saw that show "arrested development" for 1st time last nite

It's probably been on for years but I'd never heard of it before. It really cracked me up, though it's on at 10:30 at night. At prime time every show is about cops and murder and I would lovee to see more programs like this one and "Strangers with candy". Please Australian networks, what about the simple folk like me who hate violence and reality shows and home improvement shows (which doesn't leave much)? sad

It's actually only in its second year-won an Emmy already-great show.

Definitely one of the my favorites-I love David Cross (Tobias) anyways.

I take all those flyers I put up about you.

Scrubs is my favorite show-I've watched it since it started.

LOST is people stranded on an island-not a family show. It's a drama, not reality. Reality is baaaaad.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is though. It's helping needy families, renovating their house, building them a new one in 7 days.

Feel good type show.

i don't like it. i saw a couple of episodes and i didn't like all the exposition and narration. i was all, "SHOW me, don't TELL me! Shee!" and maybe i'd have more patience for all the expository stuff if the tone of the show wasn't so...precious? it's kinda like "the royal tenenbaums: the series" in that it has that kinda smuggish air to it.

i dunno, maybe i should give it another chance. i love david cross, too - his last comedy album was a riot.

It takes getting used to for some people I think-and the Royal Tenenabaums is a good comparison, definitely.

I watch it mainly for David anyway.

I love Mr. Show.

i think i could do with the "royal tenenbaums" style if not for the narration. i think i could do with the narration if not for the "royal tenenbaums" style. both of those things together just make me itch, and not in the good way. i'll say this for it, though - at least it's intelligent, SCRIPTED television. nod

They made Joan Rivers guest spot into a 19 part mini-series.

I hear Ken Burns directed.

I saw a show that said that Arrested Development is a satire about the Regas family that was involved in the Adelfia Cable scandal. Apparently it gets real close to the way they really lived.
I love that show,but it might be hard to follow the story if you don't watch it often.

Arrested Dev ROCKS!!! woot! The first season was hilarious, one of the few shows that actually makes me laugh out loud (Scrubs & Bernie Mac being the others). Keep watching, hopefully this season is as good as the last & more folks get on board. It's a GREAT show, don't know why more people don't watch... fucking morons razz

woot!


I love seeing my 2 favorite shows get all this love. Scrubs is the best thing out there right now, IMO. Arrested Development I love for its wittiness and quirkiness- so refreshing after the past few years of nothing but reality tv.

I was so excited to find out Arrested Dev and Scrubs are both on two nights a week, and considering I'm up then anyway with a crying baby usually, might as well watch it. biggrin
