A Woman Walks into a Bar\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She approaches a man she does not know and tells him to leave. She approaches another man. \u003cem>Leave\u003c/em>, she says, and points to the door. And then another and another and another and tells them all to leave. Finally, she sees a man in a pink Banana Republic button down and, before she before the word \u003cem>Stay\u003c/em> exits her mouth, a tall blondish man approaches her. \u003cem>Leave\u003c/em>, he says, and points to the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Tinder emulated real life and our interactions with others -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.gotinder.com/about/\">as it markets itself to do\u003c/a> -- this is perhaps the real life it’s looking to emulate. And this, of course, does not exist. And if it did, well, that bar would totally suck. The new-ish dating app recalls \u003ca href=\"http://hotornot.com/\">Hot or Not\u003c/a>, which heavily influenced this thing called Facebook. With Tinder, users are shown a photo of another user in their area and they must either swipe left (Adios!) or swipe right (Hey there, stud cake!). If both users have swiped right on each other, it is considered a “match” and then and only then are they able to spark up a conversation. And if you care, below each user's photo are your shared Facebook friends and interests, if any. This will probably not influence your decision on whether you swipe left or right. If the person is hot and they like \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>, swipe right. If the person is a dog and likes \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>, you’re swiping left for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once a match is made, the team at Tinder decided to give some words of both encouragement and light-hearted taunt for you to start the chat up. \u003cem>Staring at this screen won’t start a convo... \u003c/em>, Tinder remarks. \u003cem>Conversations don’t write themselves\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Are your hands tied?\u003c/em> Once a hello is made on either end, only chat is allowed. No naughty photos or video, just good old-fashioned words and phrases. This should lead to a text or a phone call, a date, a friend, a kiss, a baby. And so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/Q-gu1KETjVY\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>II.

I was definitely three sheets to the wind when the download was made and the tiny flame appeared on my phone’s home screen, which in return made it even more fun. After just a minute or two of setup I began my left swipes. And they continued pretty consistently until I realized I had no chance of a match if my standards were so unimaginably high. And thus began some right swipes here and there and finally, to my surprise, a match. What a nice feeling! While of course, \u003cem>match\u003c/em> has many definitions in different parts of speech, I couldn’t help but feel as though Tinder had discovered something, when in fact this Erick character simply liked the way I looked. This trendy word has taken on meanings on two sides of the spectrum. In its rawest form as on Tinder, two similar actions were rewarded with a nice feeling as though turning over two orange cards in a game of Memory, while in its more complex form as on Match.com, the word has come to mean a life partner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a few more right swipes and ten times more left swipes, I headed to bed. In the morning I woke to even more matches and some chat greetings as well. The gratification is so instant and fun that I went on to swipe through all the men looking to be matched with men within 100 miles of myself, seriously! There’s gotta be some hotties in Stanford and Mountain View, I thought, and nope, I went through them all.

The addictive quality is still there, but I am unsure if I am addicted to the swiping or to the matching aspect. It’s probably both. A friend of mine who I would consider a fan of Tinder has taken it to the next step and met some dudes in person, which is great, and the eventual objective of the app. “Surprisingly,” she tells me, “Tinder has enabled a more mature way of dating.

Tinder seeks to lessen the nerves by providing users with shared interests and friends. If you meet another person for coffee, you could always talk about the fact you both like The Cure, \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>, or your friend Tina. “Shared friends is way more interesting and definitely influences my decision,” my friend says. “If I’m on the fence, but you know a ton of cool people I know, then right swipe. You’re probably pretty cool, too.” However, shared interests don’t carry quite as much weight unless there’s one specific “like” you made on Facebook such as a band that’s only well-known in Canada and you were in Vancouver once and you saw them play live and it was amazing. Otherwise, the shared interests serve more as an afterthought or a conversation starter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tinder could be the next generation of dating apps providing users with an easy, low-commitment way to meet new people in their area or it could be just another platform for us to satisfy our pleasure-seeking selves and boost our egos.

The commercials on Spotify are really, really annoying, and sometimes even objectionable. My theory is the ads are chosen specifically to get you to pay for the service in order to avoid them, rather than to allow you to sit through them if you choose. I find Flo the Progressive Insurance lady as charming as the next person, but she raps in one commercial. In another she does a robot voice. It’s pretty painful.

The commercials on Spotify are really, really annoying, and sometimes even objectionable. My theory is the ads are chosen specifically to get you to pay for the service in order to avoid them, rather than to allow you to sit through them if you choose. I find Flo the Progressive Insurance lady as charming as the next person, but she raps in one commercial. In another she does a robot voice. It’s pretty painful.

