Just made my day - i love arrested development while everyone else i knpw hates it

thebigcheese22

I really hope they do make a movie! One of the best comedies of the last decade, and totally unfairly pulled before its time

People who hate 'Arrested Development' just don't understand it.. and probably shovel in the excrement of 'Two And A Half Men' to tie them over!

Fantastic first two seasons. Not pulled before its time though. Faded fast in the stop/start final season. Should be left be.

For currently running comedies, I can see a good deal of Arrested Development in 30 Rock - and not only because of Arnett's recurring character.

I totally see flashes of Arrested Development in 30 Rock both are similar comedy styles.

Arrested Development was clever funny and IMO was too clever for the vast majority of the american tv audience especially when you look at comedies that succeed and run and run in the recent past ie. Everybody Loves Raymond, King of Queens and the previuosly mentioned Two and a Half Men.

I still argue that it was pulled too early.

The best comedy over the last decade. An utter shame about it being pulled
Yeah ive heard about this being in the pipelines for a few months now. the only setback was apparently that the guy who plays George Michael hadnt agreed to it yet. Everyone else had though i think. Cant remember for the life of me where i read that though

RE*AC*TOR

Best comedy series ever IMO.

3rd series took an odd direction alright, but still had me consistently pissing myself.

ShoulderChip

I thought 3rd season was immensse, they knew they were getting cancelled and just fucking went for it, not a bad way to go

Henry Winkler (Barry Zuckerkorn) jumping over a shark - GENIUS

Once again with an American TV Show not aired over here,I was a little skeptical about watching it as I didn't really know what it was about! (Same as 30 Rock in that respect)

But having just seen Season 1+2,I can honestly I've never pissed myself laughing so consistently at a Tv Show,I mean its just genius. The characters are wacky as hell,and the plot is even more so,but its just works somehow!

Which leads me to the question....Why in gods name was it cut?!

Cabaal

always loved this show, know very few people who like it which is an awful shame

I was aired on BBC2. I think it made an appearance on TV3 too.

The 'loose seal' skit was hilarious!

The Don

Love this show. Its absolutely excellent. I loved the way jokes ran over a few episodes and some jokes recurred with new twists. Also each episode was only a part of the full story. It was really well written and had a great cast that suited their characters perfectly. I was really sorry when it went. But now its back

It was on TV3 when I watched it.

You can stream every episode here 100% legally

Love the way the whole programme had a good symmetry, with it starting and ending on a boat!

I would hope tambor kicks cera up the ass. i dont know why he's dragging his heels on this, he plays george michael in every film he's been in anyway, so he may as well do it in an AD movie....as his schtick is rapidly getting old.

Ceras on board already!

Yeah that MSN site is great!! Im rewatching AD for 3rd time... still getting bits i might have missed first and second time... it really is genius!!

Picked up the region 1 DVD's of seasons 1 - 3 on Amazon last year... €20 for the 3.

Only started re-watching them last week in fact.

biko

Season one, fantastic
Season two, very good
Season three, not as good

Basq

I think I was one of the first to say season 3 wasn't a patch on the first two when it was airing.. but I think I'm in the minority that preferred season 2 to season 1.
