I have just discovered Arrested Development. What a great show!
Edited on Fri Dec-17-04 05:26 PM by AgadorSparticus
I recently got the blockbuster monthly pass and rented season one of AD. I could not stop laughing. It is one of the very few shows that just left me in stitches. I can see why it won so many awards. The writing is so quirky and hilarious. My favorite character is George Micheal. His expressions and delivery are fantastic. Anyone else a fan?

1. I just found it too
last weekend we watched the first season. I love it!!! I never thought it would be that funny, now I'm a fan. My favorite character is the little foreign kid from Asia.

4. anjian? LOL
It cracked me up how Buster got so jealous of Anjian taking his place. One of my favorite scenes is when Gob made the boat disappear. His freakish dancing on the stage was too much.

2. Love that show!
I've been weaning myself from the TV by not getting sucked into any of the new shows for the last couple years. It's worked pretty well. All I watch now are the Simpsons and Enterprise. But I've always liked Jason Bateman, so I decided to check out AD. One episode and I was hooked. It's kind of like WKRP in Cincinatti was--one sane person with all kinds of insanity swirling around him. Hysterical.

7. The latest entry
in the Star Trek franchise. Don't know if it will make it as many years as the other ones did.

8. oh wait. yes, i do remember seeing a trailer for this show on the
sci-fi channel. i think that it will have to be really different from the other star trek series to last because it needs to compete with all the scifi series now.

3. It's a good show.
George Michael is funny. I also like the magician brother. We need more funny sitcoms and fewer reality shows (and crappy sitcoms).

9. The funniest line I've heard in months in last weeks episode.
"Are you wearing my dead wife's maternity clothes?"

You will not hear dialog like that on ANY other show.