Or incarcerated? These are the only excuses I can imagine for not having heard about the new Netflix show \u003ca href=\"http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Orange_Is_the_New_Black/70242311?locale=en-US\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Orange is the New Black\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, based on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2010/04/whats_a_nice_blonde_like_me_doing_in_prison.html\" target=\"_blank\">by-all-accounts-terrible memoir\u003c/a> of the same name (okay, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Orange-Is-New-Black-Womens/dp/product-description/0385523394/ref=dp_proddesc_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books\" target=\"_blank\">some people like it\u003c/a> but I'm still not reading it). This show though is the OPPOSITE of terrible. In fact, out of the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_original_programs_distributed_by_Netflix\" target=\"_blank\">five original shows\u003c/a> that Netflix has put up so far (and I am including \u003cem>House of Cards\u003c/em> but not \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em> in this sweeping statement), \u003cem>Orange is the New Black\u003c/em> may be the best. My advice to you: leave work now. Go home. Get out your computer, put on your jammies and start watching. Here’s why:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Not a single one of the characters is a cliché or a simple amalgamation of stereotypes.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is true for everyone from the most vile prison guard to the sweetest inmate. Just when you think, \"Oh yeah, this dude with the mustache, I get it, he's evil,\" he does something that spins you around. The same with the yoga lady, the fundamentalist Christian, the transgender hair stylist, the mother and daughter who hate each other, the inmate known as \"Crazy Eyes.\" And these aren't even the main characters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. The transgender hair stylist is actually played by a transgender person.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/07/17/transgender-characters-get-a-transformative-moment-on-netflix-s-orange-is-the-new-black.html\" target=\"_blank\">According to \u003cem>The Daily Beast\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, this is the first time this has happened ever in the history of television (so I guess Netflix is officially television now?). Laverne Cox plays the character of Sophia Burset, who used to be a male firefighter, with understanding but no sentimentality. As with all the characters, there isn't a clear-cut good guy and bad guy in her story. Somehow you feel sympathy for Sophia and her struggle while simultaneously feeling sorrow for her former wife and son. It's pretty epic and once again not even the main story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. I've never been to prison but I have a feeling this is a pretty accurate portrayal of the place that walks the line between funny and tragic without ever becoming exploitative or ultra-violent.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prison sucks. Ever since I watched \u003cem>Oz \u003c/em>for the first time, long ago, I knew I did not \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/CWVZfqgPg-4\" target=\"_blank\">want to go to there\u003c/a>. But I also realize, and I think this show does a really good job at pointing this out, that in America the justice system isn't always completely \"fair\" and sometimes people who don't \"deserve\" it (these quotes are just because who can say what is fair and who can say if anyone ever deserves a cage?) end up in a place that is scary, run by arbitrary rules and full of terrible food. So basically middle school. This is why I learned yoga, just in case I make the wrong move some day. I sure wish I had learned it before sixth grade. Anyway, I respect the creators/directors/actors of this show for making this seem real while also allowing us to see the humanity of a place like women's prison and the camaraderie, cliques and emotional manipulation that springs up between women in close corridors. Like I said: middle school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Another thing that isn't exploited? Lesbian relationships.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't know if I have ever seen a show (and I am including \u003cem>The L Word\u003c/em>) that shows lesbian relationships, as well as heterosexual relationships, in such an honest and open way. Okay, yes, I am not a lesbian. But I am a woman, so I guess what I am saying is I haven't seen a show that so honestly and openly talks about female sexuality. Also: I know a LOT of lesbians and if Facebook is any indication, this is their favorite show of the year. And \u003ca href=\"http://www.advocate.com/print-issue/current-issue/2013/07/10/why-you-should-watch-orange-new-black?page=full\" target=\"_blank\">the \u003cem>Advocate \u003c/em>says it's good\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. All that said: it's just a really entertaining show.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gender politics and character development aside, this is just a really fun show to watch. It looks good, makes you laugh and lets you feel feelings. By the time it ends, you will be standing on your couch chanting: \"More! More! More!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And guess what you lucky duck! \u003ca href=\"http://www.accesshollywood.com/orange-is-the-new-black-major-character-promoted-to-series-regular-for-season-2_article_82058\" target=\"_blank\">It looks like we are all getting a Season Two\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: This story originally stated that Netflix has produced three original series. The correct number is five.