Some things get better with age
Posted November 19th, 2008 by Kimberly DowdThe new holiday Gap ads are out, featuring stars in ensembles that would look completely garish on mere mortals, but hip and cute in the ads.
And this year I have reason to rejoice, because they feature the recipient of my very first fan letter, Jason Bateman.
Jason played “David,” the oldest brother on the sitcom Valerie, which was then called Valerie’s Family then the Hogan family after Valerie Harper quit the show. He was a handsome, roguish type, and in a scene from the opening of the show that forever remains burned in my brain, he played hockey. (Go here and forward to the :33 mark. Rawr!)
And now he’s 39 years old. And ohmigod….
…wow…

I am in LOVE with Jason Bateman! I saw this ad on the back of my Real Simple magazine last night and had the same reaction. In fact, I wanted to blog about it too, but went to bed instead. Ha.
Arrested Development is one of the best shows ever!

OMG I luvre Jason Bateman! Totally watched Valerie’s Family and The Hogans was it? And LOVED him on Arrested Development. Great show. Yes he does get better with age.
His little girl looks just like him. Little cutie!

Hoooo doggies, does LJ ever have a crush on this guy!
I remember seeing him from a short-lived sitcom called “It’s Your Move” which, IIRC, was short-lived for a reason. At least he triumphed over that fiasco and kept plugging along to bigger and better things.
