Potatobroth, I think I share ffolkes feelings towards Ron Howard's films as well since they often start off nice and good and then sure enough veer off into the sachrine highway of feel good/do no wrong. It's almost like a safer version of Spielbergo.

Now as for ffolkes, I disagree with him regarding Arrested Development. I love that show so much and wish that Ron would have used more of his power and clout to save the show. (who knows though, perhaps he did, we'll just never know. I'd like to think he and his partner at Imagine Entertainment, Brian Grazer, did do all they could and then some to save the series. But it seems Mitch Hurwitz might have had different intentions.)

Ron Howard's contribution to Arrested Development was wonderful as the narrator. I enjoyed when he would offer his brief little snippy comments on certain charater's like Henry Winkler's.
