Arrested Development

andrew_bryson_6718 shared a tip "Yea especially the first 3 seasons. The show is genius and way ahead of its time. Lots of hilarious one line liners and running jokes"

mordou shared a tip "seasons 4 and 5 are no where near as good as the first 3 seasons. the first 3 seasons make up one of the funniest shows ive ever seen"

kyle_dunnigan shared a tip "Arguably the best comedy ever. The writing is one of the best ever. Jokes that come back time and again as well as puns and Easter eggs in every episode that just make it funnier. Oh and not to mention Ron Howard narrating it completes the show."

kyle_dutson shared a tip "I loved this show! I can’t think of anything on Netflix right now but I just got through watching “Chuck” on Amazon Prime. Sooooo good"

s_philip shared a tip "Three brilliant seasons, followed by some mediocre ones on Netflix. In this case, if you've only ever seen the first three seasons (or you've never watched it before), go ahead and treat the original season 3 ending as the series finale. By the time they revived it the show just didn't have anything worthwhile to say, and there's so many other shows more worth your time than seasons 4 and 5."

michael_glading shared a tip "A comedy that rewards you with extra jokes for paying close attention. Also, there's so many kinds of jokes in there that everyone should find something to laugh about. The Netflix seasons pale quite a bit in comparison to the original run, though. I think there were scheduling conflicts that forced the writers to split up characters' storylines, and also that the writers lost their sense of the characters somewhat while the show was off the air."

ahomelibrary shared a tip "A very funny, smart and witty “mockumentary” style show. Excellent acting. Such a great show to binge watch for a pick me up. Characters are hilarious, especially Gob. #binge_worthy #mockumentary #comedy"

malcolm_morrow shared a tip "I say yes, I was watching the original run on Fox back in middle school and loved it lol. I haven't watched the Netflix produced seasons."

harley_toxxicpill shared a tip "Personally i think so! The show is so goofy it doesn't feel like you're trudging through anything! The show is genuinely very enjoyable and something I love to put on when I'm not feeling great or bored Content warning just in case: contains some transphobic jokes"

tyler_martin_540 shared a tip "I'm a huge buster fan,I liked the scene where he was sleeping in the car because his snoring was to loud and didn't want to wake his mom up,but put a recording of his snoring in the bed so she wouldn't realize he wasn't there."

tristan_scott_5904 shared a tip "It’s okay. Jokes aren’t too funny but decent plot. Easiest show ever to watch and know exactly what’s happening. Even if you are doing a lot."

jaiden_1642 shared a tip "Ok first season picks up in second and third season fourth season was a mess and hard to get through but saves itself in the fifth"

maryann_bodurka shared a tip "By far my most favorite overlooked go to series. I can watch it again and again and find something new to crack up about. And if you’re lucky enough to know someone else on a recent binge too, you can happily joke about money in banana stands and vodka rocks, with a side of toast for breakfast. If non subtle subtly is your gig, Watch it. Just watch it. Now."

cg_7325 shared a tip "I watched this after it's original broadcasting. I found the show enjoyable, but the newer episodes produced by Netflix years after the show stopped airing don't have the same charm. I tried to give them a chance but stopped about two episodes in. To be honest, while it was apparently canceled, the showrunners at the time did a good job of wrapping things up. I'm no proper story analyst, but to me Michael was primarily characterized as essentially a good person. His main flaw ties to his devotion to family. Normally that would be admirable, but it is at the expense of himself and most importantly his son. The Bluths are a seriously dysfunctional family, and frequently fight/refuse efforts on Michael's part to help their company and family situation. Michael works hard and is willing to sacrifice for better things. However this results in him neglecting his son while being used and played with by his family. He spends three years pulling hair to fix things with one fiasco after another, but still enables them to varying degrees. He trys to stand up and draw the line, but consistently falls short. It is an extremely gratifying character moment when he finally says enough is enough. He leaves to spend more time with his son and to finally let his family just experience the consequences of their actions. Having the new episodes make him willingly reenter that unhealthy dynamic cheapens this. Making him start to act self centered and amoral like his family breaks my investment up to that point. I can't personally speak for more past that. I've heard there were scheduling issues with getting the main cast all at once and that there were departures from the original style/format. I don't want to be the person who says something like, "Anything past season 3 doesn't exist." I generally go for trying the full experience of a series, but currently for me the satisfying narrative ends at the final episode of season 3."

Full_Metal_Bassist shared a tip "Thats a hard question 1 has a lot of set up and thats why 2 and 3 are so good, gun to my head id probably say 2 but its one of those shows that never really has a huge dip in quality"

holly_7998 shared a tip "Never got into the newer seasons they put out but the earlier ones are ridiculous! Kinda reminds me of Seinfeld where the most mundane things somehow connecting by the end of the episode!"

crusty_carb shared a tip "Super funny. I could pop these on at any moment, just to run in the background instead of news. Some can do that with Seinfeld, but i prefer this. Such dry humor, love it! #georgemichael #heyhermano #cacacaw"

melissa_craver shared a tip "Arrested Development (at least seasons 1-3) is perfection and I’ve watched it all the way through too many times to count. The Bluths may be dysfunctional but they are my favorite family!"

explodingtardis10 shared a tip "I quote this show at least once a day. You can rewatch the episodes countless times and still laugh hysterically. The cast is amazing to where you don't have a favorite character. A truly dysfunctional family that Michael Bluth has to bring together again. There are so many good pop culture references and just beautifully stupid moments. Seasons 1-3, the original run, is worth watching immediately. My Most Used Quotes: "Gene!" "You're baiting the balcony?" "Army had half day." "Look at how he zips now." "Hey brother." "I just blue myself." "Does this scream leather daddy to you?" "Who the f*** ate my hardboiled eggs?" "Illusions, Michael. Tricks are what whores do for money." "Taste the happy.""

corrina_holt shared a tip "It's hard to find anything new right now but I did really like some older ones I watched recently...Schitts Creek and The Unbreakable Kimmy Scmidt."

devyldogg shared a tip "@lauragarcia1 Absolutely loved it! Never watched the last season or two that Netflix rebooted though. All the other seasons are just fantastic."

david_inge shared a tip "That's hard for me to say. I jump back and forth and my taste changes by the hour. I'm fond of anything from Breaking Bad to Schmigadoon. 🤷🏻‍♂️"

inami_b. shared a tip "If you like mockumentaries like The Office or Parcs and Recs and family sitcoms, definitely. I think the latest seasons aren’t as good but the first 3 are great"

mercedes_gasser shared a tip "Yes! It's a really unique comedy. Jokes come at you like water from a fire hose, and the long term set up and payoff for jokes and bits is insane! I will say that it's a lot less grounded than other comedies because it's about a super rich family (kinda) and the characters are all a bit insane, so it's not like the office or parks and rec where you can relate to them. It's more like when you see a clip of the Kardashians lol, but it's great!!"

mia_bones shared a tip "Definitely thought it was out there. The humor doesn't really remind me of a show I have fully watched before so it feels really unique."
