Arrested Development.
Oh come on, I can't be the only one here who watches it.

Well, actually, judging by the ratings, I probably am.

If you haven't checked it out yet, I implore you to do so. It's the funniest damn show ever conceived. Yes, I'm convinced this is more brilliant than The Simpsons was during it's Season 3 through Season 8 peak, but to fully "get it," you need to by the first season DVDs. The second season came out yesterday, and I practically guarantee after finishing with the first set, you'll run out and buy the second.

You won't be making a huge mistake.

1. Since no one else has responded . . .
let me say that I just love that show! It's innovative, hysterically funny, one of my very few must-sees.

I'm surprised (and grateful) that the Faux executives have kept it on the air this long, given its abysmal ratings. I've heard that the network powers-that-be personally enjoy it, which is why it's been spared the axe this long.

I agree with you, Borgnine, others should try it; they won't be disappointed.

2. It's the best show on television.

And, imo, will eventually become a classic.
It makes me just roar with laughter every week.

I, too, am amazed Fox has kept it this long. When I saw the first
episode I knew there was no way it was going to be a hit. I figured it would be gone in six episodes. (The Emmy's have kept it alive, no doubt. Much like with early Hill Street Blues).

3 years?? I'm in heaven!

3. I freakin' love this show...
The season 2 dvds have been in my player since I bought them. This show has the potential to be a legend, on par with The Simpsons and Seinfeld, perhaps even surpassing them in terms of changing the American sitcom...that is if MORE PEOPLE WOULD WATCH!
