This is one of the worst show I've ever seen.
The only reason the so called "critics" give it a good review is that it is a Ron Howard production, and they are naturally kissing his butt! |

I beg to differ.
"Arrested Development" is arguably the best comedy on TV right now. |

I am also going to agree. This show is hilarious. It's not quite as 'on-the-nose' funny' as the regular sitcom but it is very funny. The writing is absolutely stellar.

Come on, this show deserves a lot more credit. Well, in my opinion. Ron Howard's involvement does not mean they're "kissing his ass." And if this is the worst show you've ever seen... you really need to watch more tv.

I think you either get the show or you don't. There's really no middle ground. I don't get it. At all. But, others seem to and I'm happy to see Ron Howard succeed at this and the actors all seem really into their roles. I kind of wish I got it.

There's a show in Australia called 'Kath and Kim' that I think has the same kind of reputation as 'Arrested Development'. I've seen it and I absolutely hate it, but it's very popular. TV comedy is very subjective.

I like it because it's different and weird. I don't find it funny though.

You either love it, or hate it, I think.

I totally agree, i love it, but my folks say "how is that funny", its the same sort of humor as Curb Your Enthusiasm.. They are both fantastic series. PS: [I]I love Kath and Kim, from what ive seen of it, its actually becomming really popular over here in England. |

AD is an amazing show, I don't know how anyone can talk trash about it. I could see maybe if someone liked a similar show better, but there are no similar shows. I think Fox has got to know this and will keep it around.
