    Default Arrested Development

    The third and final season of Arrested Development is out on DVD. Discuss the awesomeness that was Arrested Development. The show, not the silly little rap group thing.

    It's my favourite show, so I hate humanity for not watching it and keeping it on the air.

    Every episode was so quirky and strange and off the wall that I could never get enough of it!

    Now the only sitcom worth watching anymore is Scrubs.

    Yes, Scrubs is the only funny thing left on TV. Good thing it's got enough funny to cover all of those reality shows.

    I love this show AND the rap-group.

    Man, they really got crazy in the later episodes, it was amazing. Like the dolphin biting off Buster's hand

    The Office is pretty great too.

    But yeah, America is stupid. Arrested Development was the smartest, funniest comedy that was on during its run but no one watched it. What's up with that? I looooved all the inside jokes that you can pick up on. Sometimes, you keep finding new jokes when you re-watch the episodes. I especially enjoyed those jabs they took at FOX toward the end of the show's run. Hee.

    Oh and this show took puns and play on words and freakin' ran with it. So fantastic.

    Ah, yes, I forgot about The Office. That's pretty good. The little extra jokes you discover when you rewatch are awesome! That's why I bought all of the DVDs. The throwback jokes were pretty fun, but I think they might have alienated a lot of new viewers. Like, unless you saw the first episode, you wouldn't understand half of the jokes in the last one. It's kind of neat to be part of a small group of people a show seems to be made for, though.

    Damn, I can't believe I forgot that. I used to watch that show religiously.

    Great show. Too much for the American public to handle I guess. My girlfriend is going to buy season three and we'll watch it this weekend.

    I only watch sitcoms on reruns. Helps me filter through the crap. If a good one slips through the cracks because I am not watching then too bad.

    I am more into the serialized dramas like 24 and Prison Break.

    The only shows I watch regularly are House, Prison Break, and The Office. The Office is so great because Steve Carell and Rainn Wilson compliment each other perfectly.

    I'd like to start watching Scrubs again though. It was great while it lasted.

    Arrested Development !

    I loved the 3rd season, but it was abruptly stolen away !
    Chuck Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War? Tina? Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy? Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.

    Nobody watched it because FOX horribly misrepresents its best shows by constantly changing time slots and bouncing around the worst slots at that, so that no one ever knows when it's on. See: Futurama, Firefly.

    The show was brilliant, though. I always tried to catch it when it was on.
