Isolation Thought

It was heartening to see that "Arrested Development" won the Emmy for Best Comedy Series last night. The decline of network TV into reality shows and news magazines is quite dismaying, but this Fox show is one of a handful of network offerings that I never miss. The show is extremely funny and I really don't understand why more people do not watch it. It put Jason Bateman back on the map and has one of the best casts out there. It's not done in ordinary sitcom fashion, hell, it even has Ron Howard as a narrator, but those who complain "there is nothing on" need to give this show a shot. Fox has been patient with the series and I'm hoping they leave it alone. Trust me, you'll laugh and that's what comedies are there for, right?

CBS finally admits the Bush National Guard documents were forgeries. They should have punted on that a week ago.
