Arrested Development

Published on October 18, 2005 By jennybean In Movies & TV & Books

I'm sorry, but Fox's Arrested Development has got to be the funniest show I have ever seen. I cannot understand how when I ask friends if they caught the last episode they have never even heard of the show. How can people not be watching this? The show in a nutshell is about a family on the brink of falling apart trying to get their father (who is being investigated for treason and embezzlement) out of prison. Their father owns a construction company and is being accused of making illegal deals overseas. I think what makes this show so funny is that we are dealing with very serious issues, but nobody lets them stand in the way of making complete fools of themselves! Every single character on this show is hilarious and essential to painting a picture of a truely disfunctional family. The sytle of humor used is just so silly and ridiculous at times, you cannot stop yourself from laughing if you tried. Many times I have to "shh" my husband after a funny line just so I won't miss the next one. This is really a comical masterpiece and I strongly suggest you check it out.

For anyone who does currently watch the show, any favorite episodes? One of mine has got to be when Gob performs his magic show during "Girls with low self-esteem" week and blows up the yacht.

That show is amazing. I'm going out with my friend to buy the second season on DVD today. Every character they have had on the show has been funny. I especially loved Henry Winkler as the family lawyer. He was genius.

No kidding .. I try to tell my family and friends about how funny the show is, but to no avail. It amazing how every character on the show just fits. There's no weak spots. Gob is so hilarious, too.

Hundreds of funny lines

"Uncle Job, Has Aunt Lindsay ever been pregnant?"
"Sure plenty of times."

It's a show that rewards repeated viewings.
