I've become addicted to arrested development
I rented season three and keep watching it over and over.. it's fucking hilarious. I have no idea why it didn't last on TV.

2. If you can afford it, buying the entire series is well wroth the investment.
I love AD and have marathons of my own from time to time. There are things that are said and that happen that I didn't even pick-up on in my first or even second viewing.

I didn't last because smart and funny shows are not popular nowadays.

11. I've watched the first season at least 10 different times
And I still get/see new jokes everytime I watch it.

They wrote the hell out of that show.

6. Brilliant show
In the extras the guy who played Tobias went into a great rant about the absurdity of a show that had huge critical success and tons of awards and nominations not surviving on television.

So much better than almost anything else out there.

12. I watch it over and over too,

13. It relies a little too heavily on inside jokes.
It's a series that, unless you're devoted to watching every episode in sequence, you won't get a lot of it. It's too hard for people to jump into the middle of the season and enjoy. Plus, of course, it's way too smart for people to understand.
