Recently bought & rewatched S3. Splendid stuff, shame it didn't last. They should've got three full seasons, not one full and two stump ones. Gah.
I thought the Wee Britain stuff was hilarious though got pretty old pretty fast.
It's weird watching this show now because basically every American show I follow now has taken some part of Arrested Development and made it work for them; be it repeated jokes or punchline density or characters or the way it's shot or whatever.
But none of them, even when brilliant, quite manage the spirit AD captured.
Hurrah! My favourite American sitcom ever! Its brittle, unsentimental and unruly -the best the Americans have ever done - in my opinion - and close to my favourite Brit-com "Ab Fab" in the humour stakes!
