Zaukul's Review
Arrested Development is awesome. It's easily one of my favorite shows of all time. Every single scene is hilarious, filled with all kinds of references to other media as well as tons of self-referential jokes to reward careful watchers. All the situations are genius, and every single character is brilliantly written and acted. There are also tons of cameos, all of which are great.

It's hard to explain how good the show is to someone who hasn't watched it, and it can be a little tough to get into. It's really a show that rewards repeat viewings, as you can see how well thought out everything is, with jokes getting set up in one episode when the payout is many episodes later, or even seasons later.

The fact that this show had such low ratings and was canceled makes me very sad, but we can at least be thankful for the three amazing seasons that we got. If you're reading this and you haven't watched Arrested Development, go over to Hulu.com and watch the whole series nonstop before you do anything else. You'll thank me for it.

Watched when it aired and again in 2008 and rated 5.
