Should've Called This Show 'The Parasite'
5 November 2021
I thought Will Arnett's character in Arrested Development was pretty loathsome, but he literally said, "hold my beer." Chip is arguably one of the most pathetic characters ever put on a show that lasted more than a season. I like some of the other characters, (Cooler carries the entire load of comedy on his shoulders) but oddly enough, it's the soundtrack that derails this show more than anything else. Hideously forgettable indy songs, fished out of the bargain bin of some head shop permeate the show and are so very much misplaced in every scene torpedoes this attempt at comedy.

It is unrealistic even for the hippy lifestyle that may exist in Venice, for characters to remain loyal to this most annoying of parasites in Arnett. No job, no home, no family and 2 friends to his name. That's the stuff of comedies?