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Or incarcerated? These are the only excuses I can imagine for not having heard about the new Netflix show \u003ca href=\"http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Orange_Is_the_New_Black/70242311?locale=en-US\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Orange is the New Black\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, based on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2010/04/whats_a_nice_blonde_like_me_doing_in_prison.html\" target=\"_blank\">by-all-accounts-terrible memoir\u003c/a> of the same name (okay, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Orange-Is-New-Black-Womens/dp/product-description/0385523394/ref=dp_proddesc_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books\" target=\"_blank\">some people like it\u003c/a> but I'm still not reading it). This show though is the OPPOSITE of terrible. In fact, out of the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_original_programs_distributed_by_Netflix\" target=\"_blank\">five original shows\u003c/a> that Netflix has put up so far (and I am including \u003cem>House of Cards\u003c/em> but not \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em> in this sweeping statement), \u003cem>Orange is the New Black\u003c/em> may be the best. My advice to you: leave work now. Go home. Get out your computer, put on your jammies and start watching. Here’s why:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Not a single one of the characters is a cliché or a simple amalgamation of stereotypes.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is true for everyone from the most vile prison guard to the sweetest inmate. Just when you think, \"Oh yeah, this dude with the mustache, I get it, he's evil,\" he does something that spins you around. The same with the yoga lady, the fundamentalist Christian, the transgender hair stylist, the mother and daughter who hate each other, the inmate known as \"Crazy Eyes.\" And these aren't even the main characters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. The transgender hair stylist is actually played by a transgender person.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/07/17/transgender-characters-get-a-transformative-moment-on-netflix-s-orange-is-the-new-black.html\" target=\"_blank\">According to \u003cem>The Daily Beast\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, this is the first time this has happened ever in the history of television (so I guess Netflix is officially television now?). Laverne Cox plays the character of Sophia Burset, who used to be a male firefighter, with understanding but no sentimentality. As with all the characters, there isn't a clear-cut good guy and bad guy in her story. Somehow you feel sympathy for Sophia and her struggle while simultaneously feeling sorrow for her former wife and son. It's pretty epic and once again not even the main story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I've never been to prison but I have a feeling this is a pretty accurate portrayal of the place that walks the line between funny and tragic without ever becoming exploitative or ultra-violent.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prison sucks. Ever since I watched \u003cem>Oz \u003c/em>for the first time, long ago, I knew I did not \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/CWVZfqgPg-4\" target=\"_blank\">want to go to there\u003c/a>. But I also realize, and I think this show does a really good job at pointing this out, that in America the justice system isn't always completely \"fair\" and sometimes people who don't \"deserve\" it (these quotes are just because who can say what is fair and who can say if anyone ever deserves a cage?) end up in a place that is scary, run by arbitrary rules and full of terrible food. So basically middle school. This is why I learned yoga, just in case I make the wrong move some day. I sure wish I had learned it before sixth grade. Anyway, I respect the creators/directors/actors of this show for making this seem real while also allowing us to see the humanity of a place like women's prison and the camaraderie, cliques and emotional manipulation that springs up between women in close corridors. Like I said: middle school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Another thing that isn't exploited? Lesbian relationships.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't know if I have ever seen a show (and I am including \u003cem>The L Word\u003c/em>) that shows lesbian relationships, as well as heterosexual relationships, in such an honest and open way. Okay, yes, I am not a lesbian. But I am a woman, so I guess what I am saying is I haven't seen a show that so honestly and openly talks about female sexuality. Also: I know a LOT of lesbians and if Facebook is any indication, this is their favorite show of the year. And \u003ca href=\"http://www.advocate.com/print-issue/current-issue/2013/07/10/why-you-should-watch-orange-new-black?page=full\" target=\"_blank\">the \u003cem>Advocate \u003c/em>says it's good\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. All that said: it's just a really entertaining show.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gender politics and character development aside, this is just a really fun show to watch. It looks good, makes you laugh and lets you feel feelings. By the time it ends, you will be standing on your couch chanting: \"More! More! More!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And guess what you lucky duck! \u003ca href=\"http://www.accesshollywood.com/orange-is-the-new-black-major-character-promoted-to-series-regular-for-season-2_article_82058\" target=\"_blank\">It looks like we are all getting a Season Two\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's note: This story originally stated that Netflix has produced three original series. The correct number is five.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It's that middle reaction where I most often find myself. I tend to become more aware and critical of how I spend my time when I return home from vacations. In those carefree weeks I'm swimming in rivers, hang gliding, cooking, gardening, walking and sitting on the porch drinking wine. I'm not distracted or stressed out. I often read for extended periods of time and have long conversations where no one checks their phone. There's no cellphone service and only dial-up Internet because I'm out in the woods (you're only looking up the most vital information in that context, I assure you).

