Arrested Development
« on: May 19, 2010, 11:17:17 PM »
Simply put, easily the best sitcom of the last decade and my favorite of all time. Any other fans here?
I was reading an amazing topic on it's IMDB page about coming up with AD related band names. Hours of fun ;D

So let's discuss.

One of the most well written/executed comedic sit comes. If not the best.

I think fans of the Office would like a word with you

Hey, I love The Office too. Don't get me wrong. But AD hits more home because of the dysfunctional family element. Although I just started my first Office job, so perhaps that will come more into play.

Next to Twin Peaks and Freaks and Geeks, I think I've watched this show in its entirety more then any other.
I just re-watched it all with a friend and was struck at how amazing it is that it actually gets funnier every time.
I really hope they can get the movie planned and on track before everyone gets too old.

This!

I'm on an Arrested development binge at the moment. It absolutely gets funnier every time you watch it.
"Once he had forests and mountains that were only his - listening to him. Once he would run through the summer days catching memories for ages to come. Now he is dressing this naked floor with his flesh and blood, and time passes by. His trade of pain might just have lead him to deal with consequence for some change as time passes by"

THE show of the decade, and proof that the people making decisions at Fox are infact headless chickens because they clearly lack brains of any sort.

This is funny because it's my second-favourite sitcom of all time and I barely ever watch it anymore! It got pulled off Global some time ago.

George Michael: "Hey, has Aunt Lindsay ever been pregnant besides Maeby?"
Gob, nonchalantly as he passes by: "Oh yeah, plenty of times."

That and the dead bird in the freezer crack me up just thinking about it. :lol :lol

Just to clarify it is G.O.B. (George Oscar Bluth) which is a running gag when people pronounce it phontetically as Gob ;D

My most recent favorite joke is Gob's delivery of the line "Then maybe I should be getting a family discount, too" followed by the most awesome "oh my God" self-disgust face in all of history (this is in reference to a prostitute who he just found out may be his sister) :lol

So I decided my AR band name would be "Lucille 2".

I'm a few episodes into the third season (Netflix FTW), and I don't want it to end.  :(
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?
