Arrested Development starting on FX Tuesday 8th February.

Superb.

The boxset of all 3 seasons is regularly available for €25.. here it is at Amazon for £21.98 (spend £25+ for free delivery).

I started rewatching season 1 again a week or so again. I expected to be dissapointed thinking I had hyped how good it was all those years ago. I was not dissapointed, one of the best shows ever.

amazing show, how something this well written struggled to 3 seasons and stuff like Two and a Half Men is on its seemingly 20th at this stage baffles me. This is one of those shows where theres more laugh out loud funny moments in one episode than some comedy series entire seasons.

I wish I could watch it again for the first time, if only for lines like:

"I'm afraid I just blue myself"

"Hows the new trick?"
"tricks are what whores do for money Michael, I perform illusions"

"Her?"

"Anyong!"

and stuff like the blue man group, Steve Holt! Bob Lawblaws Law Blog, the japanese businessmen visit, "stupid cornballing piece of ****!" , the afternoon delight karaoke scene, Busters army stint, Carl Weathers "we got a stew goin!"

and of course..

"theres always money in the banana stand"

None of these make a lick of sense to first time viewers, but I guarantee someone whos seen the series is chuckling to themselves thinking about all the amazing comedy moments in this season, enjoy

"It's as Ann as the nose on plain's face!"

I still burst out laughing at Ann's yearbook pic "not pictured" even though she clearly is

Buster being neither seen nor heard and randomly appearing in the background or leaning out from behind walls is still hilarious.

"sure, the guy in the $5000 dollar suit is gonna hold the elevator for you? c'mon!"

Oh, and Mrs Featherbottoms big Mary Poppins moment trying to jump off the landing, one of the best laugh out loud moments in comedy history "we shant be telling mother about this!"

I don't think I've ever laughed so much at something in my life, as always it's the way it's done.
I'm thinking maybe some spoiler tags because we're giving away some of the best bits.

I had to pause the dvd I was laughing so much, missed all the dialogue after it

aw man I wish I could wipe my memory and watch this for the first time again, the jokes are so brilliantly telegraphed in it, theres jokes in the very first episode that arent referenced again until season 2, I'm sure I spotted a Save Surely poster in like the 2nd ep, that doesnt come until way further into it.

"There are literally dozens of us!"

I completely agree with Krudler, i would love to be able to go back and watch it fresh.

Her?

Im a big fan of Anne/plant/bland/egg/yam/ann hog and all her jokes or when Michael abandons her in Mexico!

Amazing, ive seen this show several times through and i cant wait to series link it and watch it all again.
