Arrested Development is the greatest show of recent years

[MonkeyFunk]

We'd only watched a few episodes when it was on originally, and liked it a lot, but missed a few, then just stopped watching it.

Now we're watching them all in syndication, and wow! More jokes per minute than any show I can remember - and the type of humor is all over the map. Broad slapstick, fine satire, everything.

I can't wait for the movie next year.

1. It was pretty good but didn't catch on.

2. No, it didn't

it requires a level of concentration that most shows don't require. But the jokes are fast and furious, and you can miss a lot of them if you're not watching carefully.

3. Yes, you have to pay attention to get the jokes

4. Thats because shows have to be written

for the lowest common denominator half the time for them to catch on.

5. Big yellow joint... the big yellow joint...
