i've been watching arrested development on hulu.com and for the life of me i can't understand:

1. how i missed this show
2. how it got cancelled

here's a great quote from the episode i'm currently watching:

"you just won the gold medal at the sexual special olympics!"

2. No laugh track, so people didn't know when they were supposed to be laughing. That is frustrating.

you answered your own question... "how i missed this show"

whenever I got people into the show they loved it, however too many people were unaware.

Somewhere out there is a seal with just one flipper, swimming in a circle...freaking out his whole family.

"O-kay, who'd like a banger in the mouth?"
...
"Right, I forgot, here in the States, you call it a *sausage* in the mouth."
"We just call it a sausage."

Just started re-watching the DVDs for the third time. Easily one of the top 5 funniest shows in the history of television.

"Wow look at him riding that hog behind us!"

*Turns to Anne and his son in the back of the car*

Gob FTW :p.

I think some may not have watched it simply because it may've came off as weird. I mean you have tons of strange ideas floating around in the show like Buster's mama's boy/Oedipus complex, George Michael's "obsession" with his cousin and just other odd things that spring up in almost every episode.

I would rate this in my TOP 1 show. Too bad they won't pull a Family Guy on it.

That's stupid. There's so many subtle little things to notice if you watch it over and over that it's incredible.

Not to mention that it's supposed to feel like a reality show.

Nah, it actually wasn't that funny. Hell, it still isn't that funny. It won't be that funny in a year from now either.
