Everything old is new again

Just when I had written off the network sit-com for dead, I catch Arrested Development on DVD. Fuck me, but that is some seriously funny shit, people. And I've only watched two episodes so far. But while we're talking about this critic's darling, can someone tell me when Jason Bateman became hot again? Because I remember it dimly from my Teen Beats of yore, but I thought those days were over. I was wrong. Oh, I was wrong. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, you're out. My Sundays have room for you no more. (And I was getting tired of all the crying anyway.)
