LOVE IT!

We loved this show, but unfortunately it is canceled. We do enjoy watching the DVD's over and over again! December 27, 2008

Too good for TV...

Truly the funniest thing to come out of television since "The Simpsons". The writing, the cast, the premise- all inordinately great. There is not a weak episode in the bunch, and for being the first season of a television series, this is particularly noteworthy. This is the kind of show you catch someone else watching and wonder how you could ever have missed it. Really, very awesome. December 20, 2008

Tedious and Overhyped

First off, let me start of by that ANYTHING with ron howard's involment is ment for average-to below average white people, who fancy themselves as being cultured or deeper than they really are. With that being said, I am not suprised that Arrested Development is a show that only hipster doofuses seem to enjoy.

To be fair, it's not the worst thing I've ever scene (family guy wins that distinction), but it is very boring, very lame and above all else, it's tedious. All the family memebers are so over the top, that they get annoying too quickly. The narration is really nasaly and annoying, the flashbacks occur way too frequently and really don't add to the hilarity--- for any situation.

I know there are many Arrested Development apologists who think that this is greatest thing ever, and if you don't like the show, you simply "don't get it". Oh, I got it okay. What is there not to get? It's a family of douchebags who have no redeeming qualities... BUT they're like totally quirky and they're running gags and stuff and blah, blah, blah. It just sounds like a piss-poor rip off of the royal tennenbaums to me.

Spend your money on 30 Rock, don't let the hipsters win!
...If you feel compelled to watch this show, my response would be "don't". But if you really must, then rent it first. December 9, 2008

So funny

We love this show. I had never watched the show when they previously were on tv. Lots of dry humor, very funny October 21, 2008

Amazingly Brilliant...

One of the funniest series I've ever watched. They linked everything together beautifully, you'll be watching the 2nd season and laugh at a one liner that they tied in from the first season. A Must buy. September 22, 2008
