Arrested Develpment

Has anyone seen this? Its the funniest sit com I've ever seen, and its also probably the smartest too. It has a really odd filming style, odd characters and a Ron Howard narration too.

If you haven't seen it yet, its on at 2330 BBC2 in the UK, and I believe channel 7 in Australia, Fox in america. I've ordered the DVD of series 1 for 16 quid off cd wow.com.

The only show for mwe that gets near it is Peep Show in oddness, but man itds just fantastic!

a friend and i watched season 1on dvd straight through over a holiday week last year, sensational stuff

it came on foxtel (pay tv in aus) and i never got a chance to watch it fully, so i have skipped it until i get it from the start to the end.

what i have seen has been good tho!

its been cancelled.

FOX decided they didnt want it no more and cut the series from 22 episodes to 13. also decided they dont want another series after the current

=(

fox kill all the good shows.

futurama being one

yep, futurama was my favourite show. the characters were so funny. not sure why they cancelled but it was always compared to the simpsons due to it being made by matt groening. i thought futurama was better than simpsons anyway

Its on sunday nights i think on bbc2. very good. really funny stuff.

FOX completly ruined futurama, they never gave it a decent time slot (they put it on at like 10pm kinda thing) and it never got the ratings they wanted cos all the kids were asleep. and then it got axed.

chanel 7 who had the rights to it here in australia kinda did the same, they gave it 7:30 timeslot on a friday night, but again alot of people go out or kids in bed kind of thing, so it didnt work and they bumpe it to like 10pm tuesday nights.

Zoidberg is the GREATEST character ever.

7:30 pm is a pretty good time slot neil, any day of the week!


I'm glad other people have seen it too, appartently its big in aus on this evidence :p


GOB is the best character! And Tobias is bloody hillarious, blue man group scenes are so funny :D

i dont think it is for a childrens/teenager's show on fridays... when it came on, i missed alot of episodes cos i was out and about.

I've been watching this, must admit, wasen't sure at first, but the fact I've been making time to watch it shows it's doing something right.

I think it's super funny, my roommate downloaded many episodes (he never catches it on TV) but it's a shame FOX keeps switching time slots... I'm sure they'll have some "reality show" come in though o_O

yea neil's right, any show goes to friday or saturday nights to die. Here in Aus, anyway!

Except Hey Hey It's Saturday...that survived 25 years on Saturday nights.

i am still sad the WB cancelled my favorate show

well hakkinenF1 it got stupid! i seen 95% of the angel episodes, and the ones i havent seen are from the latest season where he takes over that lawyer place.

@#$%& that.

i didn't see the last tow seasons,but i red spoiler and i know every thing
i gree the third season was not as near as good the seconde and first.
but Joss Whedon is a genuese,smart dialuges an expected events
there will never be a smart show as smart as Buffy and Angel.

What's the name of this topic again ?


(by the way I am being subtle at hinting he's very wrong )

BBC2 always had it after Match Of The Day, but it's still a bloody good show. I personally like Tobias. He tries so hard, yet fails so spectacularly! Anybody see the ones where he dressed up as an English nanny? LMAO!

Everyone knows that million-to-one chances happen 9 times out of 10; indeed, it's a common requirement in fairy tales. If the human didn't have to overcome huge odds, what would be the point? Terry Pratchett - The Science Of Discworld

GPGSL S5 Race driver for IED.

that was a brilliant bit of writing! Everyone knew it was him, but they liked the fact they didnt have to iron their own shirts, so let him be :D


The best bit was when Tobias was sent to look after the mother, so went ot her house (she was out) and was in his Blue Man Group paint, so she walked in, hit him with a broom, and blasted a rape alarm right in his face! It was even funnier cos the whole scene started with the mother telling Michael she had been attacked by a "coloured man" (cos he was blue) - the whole show is based on clever wordplay / missunderstandings.
