Arrested Development

[blackdogdeek]

i've been watching arrested development on hulu.com and for the life of me i can't understand:

1. how i missed this show
2. how it got cancelled

here's a great quote from the episode i'm currently watching:

"you just won the gold medal at the sexual special olympics!"

Arrested Development is one of my favorite shows =)

Nominates narrator for best character..

2. No laugh track, so people didn't know when they were supposed to be laughing. That is frustrating.

 

[RESmonkey]

it was funny

 

[toekramp]

you answered your own question... "how i missed this show"

whenever I got people into the show they loved it, however too many people were unaware.

 

[UberNeuman]

I just "blue" myself....

And that's why you don't try to teach your father lessons...

 

[DukeFan21]

Somewhere out there is a seal with just one flipper, swimming in a circle...freaking out his whole family.

 

[blackdogdeek]

thank goodness for hulu.com. without it i wouldn't ever know about this show unless i bought the dvds or BT'ed them.

 

[Lorax]

steve holt!

it got cancelled because no one watched it... until it was too late.

"O-kay, who'd like a banger in the mouth?"
...
"Right, I forgot, here in the States, you call it a *sausage* in the mouth."
"We just call it a sausage."

Just started re-watching the DVDs for the third time. Easily one of the top 5 funniest shows in the history of television.

*Turns to Anne and his son in the back of the car*

"GEORGE MICHAEL!"

Gob FTW .

I think some may not have watched it simply because it may've came off as weird. I mean you have tons of strange ideas floating around in the show like Buster's mama's boy/Oedipus complex, George Michael's "obsession" with his cousin and just other odd things that spring up in almost every episode.

I would rate this in my TOP 1 show. Too bad they won't pull a Family Guy on it.

 

[UberNeuman]

That's stupid. There's so many subtle little things to notice if you watch it over and over that it's incredible.

Not to mention that it's supposed to feel like a reality show.

Nah, it actually wasn't that funny. Hell, it still isn't that funny. It won't be that funny in a year from now either.
