Funniest under appreciated television show ever in America? I think so. Buster, Gob, and Tobias are some of the best characters ever, too.

Michael: So, this is the magic trick, huh?
Gob: Illusion, Michael. A trick is something a whore does for money.

i'd like to watch the show. my sister recently got through it on netflix and loved it; and we usually have similar taste. i wish it was play instantly, though, as i only have one disc at a time plan and it could hold up my movie queue. but one of these days i'll get to it.

I think most of the episodes are still up on hulu. I started watching the seasons on there, but I ended up just buying them even before I saw the whole series because I knew I liked the show.

i figured they might be on the computer. i just can't stand watching things on the computer!

allie, i know i haven't been on here in ages, but in the time i've been away, i've seen almost all of arrested development (about half way through the final season now). it is AMAZING. so clever & funny!!

I'm so glad to see you back here, Jenna!

And I knew you would love the show! I don't know anybody who really doesn't like it. What's your favorite characters/episodes?

I have to chime in on this thread... OMG... I soooooooooooooooo love this show and can watch each episode again and again and again... good stuff! It's very difficult to pick a fave, but I loved it when Michael Bluth burns down the banana stand! I'm hard pressed to pick a fave character tho. They're ALL GREAT!!!

yes, very unique and perfectly cast...but i am hard pressed to pick a favorite as well, as it's such a great ensemble.

same thing with picking a favorite episode-- too many funny moments, e.g. "we're here for motherboy"

and i've got a crush on jason bateman.

My favorite episode is Amigos!, which is the one where they leave Ann in Mexico and Buster believes that he is in Mexico but he's really at Lupe's house.

However, the episode that got me hooked on the show was Bringing Up Buster.

I forgot to mention - Annyong is my favorite secondary character.
