One of my favourite shows of all time. I think I've rewatched the entire series about 4 times now.

Then you have no soul. Perhaps we could interest you in hilarious comedies such as "Two and a Half Men" and "According to Jim".

I don't know. You guys said AD was funny and it wasn't, so I don't know if I can trust you in saying that those are funny as well.

No, no, it's only funny if you have a soul. Maybe you can buy one from somebody and watch it again?

No wonder you didn't like AD

I wonder if those movie rumours will turn out to be true.

I was literally crying when the Japanese men came to the demo house and George Michael was flying the jet pack into their prop town outside and then Tobias comes out in the mole costume. Best scene in the entire series.

My favorite is when Tobias was getting dressed everyday in blue, just in case The Blue Man Group called him. :p

Speaking of Tobias... you have to love the episode where Michael tells him he ought to buy a tape recorder and listen to what he says. "Well... now that's just taken out of context!"

But when it comes to Arrested Development ( which I know we've had this topic a million times :eek: ), I didn't really like it at first, but I kept watching it and I don't know if the show changed a bit or I just kind of grew accustomed to it, but I ended up liking it. It's a great comedy that's a bit different than the usual affair.

Tobias is a great character for sure!
I love how the jokes are so layered, you don't find that too often.

Sorry. I said "hilarious" but I meant "dim-witted, poorly written, typical prime time comedies that are just recycled versions of other shows with no ingenuity and plot lines that many other shows have used before"
