Arrested Development vs. It's Always Sunny...??

[Hawkeye]

Inspired by the thread about those two good cartoons...I'll go with Arrested Development, but I've only seen like 2 episodes of it's Always Sunny

AD is the greatest show ever.

Not seen It's Always Sunny but I'm pretty sure my vote would go to AD anyway.

do y'all remember the episode...  afternoon delight?

   Michael: I think she needs some "Afternoon Delight". [Oscar Laughs]
   Narrator: Oscar thought Michael was referring to a particular kind of cannabis, called "Afternoon Delight".
   Oscar: Well, sure. The question is, which way do I try to get it in her?
   Michael: I don't need any details.
   Oscar: Maybe...I'll put it in her brownie.
   Michael: Hey!

This forum turned me onto AD ;)  Thank you all by the way!  Have just started to get into Its Always Sunny so.....hands down AD ;D

Arrested Development is my favourite television show ever.  Ive watched the complete seasons well in excess of 20 times.  I've got autographed pictures of Michael Cera and Jessica Walters hanging on my wall.  G.O.B. is the greatest television character ever.

That being said, It's Always Sunny is my favourite post-AD-cancellation show on television.

i'm going to say it, i've never seen Arrested Development. But i've watched one eposide of sunny. so i can't vote.

rip on me, i can take it.

I've finally gotten into Always Sunny this season and I think it's hilarious.  I still have never seen a full episode of AD though :-/

look at this and know why you should at least watch ad at least once.

I'd post the greatest scene ever (the one where Michael gives Tobias the basket and Michael makes him tape record himself...Tobias You Blowhard), but those assclowns at Fox made Youtube take down most of the clips.

I love the part when Buster has Franklin: "I don't want no part of your country club you freak bitch!"

It's Always Sunny is HILARIOUS and pretty smart, but Arrested Development....it just takes the cake.  It is one of the best TV shows ever, to me at least.  The key is that I can watch the episodes numerous times.  I get bore with Sunny episodes after I've seen them more than a few times.

PS - Has anyone ever seen Will Arnett play air guitar to the Law and Order theme on Conan?  I guess he's done it a couple of times, but the first time he did it I was dying.

Too bad YouTube had to take THOSE clips down too.

Kel, he totally did 'air clarinet' one of the last times he was on Conan.  Amazing.

Yeah, the first one they did, Conan did the air clarinet.  I mean, I love Conan & Will Arnett, so it was hilarious to watch them just interact in the first place.  Then they bust out the Law & Order air guitar...oh man (triple threat - i love law and order as well)

I cant get enough of AD - isn't it still getting played on cable (G4 or something)?

I never thought I would laugh so hard at something narrated by Opey Griffith


But I've never seen Sunny - just giving props to AD

When Fox aired the last 4 episodes of AD I threw a party complete with ice cream sandwiches, frozen bananas, and juice.  I also cried when Ron Howard said (made small for slight spoiler) "It was Arrested Development." as the boat rides off in the sunset.

There's money in the banana stand...

Arrested Development...hands down!  I am not a fan of Sunny in Philly at all. My boyfriend loves it and thinks it's hilarious, but it is NOT my favorite, by any means. I don't think it's that great.  Danny DeVito is hilarious though.
