If you are past year 6 and thus graduate from the 2 and a half men thread, how bloody good is this show! Easily the best live action sitcom since Seinfeld, probably even better than Seinfeld. Just a brilliant well written show

It's so layered. There are jokes in earlier episodes that you only understand properly after watching later episodes.

It's one of, if not the best comedy series of all time.

Best show in history, including Seinfeld, which is a big call, but in only 2 and a half seasons really so much quality was packed in, it was amazing. I cant wait for the movie.

I haven't seen all this show has to offer. Should buy the DVDs some time. In the short amount, all I know is that it is a bloody top show.

I remember watching one episode randomly once and thinking oh this show isnt much.

Watched it in order in a few big sittings, couldnt believe how good it was.

It's nothing like them.

Give it another go and watch it from the start, I think it's one of the smartest comedies ever.

Oh my god. :crazy: That is possibly the worst description of anything I have ever heard. What you said is no where near anything remotely resembling AD. Are you kidding?

Completely different. From a very simple starting point;AD is actually funny.

Watch it in order and the sheer brilliance of the show will become apparent.

Give it a go mate and you'll enjoy it. Like Red Bear said, if you give it a good sitting you'll come out a fan.

Ive never actually gotten around to watching it.

Based on the fact that my favourite tv shows of all-time are Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Office (British version of course) does it stand to reason that i would absolutely love Arrested Development?

But i'll definately give it a go. Although i find it hard to believe it will be as good as the above shows, especially Seinfeld and the UK Office - which are the most perfect shows ever created.

I love Seinfeld, Never watched the office bar the christmas specials and Curb your enthusiasm is ok.

Arrested development trumps them, the amount of jokes you pick up on watching them again is amazing.
