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.
