ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT = GREATEST OF ALL-TIME?
 

it is afaik. the random/awkward comedy that is rapidly becoming mainstream was mastered in this series. by far the best character development i have seen in a tv series in a looong time. shame nobody watched it...

Re: ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT = GREATEST OF ALL-TIME?
 

I like The Shield, but if I had to pick what I think is the greatest show of all time, then its definitely Seinfeld.


Conspire

Re: ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT = GREATEST OF ALL-TIME?
 

Seinfeld is greater than any other sitcom and it isn't even close.

Re: ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT = GREATEST OF ALL-TIME?
 

If we define the greatest of all time as the show with the best worst episode then there is no question. The worst episode of AD is still hilarious. If it is adding up total humor then it is hard to beat The Simpsons. But I don't think I have ever laughed as hard as I have from TV as I have from AD, Curb your Enthusiasm is probably second. I know this is somewhat controversial but I think Seinfeld has aged terribly and may not be considered great in 20 more years. If AD is not considered brilliant in 20 years I don't think I want to live that long.

AD has a ton of timely jokes that will make no sense in 5 years, much less 20.

Seinfeld has not aged terribly imo, although things like the soup nazi are super lame. Curb has kind of made the first few seasons irrelevant but they were doing some awesome, wacky, arrested development style [censored] by the end of that show

AD was cancled becauase it is tv for people who don't watch tv. Lots of stars doing cameos and huge outdoor sets caused it to be over-budget, and not enough people who watch tv appreciate the quality of the humor. Reality TV FTL.

Re: ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT = GREATEST OF ALL-TIME?
 

Best Comedy show of all time.

AD is one of the funniest TV series of our time certainly. The Simpsons certainly hasn't aged well. It is completely outshone by shows like Family Guy and Futurama although it was a pioneer for them they just took it to a whole other more hillarious level esp Family Guy.

AD serisously had some of the best character development I have seen. Also, they never let a second pass without sticking in a small joke it was unrelenting. I think part of the reason it didn't do well was because a lot of the funnier [censored] that went on in later episodes related to earlier episodes.

Re: ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT = GREATEST OF ALL-TIME?
 

who cares which is best? simpsons and ad are very different.

All of the shows mentioned here are funny in different ways.

FG for instance is hilarious with the one liners, but changed nothing about TV or the way people think.

While South park, while not always as LOZL funny, is totally dead-on satire that is funnier when you aren't actually watching it, but seeing the situations they ridicule irl.

This thread needs to be moved to oot asap.
