I'm stoked, AD is my favorite show. I've been re-watching the original 3 season the last couple of days.

freaks and geeks


also spinoza, you list workaholics as one of your funniest shows, which is a hit or miss show at best. also, never found trailer park boys that funny. and whoever listed blue mountain state as funny has the sense of humor of a 16 year old

Go watch Trailer Park Boys from the beginning. It's outrageous. So funny.
Workaholics is awesome as a show but also hilarious.
BMS is an amazing show, still super funny at times but Not the funniest around

I think tpb is the type of show you need to take time to get into. It takes time to learn the characters and the style of the stories before you really appreciate how great it is

This completely, It's a show where you fall in love with the characters without a doubt. Some scenes with Julian and him holding his drink like in prison just make me burst into laughter. Trailer Park Boys definitely takes a little bit to fall in love with but overall it's hilarious. On topic though I can't wait for Arrested Development, rewatching it for the fifth time this week!

I originally wasn't into TPB based on the pilot. But it's definitely one of the best shows.

The glory of it is that individual episodes have their plotlines, but everything is still a part of the major season-long plot. (the hash driveway, the growing op, the swayze express, etc.) And inevitably everything always fails in the most absurd way.


Arrested Development is kind of the same. Each episode contributes to a fantastic long plotline.

personally I find humor in every episode of the office, which is most likely because it is my favorite show of all time. a lot of new shows are incredibly hit or miss, they'll have their one good season and then be done


and yeah i will start watching TPB again, can't hurt

i enjoyed the past two seasons because they got to develop more characters, like daryl and such

some episodes were not as good as others, but they still kept that classic office humor

to each their own i guess

I watched the CBC reruns like, a year after it first came out. And I would say that AD, Freeks and Geaks, and Trailer Park Boys are blowing up because of Netflix, beautiful thing that it is.

is also extremely witty and the absurdity of literally every situation? classic. Best show ever? maybe. needs more episodes? yes.

The Office should be viewed as 2 separate shows. Season 1-4 are so amazing, one of the best shows ever. Post season 4 is mediocre but still entertaining. I'm about 2 seasons behind, one day I'll finish it

Are you kidding? This show is filled with comic genius and smart jokes, sometimes. It's all about preference I guess but I'd definitely rate AD over South Park and I love South Park.

watched a bunch of AD. i don't get it. i hate the characters and it bores the fuck out of me. sunny is alright. i like breaking bad but it's starting to get old. freaks and geeks is ok. saw the trailer park boys movie and didn't think it was funny.

community is fucking awesome though and i love american dad. family guy and south park are great too. i also like the league a lot.

Agreed. I'm so glad that these shows have a cult following or else there would never be a "new" season of AD.

I've just started watching the series this week. Watched season 1 during the week, and all of season 2 today.

I feel accomplished

Some pretty solid guest appearances. Not a bad first episode, hard to live up to season three, but did a pretty good job.

Yeah, and Trailer Park Boys? C'mon, I love it but stands nowhere near AD, probably one of the most clever comedies ever, read this article, it's pretty crazy.

It had it's moments, but it was just a set-up for the Movie, which I guess we can all hope Ron Howard will make happen soon.

I enjoyed all of the "insider" jokes about hollywood and the "business".

Probably the funniest most subtle thing I enjoyed was in one of the scenes Tobias gets a voicemail "and you got a callback for something called The Big Bang Theory." Also "And By Jeremy Piven."

I liked when Gob sneaked into Ann's room, and yelled at her picture of Jesus, saying "Oh my God! For a second there I thought that was a real guy!"
