Yeah my "10 times" was a bit over the top, but Arrested Development is better than any sitcom Britain has produced this decade. I've been rewatching AD recently and it makes me laugh just as much and there are still extra gags I pick up on every time.
I'd say he does, I like Curb but the amount of love for it baffles me a little. It's good, I think, but not great. Not Seinfeld great.
Curb Season 1-3 was fantastic, but it has lost its way a bit. Season 4 and 5 were very patchy, although last season picked up again and I'm very excited about the Seinfeld reunion for the upcoming season.
I wonder what brit sicoms from the last ten years could actually top that impressive trio? I'm not sure any could, though some shows, such as the brilliant Peep Show, would come close.
Peep Show would be up there and I suppose The Office, although that is no where near as good as people think it is. The Thick of It as well and Help. All great sitcoms but still not at the level of Arrested Development.
Although I'd say Peep Show and The Thick of It are better than 30 Rock.
