Arrested Development

It was nice to see Bob Odenkirk on tonight's episode of Arrested Development. He was a marriage counselor, and his scene with David Cross and Portia di Rossi had a touch of that old Mr. Show magic.

Arrested Development is the funniest show on network TV right now. And given Fox's track record with funny shows (the Tick, Andy Richter Controls the Universe), I'm not expecting it to be on TV for much longer.

The Simpsons was pretty good, too. I got a good laugh out of where Homer was taking Santa's Little Helper to get neutered: Nuts Landing. And Homer's Politically Incorrect/The View/Tough Crowd type of show was great....and how Homer convinced Krusty he was grotesque enough to host that show was fantastic. And I liked the gag where Homer thought Pepto Bismol was baby blood.

But the best part was Homer's Power fantasy involved his stopping both the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy.

And there's a commercial where Dave Chapelle fights with one of those roving handle-less vacuum cleaners, and it eats his pants. Very good, too.
