Arrested Development
 

This has got to be one of the FUNNIEST shows on Television!

this month I went through the 2 first seasons, and also catching up on the third one as we speak.

who else loves this stuff? :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

It's awesome, so sad that it was cancelled. One of the best comedy's I've seen in awhile.

I miss it already.

I've got the DVDs and an ESS.TV account, so old episodes are always available.

yeah one of the funniest shows on tv

Yeah, it's fucking funny! Seasons 1-3 were the best though!

Unfortunately it seems that Showtime won't be picking it up after Fox cancelled. What a shame!! I'd love to see more of it :thumbsup

why did showtime decide not to pick it up?

Something about the creator not being up to it... but he did say something about making a movie on the family... we all know how that can go :Oh crap

Best tv serie i seen in many years. Too bad it's not a mainstream taste. Too difficult jokes?

Great show it will be missed

Hopefully the creater changes his mind. This show was one of the best.

i hope i can watch that :)

Wife and I started watching season 1, It is damn funny..
Sons and Daughters is pretty good as well.

No doubt the funniest thing to be on TV in ages.

:thumbsup

it's the best sitcom ever made. i love it.

i wish it hadnt been cancelled! that fucking sucks.

what's wierd is, the show is pretty "on the money". the "oc" area has a lot of fucked up families like that.

I liked it alot. Sucks that it was cancelled. Seems like most of the shows I liked cancelled early.

I couldn't fucking stand that show.. I watched the first few episodes and never ever watched it again.

Horrible.

never heard of it, will check it out

It is the funniest show on television next to Curb Your Enthusiasm. Its cancellation was a prime example of the stupidity of your average American TV viewer.

I absolutely love that show. My favorite part is the smears of blue paint on every wall in the house. There is almost always one in the background of every shot.

The biggest problem (and best part) of shows like Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm is the character development. Every character is so developed and complex, to truly understand all of the jokes and just how hilarious everything is, you really need to start watching from the very beginning.

Take for example Tobias from Arrested Development. In the second season there's an episode where Lindsay wants to protest the GGW rip off. Tobias wants to join in until he realizes the producer of the GGW rip is also a never nude after Lindsay pulls down his pants in revenge. That was fucking hilarious but a new viewer would never understand it without watching the series from the very beginning.

Complex characters make a show great, but it takes so long for a typical viewer to get "into" the show. I never would have watched it if a friend didn't make me, and it took 2 or 3 episodes for me to start enjoying it.

I had a great time watching that show. Michael Bateman is very good.

Unlimited juice??? THIS PARTY IS GONNA BE OFF THE HOOK!!!


ohhhhhh Buster :1orglaugh

[Lucille replaces Lupe with a robot vacuum cleaner, then catches Buster in bed with it]

Buster: Well, what do you expect, mother?

[holds up his hook]

Buster: I'm half machine! I'M A MONSTER!!!!

It's a shame that whenever the FOX network actually gets a good show, it ends up cancelled. (family guy's a great example)

some people just dont get it

Ugh family guy got canned ? I loved the episode when he created his own country