I recently found an app called Bean. You create different pleasingly colored boxes which you label however you want and with each tap on the box the number counts up. In this way you track what is (or isn’t) important to you. It's very reminiscent of Ze Frank's jellybeans above (though it doesn't make me tear up like his video). My counter includes boxes labeled Writing, Analogue & Creation, Yoga, Days with No Social Media, Gratitude, Walk and Love (as represented by emoji hearts). Some of these are conceptual and others, obviously, aren’t. Occasionally I will look at the lagging Analogue & Creation count and hurriedly tape pictures of volcanoes in my journal, sketch spirals around them and write something secret in my own handwriting. I can't argue with my data; these things, however big or small have comprised this amount of my time. I've gone to yoga 52 times. I've taken 36 walks. I've spent 38 of my days blissfully social media free. What does it all mean? And what else should I be doing?

Was I like that? Do I get more out of what I defend as an art form? At some point in my life, didn't I learn to reflect on the comics I read, note the line and style, place the stories in a larger context? I'm pretty sure I can, now. If I think on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if I think on it, it's probably because I've been listening to others do just that. Cycling and commuting hours these days are usually filled with podcasts, many of them about comics.

Graeme and Jeff both met when hanging out at \u003ca href=\"http://comixexperience.com/\">Comix Experience\u003c/a> and writing for the shop's newsletter. After Graeme moved north to Portland, they continued podcasting weekly chatfests held over Skype (which, due to technical issues, almost because a character itself in their narrative) or FaceTime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There certainly are some podcasts that recap plots only, the way \u003ca href=\"http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com\">Television Without Pity\u003c/a> recaps TV shows: check out \u003ca href=\"http://tomkaters.com/toms-week-with-jimmy-olsen\">Tom Vs. Comics \u003c/a>. Dylan Cassard, of the \u003ca href=\"http://comicbookofthemonth.blogspot.com\">Comic Book of the Month\u003c/a> podcast, says that his crew \"spend a decent amount of time discussing story because that's easily conveyed.\" But they only spend about 10 minutes or so each episode on art, despite both Cassard and co-hosts being artists: \"Sometimes the art goes beyond our vocabulary. We try and discuss line-weights, and scratchy versus rough, use of spotted blacks, and interesting color palettes, but at the end of the day, we have to hope they Google it and like what they see.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's that difficulty, and the feeling that art is indeed more subjective, says McMillan, that makes him feel that talking about what the listeners can't see might be \"off-putting.\" \"It's the same reason you don't see many podcasts about fine art,\" he says. Still, the podcasters come and go, talking about, well, art. Sometimes the talk is like talking about bands, or making a Hollywood pitch -- \"It's like \u003cem>Ghost\u003c/em> meets \u003cem>Titanic\u003c/em>\" or \"they sound like My Chemical Romance crossed with X\" or \"I can say that I never liked Richard Corben's art because it seemed like a brutish Vermeer but with putty for flesh.\" Or the talk can be through references to canonical artists: \"For example, I can say 'Sal Buscema' as opposed to 'John Buscema',\" says Lester, \"and people who've read it know what it means. It gives the conversation a speed and facility, but can also constrain the conversation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's a way to cut the Gordian knot. Audio may not be able to show line, color, or form, but it is good at conveying emotion, and the emotion art can evoke. David Brothers, who long had his own \u003ca href=\"http://4thletter.net\">SF-based podcast\u003c/a> with Esther Inglis-Arkell, and has been a guest on other comics podcasts, says that \"an important part of building a vocabulary to talk about comics is being able to accurately describe the feeling of the art of the page. If you're talking about it, you should talk about how it feels to you in addition to what it is, rather than one or the other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/06/27/podcasting-about-comics-is-like-dancing-about-architecture/thorandsnake/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6343\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-6343\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/Thorandsnake.png\" alt=\"Thorandsnake\" width=\"259\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/Thorandsnake.png 432w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2013/06/Thorandsnake-400x633.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McMillan (who, it should be noted, has an advanced degree in, and has taught, art) also stressed how the emotional impact of art can be a good focus, one that can be conveyed non-visually. \"Comics has a narrative element, but the art is sometimes the point in the actual creating and reading experience.\" He gives an example: \"Thor is punching someone\" is plot, but \"Walter Simonson's Thor is punching someone\" is an art experience. The value, he said, is being able to express how this experience makes one feel. Lester backed him up: \"In a podcast, you can convey and hear the immediate passion about something in the voices.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, I want to stress, an amazing amount of fun also comes across. These podcasts are often described by their hosts as an excuse to hang out and chat with friends; in the good podcasts, it's obvious, and infectious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McMillan added, \"If you only talk about the details [of the art], you can skip over the impact it has on you. Try describing Rothko.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's funny he picked that example. One of my most visceral fine art experiences was at SFMOMA, and involved Rothko. Perhaps it was something about the grey, foggy day outside (so, yes, it was summer in SF), perhaps it was that I'd just been examining \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfmoma.org/explore/collection/artwork/187\">Michael Jackson and Bubbles\u003c/a>\u003c/em> by Jeff Koons' factory for too long. But I turned, and Rothko's \u003cem>No. 14\u003c/em> was there, framed by an open doorway. The dark blue, almost black, grounded me, where the red brought real warmth and life as though the sun was rising, not setting. It's framed perfectly by a passage into a new space; its height (almost 10 feet) is a critical part, keeping it large from a distance and giving the feeling that one is walking into it when approaching. I was taken from critical and cynical thinking (perhaps the reaction Koons wanted) to feeling the color radiate and calm me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I'm not good at writing about art, or dancing about architecture.

