    Arrested Development Ratings

    5-28-13-Bearman-Cartoon-Arrested Development Ratings Perception vs Reality

    So the new season of Arrested Development has finally streamed on Netflix to what appears to be heavy streaming of the new episodes, disappointment from critics, and a stock tumble because reception of the fourth season wasn’t as good as expected.  I will be honest, I remember when the show premiered on Fox, I wasn’t a fan.   I guess I wasn’t the only one because it peaked at about 6 million viewers and was about 120 on the ratings list.   Sure you can blame Fox for poor scheduling but it just never caught on during it’s run even though the critics lauded it.

    But unlike the Fox run, as my cartoon alludes to the poor ratings, those critics got the buzz continuing and it saw new life on streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu.   So the rabid fan base couldn’t wait till the new season.   Sadly the critics aren’t as giddy with Season 4 so we will see if there is a Season 5.

    Are you an Arrested Development fan?   What am I missing?

  • Editorial Cartoon: Occupy Elm Street

    Editorial Cartoon Occupy Elm Street

    I was upset that I didn’t come up with the “Occupy Sesame Street” posts that are circulating on the internet.  But I think I am the first to call for the Occupy Elm Street protests

    Wasn’t sure if I liked the format of this as an editorial cartoon as above or a call to action poster as below with more subtlety to what they are protesting.  Which do you like better?
