Arrested Development

[Ginger]

Has anyone seen this show? We went and rented all three seasons. It took a couple of shows for us to get into the characters, but after that...man, is it funny! It can be very dark humor though, so if you don't like that kind of stuff you may not like it. It's basically a very dysfunctional family and it's done mockumentary style with narrating by Ron Howard.

There's lots of hidden jokes as well, sometimes you re-watch an episode and catch funny stuff you missed the first time!

Anyway, if you get a chance and you like that kind of thing, i'd definately recommend it. It has won many awards as well.

We absolutely loved it. AND of course, anything I really, really like, usually gets cancelled pretty quick....... It was a shame it didn't last longer.

I've currently really been enjoying "The Unit" so I can only assume it won't be back next year..

I thought the show was very clever. The characters were just fantastic.

Isn't that the way it works?

My kids are always cracking the A.D. jokes now....today after Jorden finished his chores he comes into the kitchen and says, "Mother! I'm going to Army now." and heads up to play Call of Duty.

Kelsey walks around calling her Dad a "never-nude"

I thought the best scenes always seemed to involve the banana stand.

It's soooo sad....Stew and I TRULY loved that show...these days we don't even watch tv....we used to "stay home" (tivo or whatever) for Six Feet Under, Lost, and Arrested Development!
The show was quick, cute, and brilliantly funny...of COURSE it's gone!

This show is the best! My oldest son got me hooked on it and then he bought all the seasons....so I've watched them all now. It was one of the best shows on TV, in my opinion, and of course, they cancel that but leave on losers like Kid Nation and The Bachelor!!! Yuck!!

I totally agree! I've heard they are still in talks about a movie.

I just loved George Micheal, what a good little actor that guy is! And we have all now adopted GOB's chicken dance in our family when someone is being a 'chicken'... COCKA COCKA COCKA COCKA!!!
