Pretty good show.....probably one of the funniest shows on TV right now. Hope it doesn't go the way of Greg the Bunny though.

I don't like many sitcoms. The only two I watch on a regular basis are Arrested Development and Scrubs. Arrested Development is the best show on television right now and one of the best sitcoms ever. There are several big belly laughs in every episode while most sitcoms are lucky if they have a couple of chuckles every other episode. The characters are all funny and unique.

Mainly, the only good sitcoms were those of the 70's and 80's.

Greg the Bunny was very good. Too bad it didn't last.

Arrested Development is currently the ONLY live-action comedy on TV that's actually funny. After this show, the best comedy is going into House, which is a drama, but a funny one. Simpsons and South Park are still hysterical too, and why they're not nominated in the Best Comedy category escapes me.

These shows are the replacement for Fraiser as comedies that don't insult the intelligence of the viewer. They play up to it. I don't know which "blink and you'll miss it" joke was better in the last episode:

The one about "We're absolutely not making fun of Andy Griffith" (the joke being that Ron Howard does the voiceover) or the one about having your picture made with Saddam Hussein is not always a career killer (followed by a two-second flash of a photo of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Hussein in 1982).

Arrested Development?

I thought that was a name of a RnB band in the 90's?

Love this show. Bought the first season on DVD, looking forward to the second. Unfortunately its move to Monday night will probably kill it. Oh well, I'll get my kicks while it lasts.

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!

I think Family Guy and American Dad are also very good, especially FG. The writing is outstanding.
