Arrested Development: Great Show or Greatest Show?
This is an Arrested appreciation thread. I was going to wait till the trailer for the movie came out but it hasn't yet and I just bought all the seasons and wanted to tell you all how great it is.
If you haven't watched it, watch it. If you have watched it, good for you. If you don't like it, kill yourself.
And now for your amusement:
Seriously how anyone could not like this show is beyond me. Even if it ran for twenty years I'd never miss an episode.

If I was dictator I'd round up and shoot everyone who had anything to do with its cancellation.

Just started again from episode 1 today. You know a show is terrific when you can keep coming back for more, watching again and again and it still remains funny (like Seinfeld, season 2-8 Simpsons, and season 1-3 Family Guy).

I liked it alot more before Michael started joining in the family way. Which was around season two...I liked it when he was the stand up guy.
Still funny, my conscience creeps in a little more as the seasons went by.
TV normalized behaviour, that is my only quip with humour like that as a whole. Doesn't mean I don't partake however.

word to freaks and geeks, wish there was more than one season.
edit: but now that I think of it, pretty much every seth rogen movie ever is a sequel.

i'm totally in favor of arrested development and it disappoints me that it only made it to three seasons. buster and GOB totally make the show IMO.

There's supposedly an AD movie in the works.
I'm glad The Boondocks is kicking off another season.
I also wish Portia de Rossi didn't play for the muff divers.
