From the “OK name your price” dept…<\/p>\n

Now that Arrested Development has aired its final self-destructive last episodes, I thought it was a good time to get off my booty and do something about it.

Here’s the email I sent:<\/p>\n

We are not subscribers yet, but if you pick up Arrested Development we will sign up quicker than you can say Cu-CAW! Cu-CAW! Plus we will love you forever and get all our friends to subscribe and all that sort of good stuff.
\nThanks for listening,
