Title: Arrested Development
Post by: Tanjential on March 05, 2008, 01:15:20 PM
Has anyone seen this show?

Seriously one of the best sitcoms of all time. So densely packed with intelligent Jew humor it's ridiculous. It's like a modern descendant of Seinfeld but in Cali. Seriously in my top 5 shows ever made.

It's about a rich family who owns a real estate development company and what happens when their dad goes to jail for corporate embezzlement and fraud. Friggin' hilarious in every way.

It got cancelled from FOX cause the humor was over most people's heads. Check it out and see if y'all get it.

Probably one of the best shows ever, the way the story lines coincided, genius!

I think I would have daily rants either on the internet or in real life about how AD got canceled.

Asome sitcom! A must see for all the sitcom fans. It's so wack that there's only 3 seasons. They're actually planning on doing a movie:http://imdb.com/title/tt0901469/

wha? you'd rather have rants?

your phrasing confuses me.


Meho: the movie is in talks. the creative team is down but they need a studio to fund and back it. But in the shorter term, a documentary about the show is already being made and should be out summer/fall

I would complain daily about the cancellation of the show.

still kind of confused.

you would complain about the show being cancelled if it got cancelled...which it did?

you mean you do complain about the show or you would?

Ohhh word.

Yeah, show's the shit.

Hurtwitz has said he took it as far as it could go in a serialized format and is glad it ended before it could overstay its welcome.

-and here's your chance to to say sorry to Tanji and welcome him back. I'm pretty sure he will be back to check this thread. Then we're cool...


Just the fact that he likes Arrested Development more than makes up for any previous offense.

Family Love Michael

just rewatched it a few months ago.  It ended so well.  I'm glad it wasnt just cancelled but given the opportunity to end before being cut.

pick up the DVD's people  if Family fuckin guy can come back something wonderful could happen with AD.

another great one im watching right now is Freaks and Geeks that got canceled prematurely too.

yeah, that show was pretty funny...but i think youre giving it too much credit when you say its "one of the top 5 shows ever"...but then again, its only opinions...but either way, still funny.

i was watching interviews last night where all kinds of cats were calling it the most intelligent sitcom ever and stuff. i'd say that it's definitely the most complex sitcom i've ever seen. but I don't see how it's more intelligent than seinfeld which is what i would call the best sitcom ever. AD's premise is more complex than seinfeld's but seinfeld's premise is handled just as intelligently as AD's is imo.

Funniest show I've ever watched. I've rewatched the entire run at least 4 times, and I still laugh every episode. Its a shame it was over peeps heads. And even the peeps who got it, had trouble getting back into it because the episodes played so much off each other. Even episodes from a season back. If you've not peeped it, grab the dvds. You won't be disappointed.