We over here at KQED Pop were freaking out about \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em> (when \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/arresteddev/status/338104748446195712\" target=\"_blank\">they tweeted us\u003c/a> our heads almost exploded). It seemed magical that this thing we had all loved so long ago, in the early 2000s, in our youth-- this thing that we had mourned for dead-- could come back to life. It was like your lost dog returning after you had moved to a different state or finding your keys in the sand at the beach. These things don’t happen and when they do, you kinda believe in miracles. However, by Sunday afternoon, you could hear the sighs throughout the land. “It’s just not that funny,” people were saying to each other on the phone. “I haven’t laughed once,” read the text messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday at lunch a bunch of my coworkers brought it up. Out of the five of us who were watching the show, all of whom purported to be True \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em> Fans, only two of us had gotten past Episode Three. I realized right then and there that I had to do something. What follows is a message to all \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em> Fans who haven’t gotten past Episode Three of Season Four of \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stop whining.\u003c/strong> Do you remember when the show first came out? You probably don’t. Everyone was confused because the title made it sound like it was about \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/GfxvsHpTZWk\" target=\"_blank\">that band that sang \"Mr. Wendal\"\u003c/a> and the camera work was weird, not to mention that when you just tuned in and hadn’t seen every other episode, you had no clue what was happening. You probably don’t remember because when the show first came out, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrested_Development_(TV_series)\" target=\"_blank\">nobody watched it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took three seasons for this show you’ve been calling your “favorite show of all time” since college to gain any momentum with viewers and then it wasn’t enough and the show got canceled. For seven years you’ve been using that cancellation as an example of what’s wrong with television and by extension, what’s wrong with the world. And now, in a truly unprecedented gift from the gods of entertainment and Netflix, the whole cast, the writers and the creator have been reunited FOR YOU, and they have created \u003ca href=\"http://movies.netflix.com/movie/Arrested-Development/70140358?mqso=81003611\" target=\"_blank\">a fourth season\u003c/a> that stays true to the tone, the spirit and the world of the show while acknowledging the passage of time and what that would mean for the characters lives. This is an amazing gift. And you’re going to stop watching because you didn’t LAUGH ENOUGH IN THE FIRST THREE EPISODES?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is like if your mom got lost at sea and then seven years later returned to you unharmed but tired and you were like, “Um, she didn’t make me a grilled cheese sandwich right away so, whatever, I’m over it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Have iPhones and a non-George W. Bush president made us this lazy? Are we a group of such ungrateful jerks that we can’t give it a second while our television idols ramp up to the laughs and set up a bunch of great jokes while giving us the back story we most definitely want? IS THIS WHO WE’VE BECOME?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends, I want to implore you to keep watching \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em> Season Four. I just finished and I can tell you without a doubt that a) it is awesome and worthy of those years we pined for it and b) it isn’t over. If you all can stop turning on everything two seconds after you say you love it (see Anne Hathaway) and develop a little patience, I think we will live to see a future with\u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/underwire/2013/05/netflix-arrested-development-season-5/\" target=\"_blank\"> another season of your favorite show of all time\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/05/30/arrested-devlopment-season-5-or-a-movie\" target=\"_blank\">Maybe even a movie.\u003c/a> But this means you can’t give up now. You have to turn off the haterade and start watching. Tell your friends to watch. Show Netflix you love it and you don't want to lose it again. Because you don't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will never go back again to those salad days of 2003/4/5/6 so of course this iteration of the show is different. The whole world is different now than it was then. In some ways darker, in some way lighter and in all ways older. But the new \u003cem>Arrested Development \u003c/em>is just as smart and tight and funny as the old and if we are lucky and supportive, we can do something even better than going back (because really, none of us want to be 23 again): we can grow up and watch our favorite show of all time grow up right along with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And also this: it does get a whole lot funnier. I promise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So stop complaining and start watching. This is happening. Taste the happy Michael. Taste the happy.\u003c/p>\n\n",

