Has anyone here ever watched this show? I'm beginning to think this is one of the best TV comedies ever made.

I've heard really great things about it from time to time, but I've not seen a single episode. I'd like to see one, though. And for some reason I always associate "Arrested Development" with a short-lived show called "Freaks & Geeks." Were the writers or producers the same? Or was it that I've just heard the same hyperbolic statements about both?

I finally got to catch an episode of Arrested Development this past week. Due to other commitments here and there and my hubby controlling the remote, I hadn't had the opportunity to view it before. I really liked it and look fwd to renting the show so I can get caught up.
Has anyone been watching My Name is Earl? I was really surprised by how much I enjoy this show.

I've never seen My name is Earl, but I've heard good things.
I looked around a bit but I couldn't find any connection between Arrested Development and Freaks & Geeks. AD does have several writers though, so maybe one of them worked on both shows. It's a heartbeat away from being cancelled (it's considered too interesting for it's own good), so if you're gonna watch it you might as well just rent the first season. It's a show that really should be on HBO (it's being shopped there now). I looked and it's available on netflix.

Yeah, there's a lot of talk about putting AD on a premium cable channel, either HBO or Showtime.
Bridget and I will be rejoining Netflix soon, because we're getting rid of our cable to save money. I'll be sure to add people on so we can keep track of each other like stalkers.
Speaking of Netflix, the producer of "Trapped by the Mormons" passed on that we're shopping it to them... they seem to be a big purveyor and outlet for indie films. No telling how it will go though.

Right now FOX is doing that cool thing where they move a show around enough until it loses all its viewers allowing them to be justified in canceling it. Last I knew it was on mondays. I think 7pm.

The first arrested development fan that I knew was Jon Parsons. He made me sit down a watch a couple of the episodes. It's a good show. My problem is that I am not a huge comedy fan, so I've never gone out of my way to watch any except for Cheers (back in the day), Ali G, and Curb.
