Arrested Development(AMAZING writing with all of the continuing jokes and references to old episodes, and all the puns)

This has gotten a ton of votes but I wish there was some sort of season or episode minimum for shows to qualify. It lasted what, 2-3 seasons (love the show but still forget this detail)? It's the comedies like Cheers and Seinfeld that are still at least pretty good 6-7+ seasons in that should be given more credit.
Longevity is hard in TV and particularly with comedies - their level of funny is often like the career arc of an NFL running back. Fast out of the gates, slows down after a few years, and then the last two he's getting $10M/year just based off of his name. Friends is a very good example of this.
