The Trivial Pursuit of Arthur Banks is an exclusive online show featured on AMC.com and Hulu.com
And The Trivial Pursuit of Arthur Banks (TTPAB) is the best new ‘show’ out there. And here is why:
1) If you added the voiceover in Arrested Development, the high-brow literary references and jokes of Bored To Death, and the Jewish nothingness/neuroticism of Seinfeld, and you have created TTPAB.
2) The main character is ADAM GOLDBERG, aka THE HEBREW HAMMER, and he is a theater director who has several unfortunate relationships. Last time I remotely cared about a character he played was the spoiled Jewish coke-fiend movie-financier in Entourage. His acting in this show is Entourage X 1,000.
3) Jeffrey Tambor (George Bluth Sr. & Oscar in Arrested Development) plays Goldberg’s hilarious psychiatrist. Tambor is also a Jew, and also a former Scientologist. The Jew part is more important.
If you don’t believe me, watch the first episode (Entitled “I Pulled a Polanksi”….yep) below, and click here to see all the others.

Golberg is one those underrated artists out there. He is just so incredibly funny. I think The Trivial Pursuits of Arthur Banks will perhaps finally give more widespread recognition, but most likely not. I looooved him in 2 days in Paris.