However, by Sunday afternoon, you could hear the sighs throughout the land. “It’s just not that funny,” people were saying to each other on the phone. “I haven’t laughed once,” read the text messages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday at lunch a bunch of my coworkers brought it up. Out of the five of us who were watching the show, all of whom purported to be True \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em> Fans, only two of us had gotten past Episode Three. I realized right then and there that I had to do something. What follows is a message to all \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em> Fans who haven’t gotten past Episode Three of Season Four of \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stop whining.\u003c/strong> Do you remember when the show first came out? You probably don’t. Everyone was confused because the title made it sound like it was about \u003ca href=\"http://youtu.be/GfxvsHpTZWk\" target=\"_blank\">that band that sang \"Mr. Wendal\"\u003c/a> and the camera work was weird, not to mention that when you just tuned in and hadn’t seen every other episode, you had no clue what was happening. You probably don’t remember because when the show first came out, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrested_Development_(TV_series)\" target=\"_blank\">nobody watched it\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It took three seasons for this show you’ve been calling your “favorite show of all time” since college to gain any momentum with viewers and then it wasn’t enough and the show got canceled. For seven years you’ve been using that cancellation as an example of what’s wrong with television and by extension, what’s wrong with the world. And now, in a truly unprecedented gift from the gods of entertainment and Netflix, the whole cast, the writers and the creator have been reunited FOR YOU, and they have created \u003ca href=\"http://movies.netflix.com/movie/Arrested-Development/70140358?mqso=81003611\" target=\"_blank\">a fourth season\u003c/a> that stays true to the tone, the spirit and the world of the show while acknowledging the passage of time and what that would mean for the characters lives. This is an amazing gift. And you’re going to stop watching because you didn’t LAUGH ENOUGH IN THE FIRST THREE EPISODES?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is like if your mom got lost at sea and then seven years later returned to you unharmed but tired and you were like, “Um, she didn’t make me a grilled cheese sandwich right away so, whatever, I’m over it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

IS THIS WHO WE’VE BECOME?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friends, I want to implore you to keep watching \u003cem>Arrested Development\u003c/em> Season Four. I just finished and I can tell you without a doubt that a) it is awesome and worthy of those years we pined for it and b) it isn’t over. If you all can stop turning on everything two seconds after you say you love it (see Anne Hathaway) and develop a little patience, I think we will live to see a future with\u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/underwire/2013/05/netflix-arrested-development-season-5/\" target=\"_blank\"> another season of your favorite show of all time\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/05/30/arrested-devlopment-season-5-or-a-movie\" target=\"_blank\">Maybe even a movie.\u003c/a> But this means you can’t give up now. You have to turn off the haterade and start watching. Tell your friends to watch. Show Netflix you love it and you don't want to lose it again. Because you don't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will never go back again to those salad days of 2003/4/5/6 so of course this iteration of the show is different. The whole world is different now than it was then. In some ways darker, in some way lighter and in all ways older. But the new \u003cem>Arrested Development \u003c/em>is just as smart and tight and funny as the old and if we are lucky and supportive, we can do something even better than going back (because really, none of us want to be 23 again): we can grow up and watch our favorite show of all time grow up right along with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And also this: it does get a whole lot funnier. I promise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So stop complaining and start watching. This is happening. Taste the happy Michael. Taste the happy.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Yes, Charlie Sheen's breakdown grabbed headlines too, but there's something in the way the Lindsays, Britneys and Amandas are hounded and criticized by the press at their weakest points that is a bit troubling.
