“Arrested Development” (2003)
I had only watched a bit of Arrested Development when it was on a couple years ago, but thoroughly enjoyed watching all three seasons at once. I enjoyed David Cross’ character, Will Arnett’s, “But still, where’d that lighter fluid come from”, Michael Cerra’s general brilliance, and the fake “Scenes From Next Week” device. Watching it all at once, it was clear the writers had about 6 different story lines they recycled over and over and over again, though usually successfully.

This show is one of the top five funniest I’ve ever seen. We quote from it all the time. And yeah, the plot is basically George Sr. is in jail, out of jail, gets caught, escapes, gets mistaken for his brother, etc. on repeat, but the plot doesn’t really seem to be the point.
Oh man, I’m cracking up just thinking about some of the bits from this show.
