This is the funniest show on TV. Did anyone catch the name of the boat that Gob bought in last night's episode? Too funny...
 
I should watch it. People say it's funny, they win Emmy's and what not but for some reason, nobody I know watches it.
 
"Solid as a rock..."

I started watching it recently, it is a pretty damn funny show. There are some shades of Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm in both its abundance of amorality and that it helps to watch several episodes in a row so you can get the recurring jokes.
 
I have always wanted to watch it, but I don't watch much TV, so I have never gotten around to it. Scrubs, PTI and Mythbusters are the only shows I TiVo. My wife seems to record pretty much anything that is on TV though...
 
I started watching it near the end of the last seasons, and its one of my favorite shows now. Ill have to buy the DVD box set to catch up with the early episodes.
 
It's the only show on t.v. that's actually made me laugh out loud since Seinfeld...Then again, I'm a callous shell of a human that lacks any emotion.

Very funny show[/quote]

yeah - it's great isn't it? My wife actually had to point that one out to me...
 
I try to watch it, I find it amusing, and there are random amounts of laugh out loud funnyness, but I prefer Scrubs and Late Night with Conan O'Brien to Arrested Development.
 
I'll be watching it soon I hope, I've been wanting to see it for a while, but I don't like watching new episodes before seeing older ones, even if you don't have to.
 
i started watching it when it first premiered just because david cross was in it, and it ended up being one of the best shows on tv (and probably the best one on network television).

i was able to see the season premiere, but missed yesterday's episode, which is unfortunate.

my favorite episode is the one where michael gets taught a lesson about teaching lessons to his son. well, that and the one where the whole "nevernude" concept is introduced.
 
Great show, I love the whole Blue Man Group-thing that Tobias tries to imitate. He spies on his wife while he's all painted up, gotta love it. One of the greatest shows on TV today.

:lol: That is a pretty good episode. I think it was one of the first ones I saw.
 
The teaching lesson episode was the first one I ever watched and I agree, it was the best. I laughed outloud quite a few times watching that one. Great show that nobody has really caught on to yet.
 
Yea, I really love this show. I was a bit worried that they may "dumb it down" for this new season to get more viewers, but I'm glad they didn't. I think it's hysterical.

And on a side note: I need to post more. Long time viewer, not much of a poster.
 
loved the punisher cameo last night(thomas jane)

great show and the blonde is sooo yummy
id prob throw a bang to her daughter also
 
Yeah, the lesson episode rules my pants. I never thought I'd see that kind of humor on network tv. I think the kid who plays George Michael is incredible. With all the insanity on that show, he's really managed to make that character stand out as one of the most interesting and entertaining. I've been pulling for him, hoping that one day he'll finally get to bang his cousin!! Unless the thing with Egg...er, Ann, goes somewhere...
 
I try and try to like anything with David Cross in it because I think he's hilarious, but this show IMO is horrible and incredibly unfunny... It's like Greg the Bunny. It's got a great cast, but does it work? Answer: no.

I dont get it.[/quote]

Well, the set-up was that Gob wanted to bang this girl but the only way she would give him her phone number was if he bought the boat she was selling (she was the model at a boat show or something). He ended up buying it, of course... anyway - Seaward = C-word = see you next tuesday...

Wow, I so did not get that. One of my least favorite words, though, which could explain why.
 
Damn Fox and the NFL!!! I haven't been able to catch the last 2 shows because it got pushed back by football games running into overtime. :evil:

Duh, just remembered, I can get them from bittorrent (and without the stupid commercials). :wink:
 
yea, it is a great show. One of my favorite things of all time in any episode is when Tobias is auditioning for a "fire sale" commercial......just genius.....
 
I just finished watching the first season on DVD. fucking incredible show. I also was interested because I like David Cross, but the whole cast is great.

Haven't seen any of the 2nd season though.
 
[quote name='hutno']Its the funniest show that nobody watches[/quote]

Exactly. The critics just love this show, but I don't think anyone cares about it. I personally don't know anyone that watchs it.
 
I really love this show, but I think its humor is far too absurd and layered for most people to find funny. I'm trying not to make that sound like an elitist putdown on the general public, but a lot of people I come across only laugh at stuff like American Pie and Scary Movie.
 
I just watched the first 2 episodes, and I think the show is amazing, probably the funniest show I've ever seen, I'm going to be addicted to this, thank god I have the whole first season.

Desperate housewives[/quote]

I watched an episode of that and didn't really like it, it was moderately funny but nowhere near Arrested Development.

Have you ever figured out why that is? I see people laugh all the time at regular sitcoms or movies like you mentioned. I guess it would be nice to be able to laugh that easily, but it is much much harder for me.

It's about time we had a worthy successor to Sports Night (which used to be the funniest show nobody watched. Actually TV Guide called it "The Best Show You're Not Watching", but I paraphrased to fit it in).

Sports Night was awesome, I just finished watching my DVDs a couple days ago. Started on Arrested Development about an hour ago.

Odd, I always thought Sports Night was insanely boring. Then again people say the same thing about the Office, and I love that show. Go figure.

BLASPHEMY! Sports Night is my favorite non-animated show of all time. I tried watching West Wing a couple times but it just wasn't as good.

Oh yeah, finished disc one of AD, I'll watch disc two tomorrow.

The real question is what season of The West Wing were you trying to watch. If it's anything that isn't in the first two, maybe three, seasons, it isn't as good. The first two seasons are briliant, then it starts going downhill.
