If you watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics... 

…you missed the 4-episode back-to-back series finale of the best damned show on television.  Arrested Development.  Ron Howard’s greatest achievement, and that’s pitting it against at least one Oscar-winning best movie.  You’re already getting rid of the damn show – at least give it a proper goodbye.  They pitted it against the opening of the Olympics.  Probably 5 Emmys in its pilot season!  What modern brilliant comedy comes close to that?

This show comprises of the dysfunctional family that has so endeared America through shows like the Simpsons and Malcolm in the Middle (other Fox hits that are still given their chance to run).  The range of characters and brilliant writing (3 of the 5 nominees for Comedy writing were Arrested Development episodes) lead for hilarious, tongue-in-cheek, ground-breaking television.

For more information of how great this show is, check Wikipedia
