We also got it on DVD. In a way I'm glad they cancelled it. One of the best comedies of all time came from England, Fawlty Towers. John Cleese made the perfect 12 episodes and refused to make any more.
Same as Arrested Development. 3 seasons is all they need. Shows get fucking boring after a while so looking back, I'm glad they didn't get a chance to fuck up the show by running it too long.
I feel the Office is headed that way. The BBC version of the office is bad ass. 2 seasons and a follow up season and it was perfect. Our American version is going into it's 4th year... LAME.

Watch it again, the first episode and last episode of the series match each other. Sometimes almost shot for shot. The entire series opens with Michael and George Michael waking up together. The last episode starts off the same way. And the first episode shows them on a boat, and the series ends that way. Watch it again, it's very clever.
Brilliant show. Now If I could just get Nate in brackets to get into it. It suck when he doesn't get our constant narratives done ala Ron Howard style.
TheDirtyWhiteBoy and I sit here all night and do Ron Howard narratives.

me ~ (to the tune of Ron Howard) "It wasn't"
LOL!!!! I guess you gotta know the show as well as us.
