Title card of Arrested Development
Title card of Arrested Development

"The One Where Michael Leaves" is the second-season premiere of the American television satirical sitcom Arrested Development (title card pictured), originally broadcast on the Fox Network in November 2004. The series follows the wealthy Bluth family, and the episode focuses mainly on Michael Bluth as he and his son attempt to flee to Phoenix while his father is held in prison. Meanwhile, Tobias gets an audition for the Blue Man Group. The episode's production received assistance from the group, who asked only that the series keep their air of mystery. The full-body blue paint was a hassle for David Cross, despite the fact that the Blue Man Group in reality only wears blue leotards with face paint. The episode received mostly positive reception, and is retrospectively considered one of the series's finest episodes. Since airing, it has also received thematic analysis from both scholars and critics. (Full article...)

Hip, Hip, Hurrah!

Hip, Hip, Hurrah! is an oil-on-canvas painting from 1888 by the Danish painter Peder Severin Krøyer. The work shows various members of the Skagen Painters, a group of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish artists who formed a loose community in Skagen, at the northern tip of Jutland, in the 1880s and early 1890s. Krøyer began the painting in 1884 after a party at Michael Ancher's house, with the composition inspired by photographs taken at the celebration by the German artist Fritz Stoltenberg, although the individuals featured are not all the same. A dispute arose between Krøyer and Ancher the following day when the former returned uninvited to continue work on the piece, and although they reconciled Krøyer was not permitted to use Ancher's garden as the setting. The Swedish art collector Pontus Fürstenberg bought the painting before it was completed, and it was displayed at Charlottenborg in 1888. He later donated the work to the Gothenburg Museum of Art, where it has hung since.
