Title: Arrested Development
Post by: red on Aug 24, 2006, 12:29 AM
Greatest TV show ever?  I think so.

I just got my Season 3 DVD's in and I'm in love all over again.  This show has so much replay value, it's scary.  

Gob = The greatest character to ever grace any medium.


I realize I only have a handful of posts, but this thread is a must.

I'd never heard of this until I saw a trailer for it last night. Will definately give it a whirl.

I watched 1 & 2 back-to-back on DVD & loved every minute of it.
I have 3 on order, it's being held up by My Name Is Earl.

My top 3 currently running 30 minute sitcoms.

1. Arrested Development.
2. Office (US version)  Still trying to find time to watch UK original
3. Curb Your Enthusiasm

Also, looking forward to the new full season of Extras coming up.  Scrubs is also a favorite of mine but couldn't quite make the list.

I'm holding out hope for a Showtime return.  Or is that no longer on the table?

No. It was out a long time ago, unfortunately.  :(

Great list, but you must watch the original Office.  Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are bloody amazing, hence my anticipation for Season 2 of Extras.

Yeah, I have Season One of the Gervais office on DVD that I borrowed from a friend and I plan to start on them soon.

Enjoy! It's my favorite thing to ever grace television.
You gotta have both seasons though.

You HAVE to watch the UK version of The Office. The US version wasn't as awful as it could have been, but I don't think it holds a candle to the original.

Arrested Development was a show that I didn't "find out" about until after it was off the air. It really is a work of genius.
