Franklin Comes Alive!

A few days ago I mentioned that you should drop what you're doing right now and watch Arrested Development.  I've continued to watch it since, and since discovering that I can watch Netflix via my iPod in the Target break room, have been using my breaks to watch more episodes.  This additional time has allowed me to begin the final of the 3 original seasons today, and the show keeps getting better and better.  The situations just keep getting more ridiculous, the jokes keep building up over many episodes, and hilarious characters keep being introduced.  Since I know a). no one is reading this in the first place and b). if for some reason some is reading this you likely aren't up to where I am in the show, I don't want to give away too many spoilers, I will refrain from doing so.

With one exception:  Franklin Delano Bluth.



Franklin is G.O.B.'s puppet that he introduced into his magic act to spice things up.  One episode I watched today while on break showed the two of them making a record titled Franklin Comes Alive! (spoofing Frampton Comes Alive!) to promote racial equality.

Same thing

It made it pretty difficult for me to maintain my composure in the break room while I knew people were watching me.  Totally worth it.

The clip didn't seem to work unless it was after a jump break for some reason, so I added one to avoid frustration among my non-viewership.  So continued after the break...





I'm just hoping at this point that Franklin keeps popping up in the 3rd (and maybe 4th) season.

Seriously.  Watch this show if you have Netflix.
