i've spent the past 20 minutes watching clips from the show's website: http://www.fox.com/arresteddev/this is the best thing on tv right now... but i'm also pretty excited for the new 'curb' season and 'extras.'anyone else recognize the brilliance here?

big cosign!! only Family Guy gives this show a run-for-the-money as funniest show on tv. How can you go wrong with characters named: Gob, Tobias Funke, George Michael, Maybe and Lucille II?!?
Dude, this is so irrelevant. But yeah.
cosign. but im eagerly awaiting that chris rock show.
Season 3 Premere, tonight 8PM etc etc[/b]
I will be watching.
i'll be very surprised if 'everybody hates chris' turns out halfway decent. IMO, it looks like typical sitcom trash... kind of like the new michael rappaport show 'the war at home' which i forced myself to sit through last night.
chris rock is good for unrated (ie non-awards show) stand-up and that's about it.
Yes, I guess to her we are irrelevant. She was in Sirens w/ Elle McPherson
Every trailer I've seen for War At Home has been creepy.
Arrested Development
favorites?
they're all my favourites! this show makes me cry i laugh so hard. the last few episodes of the season with Franklin, MotherBoy and Mrs.Featherbottom (Mrs. Fingerbottom from Blackstool!!) were amazing. It's like the best-written, -directed, -acted and -edited thing around. Like an up-dated Soap - hand-puppet and all!
it was really good eh? better than a sitcom, but not quite a drama series...funny and dark and kinda dirty.
then Katherine Helmond had to go and be on one of the worst shows ever - Who's the Boss. jeez.
tonights ep was way better than most of last season.

i like entourage (when it's not a Saigon promotional vehicle), but if you think that's fucking with arrested you need to get your head checked.
simpsons and curb your enthusiasm holding shit down for a while.
this was before di rossi was 'out' + she looked like she wanted to stomp the shit outta wendy.
Not to derail this cause I think Arrested Development is one of the best shows on TV, but does anyone remember that episode of Soap where Richard Mulligan got abducted/probed by aliens? For some reason that's the first thing I think of when when I'm reminded of that show.
Didn't he get replaced with an alien double or something?
That was a good show.
dave - in all fairness the show relies on a lot of running and inside jokes and as such i can see how somebody would jump in for an episode or two and not feel it immediately. (i suspect this is part of the reason it's been so commercially uncessful despite heavy promotion and critical acclaim)
Id say the only show thats better than it is the wire. WHen that starts up again, its gonna be raw!!!
Portia De Rossi is rediculously hot.
I just about lost it when Mrs. Featherbottom jumped onto the living room table.
freudian?
weeds is catching up tho, the last ep was real funny.
