Oh well, you an Arrested Development fan, Professor?

I catch on reruns when I can. I always enjoy it when I do watch, but for some reason its never made it on my "must see" list. Odd, because I do recognize its genius, but I guess its never really pulled me in.

Arrested Development is a show that you really should watch from the first episode to the last without skipping anything between. There are so many references to past and future jokes that you can easily miss something. I didn't get pulled into the show until 3 or 4 episodes into the first season, but the show is addicting. I don't know if it is a "must see" but I think it's some of the best comedy since Futurama ended.

It's easy to complain about the shows cancellation, but maybe FOX immortalized Arrested Development by canceling it so early. Most shows start to suck after just a few seasons.

Anyway...sorry to hijack this topic, but whenever I hear the final countdown I think of Gob.

Same here, and I'd agree with everything else you said. I've rewatched the entire series from the beginning just to catch all of the jokes and references that I missed the first time. It's pretty damn brilliant. If it isn't a "must-see" then I don't know what is. It just might be my favorite TV show of all time. Season 3 wasn't as good as it could have been but with all the episodes being cut and the show canceled, it didn't really give the writers much of a chance.
