felt a deep connection and I want to take this to the next level.



I want to go back and re-watch your first three seasons, Arrested Development.



Watching your new season on Netflix these last couple days was so good. It brought back memories of our past together while opening up promises for a movie in the future. You were just as hilarious and witty as I remember you but now that your whole season was released at once I have to wait until a movie is released and the thought of so much time without you again is too much to bear.



Frankly, I’m not sure why I haven’t rewatched your first three seasons to begin with. Maybe it was because I didn’t want to get my hopes up when I heard rumors of more episodes being made. Maybe it was the fact that I tried to get Jena into you but she just didn’t see the appeal. Whatever the reason, I haven’t seen you in a long, long time and that needs to change.



Granted, between work, stand up comedy and making a Fringe Festival show I’m not going to have a lot of free time but I don’t need to watch you all in a week. IMDB has no release date for your movie so we can take this nice and slow.



I’m so glad you’re back.

Well Look Who’s Come Crawling Back

I heard you were coming back but I didn’t believe it.  How long has it been since I last saw you?  Five years?  That’s a long time for you to be away to have you just swoop in like nothing happened and it’ll be just like before.  You’ve got a lot of nerve starting again like nothing happened.  I just don’t know if I’m ready for this.  I don’t know if I’m ready for a new season of Arrested Development.

A lot has changed since you were gone and don’t say you weren’t gone.  Sit Down, Shut Up doesn’t count and you know it!  So much has changed in five years and not just me.  Five years is a long time.  How can you even claim to just pick up where you left off?  Michael Cera and Alia Shawkat must look so different… okay they both still look like they’re 16 but that’s beside the point.  It’s not that I didn’t love you.  I did and still do.  It’s just that Mitch Hurwitz even said that he had told the story that he wanted to tell and this seems like a weird moneygrab on your part.

Besides, I’ve moved on.  I have a new favorite show.  His name is Louie.  You’d like him.  He’s on basic cable.  Cable’s really improved since you’ve been around.

… Who am I kidding?  I can’t stay mad at you.  Of course I’ll watch the new episodes and movie.  Just don’t expect me to buy the DVDs.
