Hawkeye is a f@*%tard. Arrested Development is the most intelligently crafted comedy in a generation. Some of the challenges to its survival(and I'm lifting this from an interview on theonion.com) are that where most half-hour comedies shoot 30 shots per epi, AD shoots 60. It also requires the viewer to have a sense of humor of their own instead of relying on the laugh track to tell them when to stop drooling and start chortling. There`s so much call-back humor and self-reference - and all at such a fast pace - in each episode that it`s easy to leave a simple viewer behind. Were it any other station, I`d say "hopefully they have enough sense - or at least comedic integrity - to recognize the vast superiority of this show to anything else they have going (sans Simpsons), but it`s Fox, home of O`Reilly and Murdoch. As for American Dad: Family Guy = outstanding. American Dad = shallow retread of same format. I only hope MacFarlane can give the next iteration of FG

Firefly - never saw it Arrested Development - never got into it American Dad - saw the premier on AS and laughed. Not in a good way, mind you.
