Most people I talk to have never heard of this show but it's one of my favorites. Albeit quirky, it's very watchable. Just wondering if anybody else had an appreciation for it

I didn't watch it when it was out but I know it was funny. I'll eventually buy the DVD set. It's only 1 season right?

Of course something that is good gets 1 season and the other crap on t.v. is on for 8 or 9 seasons. I hate that.

Yes it was a great show, though I felt it was more clever than hilarious. But I'd take it over Two & a Half Men

Hillarious television show, now its known as "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Larry David is insane.

i just got through the entire series recently. good stuff! i agree that it's more clever than it is outright funny, but they did a really good job at being clever.

one of the best sitcoms ever on american TV.

I really wish they would do a spin off movie or something already. This show is just too good for nothing else to come of it and the 3 short seasons just show what good tv is all about

Now I am confused, did a search and doesn't look as if Larry was involved with Arrested Development, yet I recall that when the "CYE" first ran it was called Arrested Development. It then moved to HBO. Anyone know if this is true?

I don't think they're related in any way

jill4life said:

no. i'm just guessing here, but there might have been some mix-up where one of the shows started out using the other show's title, but i'm sure that would have been a total accident/coincidence. also, i think jeff garlin might have been on both series, but as totally different characters.

larry? cye??

ohhhh... larry david and curb...

no, no relation, though both are very smart and clever

One of my favorite shows EVER & there's a movie in the works

I love Arrested Development! My favourite line from the show is when Gob says to Buster "I'm your older brother nothing you do impresses me." Funny 'cause it's true.

Especially when the older brother is a jerk & the younger brother is a loser

The 3 seasons of Arrested Development probably has the most replay value of any DVD set I have purchased.

Show was genius.

As for the movie... That's been a long-winded rumor. There's been no start-up in production whatsoever. Could happen, but unlikely.

Anxiety said:

Thanks, don't know where that notion came from.

Never heard of it.

i love arrested development. i don't often laugh out loud at it, but it is very clever and entertaining.

There IS going to be a movie for this hilarious show!!! I read that Michael Cera was the only hold out to sign on, and he finally just signed on to do it about a month ago. Gob is easily the funniest character, followed closely by Tobias.

Oh, do yourself a favor and Netflix it or something...you will not regret it. Best. Show. Ever. Ever!

What is Arrested Development?
I don't understand the question, and I won't respond to it.

I just watched the entire run of this series on Hulu.com...it's freakin' hysterical lol ...but, yeah, more clever than funny is a good way to describe it although I found myself laughing out loud constantly.

If you haven't seen it, you can watch every episode on Hulu.com for free...
