What the Huff?
By Candie Kelty
For years, I refused to get involved in any new TV shows. I've been watching the Simpsons since the Tracy Ullman days so of course I have to keep watching, but that's it. I won't get involved in any other shows. Except Barney Miller, it's my favorite show of all time so I have to watch it when it comes on even though I've been watching the same episodes for almost 30 years, and of course I tune in to a Golden Girls episode now and then. But nothing I have to watch on a regular basis. I just can't handle the emotional investment. Okay, every two months or so I'll turn on The Office and My Name is Earl, but that's it. I will not be sucked in!
Along came Arrested Development. Once I got hooked, it got yanked out from underneath me. I was almost relieved of the burden of keeping up with the show. Really. I'm better off without it.
A month or two ago I ordered Showtime so I could watch their new series, Brotherhood. Honestly, I only watch it so I have an excuse to look at Jason Isaacs once a week, but I got the unexpected gift of learning new phrases like "Wicked Pissed!" and "F**kin' Retahded!" When I was skimming through Showtime on Demand, I noticed the second season of Huff. I love Oliver Platt because he reminds me of my husband, and surely Showtime isn't going to be ditching this show anytime soon. They don't even have commercials, I'm actually paying to get to watch it, so I'm safe, right? I sat down and watched the whole season in about a week.
After watching the second season of Huff, I got curious about the first season. I couldn't find it to rent anywhere so I had to go buy the DVDs. I figured it was a worthwhile expenditure because I would be all ready for season three when it came out. Anytime now. When is season three of Huff coming out? I'm dying to know what happened with Tupper leaving the firm and that whole dead hooker thing and will he be a good dad and Teddy almost killing his girlfriend and does he ever take that pill that could help him but might kill him and does Huff move back in and will Izzy ever move back to her own place? And will Byrd always be an over-privileged brat?
While watching the Emmys yesterday I found out that Huff had been cancelled. What am I supposed to do with all of these questions? I can't even look at my season one DVDs; was it all just lies, or did it really mean something?
Now I hear that Arrested Development is coming back. I don't even know what to do with this information. I'm afraid to care, but once again I'm sure I'll be courted back with flowers and boxes of chocolates and promises of change.

sadly they cancelled the show last year im so pissed about it however they have be playing re-runs maybe they are trying to put it back out there and are thinking about airing a season 3 that would be awesome..
Huff is AWSOME! It is so in-your-face. My wife and I love watching it. And usually we hate TV. We even bought a 42" plasma screen just for Huff! It would really pain us if there was no Season 3.
