I knocked out Season 3 this weekend. What a great, great, great, great show.

I have never laugh out loud at any show like this one. Great, great writing, great performances.

I was describing it as 22 minutes of concentrated humor. It is almost too much.

AD IS FREE ONLINE!

Arrested Development was, in many ways, the comedy equivalent of Lost. Those who watched the show from the beginning found themselves hungrily coming back for each episode, and those who came into it too late gave up because it was impossible to know what the hell was going on with the multiple and intertwining storylines.

If you miss the Bluths, or you want to know what all the fuss was about, MSN is showing full episodes of the series for free. That's right, this isn't some illegal copyright-infringing YouTube nonsense at the risk of being taken down, this is honest to goodness Arrested Development served up just for you. Today you can watch the first five episodes, and starting December 15, three new episodes will be added every three weeks until the entire series run has been shown.

The new video player will also allow viewers to return to a specific point in the episode if there's an interruption. Apparently some people need this function. Myself, I unplug my phone, close the blinds and rivet my door closed when I watch Arrested Development to avoid all interruptions, but you know, whatever. Oh yeah, and you can also send your favorite clips to your friends. As if I don't spend enough time on the computer already.

I watch it every night on G4 (direcTV channel 354) at 10:30 pm central......best show ever.......it's the only show which I'd skip a Seinfeld re-run......I never thought I'd say it, but it's funnier than Seinfeld, Cheers and The Office.....first 2 seasons were the best......Christmas Day they ran the entire first season from 7am-6:30pm.....

I watched a stretch of episodes on G4 this weekend. I take back every bad thing I ever said about this show. And I agree with it being funnier than the office

I just finished acquiring copies of S1 and S3 and look forward to rewatching the whole series.

"Final Countdown" by Europe came on the radio the otherday, and with a fourish I pulled a quarter out of my wife's ear.

Wife: What are you doing?
Me: Magic.
Wife: Why are you dancing around like that?
Me: I'm doing JOB. You know, like when he was preforming during Spring Break and wanted to make the yacht disappear by blowing it up? And Kitty was on it? And they thought he killed her?
Wife: Who's kitty?
Me (flashing my chest at her) : "It's the last time you'll get to see these!!"
Wife: What are you doing?
Me: :|

She's seen all of them, but she just doesn't retain useless crap like we do. It's her fatal flaw, IMO. She's pop-culturally challenged.

Noted.

Check this out from Wikipedia;

"The casting for the role of GOB came down between two actors in the end — Will Arnett and Rainn Wilson (now appearing on the American version of The Office). Ultimately, the part went to Arnett."

Someone named Pariah once told me the show gets better after the first season. Now I see the light, he was right.

That's about the only thing that assclown was right about.

Don't make me angry Mr. abomb. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Strange...maybe that's why you are sneaking off with my wife.

She retains about 20 percent of the useless trivia/quotes.
