I don't hate it. It's a generic, rote network sitcom. If it had Tim Allen I would probably love it! However, as it is, it's just a sitcom without any actors that I like very much. I see no reason that people have crazy attachments to it. There is just nothing interesting about it. Based on the sort of cult love for it I assumed it was going to be edgy or quirky or intelligent but it's none of those things. It's just a network comedy with a lazy ass voice over (all voice overs are lazy).
I don't like Community, but I totally get why people do. It's weird. It has interesting writing and out-of-place characters that make the show unique. I don't like it, but I get why others do. I totally do not understand why people have weird raging boners for Arrested Development.
Will Arnett is the best actor on the series, but his character is shit. Forcing a catch phrase four episodes in? Is this the 80's? If I want to see Will Arnett I will watch a far more compelling but still fairly generic show, Up All Night....is that still on?
Also, Michael Cera is pretty much the worst. David Cross is the best, but it doesn't seem like they let him be very David Cross-y or even feature him much.
I'll probably keep watching episodes in the background while playing Dota, but man...I'm shocked by how vanilla it is.

Yeah, see. How is this funny enough to be quoted a billion times? I get the joke. It's just not that freakin hilarious. Same with people posting every stupid thing that came out of Tobias' mouth or the "bees, beads" thing.
LOL ANALRAPIST!!!!
*rolls eyes* Yeah, buddy. Very clever. Now, run along with your safety scissors.

The ANALRAPIST thing will be funny no matter how many times I hear it.

So is The Wonder Years lazy in your opinion?
The Wonder Years is a great show despite the voice over. It also uses the VO as a sort of reminiscing I believe (it's been forever since I watched an episode) whereas AD uses the narrator as a crutch because it can't be bothered to keep its characters interesting enough for you to remember what cliched hi-jinx they are currently up to.
When there is a purpose outside of "hey, remember this guy from last week? Probably not so we should remind you" to the voice over, it can at least be tolerable.

Wow.
People don't get AD?
Next you'll tell me that people root for the Buccaneers!
Anyways, current Saints douchebag Drew Brees, former Saints douchebag Scott Fujita, and current NFL PA head douchebag Demaurice Smith are at NFL offices today. Presumably bitching about the pending bounties punishment for involved players.

:jnc As though there is something to get.
In jokes and callbacks. Show was more consistent - maybe to a detriment on an episode-by-episode basis - than any sitcom I can think of.
You absolutely need to see the show in chronological order. Otherwise, people aren't interested, and I don't blame folks for it.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
While you are horrible person with no taste, we can all agree at least that rape jokes are played out and that people here need some new material.
Fat jokes are still ok. Sorry SNES...
Honestly, I gave it probably three shots before I finally came around on it. First time, I watched a few random episodes and was confused. Second time, I watched the first 3 episodes, and I wasn't feeling it.
I finally watched season 1 through and burned through the rest of them.
Now, granted, I wouldn't hold it against you for giving up on it. That's on the show. They made a show that's more serialized than standalone, and it made a big difference in ratings. I remember having only caught one episode when the show was still on the air, and I gave it all of thirty seconds.

Something tells me that Goodellführer will not be as harsh on the players as he was with the coaches.
He's already killed the head, the body should fall, right Gregg?
I watched the first four episodes basically back to back. It's so generic.
Time to go white sheet shopping.
Sitcom wise? I like Parks and Rec, it's a pretty excellent show in all facets. Curb, Seinfeld, Tim Allen vehicles.

Arrested Development is wildly overrated, and I like the show.
It was an interesting quirky show that like a million other shows could have caught on but didnt, then took on this meta role of the brilliant overlooked sitcom. AD isnt good enough to warrant the praise it gets, but now its cool to like it so here we are.

I don't think so, Tim.
You are probably one of those weird Randy fanboys.
Like I said, I'll probably keep it on. I find it patently ridiculous that this show is going to get anywhere near as intelligent or interesting as Curb however. And the writing and acting in P&R blows it out of the water to this point.
I like anything with Tim Allen except for the truck commercials, and that's only because he is hawking shitty Chevy's.

I'm one of those people that like good television.
Which show was better, Home Improvement or the Cosby Show?

Best response.
He likes Tim Allen because he's a sexist.
Ho Ho Ho Ho.
Cosby Show.
His stand up that may or may not still be on Netflix was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
It doesn't reach Curb in terms of absurdity and blowing out, you know, actual interactions. Because Larry David is God of situational observations.
The writing is better than Parks & Rec. And that's honestly my favorite comedy on TV right now - even from a guy that hates Aziz. There's not exactly a Nick Offerman corollary (I'm assuming he's your favorite part), but the acting is excellent. Jeffrey Tamboor, Jessica Walter, David Cross, and Tony Hale are awesome.
I guarantee few things, ez, but I will guarantee that you won't regret giving Arrested Development the time of day judging by your tastes in sitcoms.
Yeah, clearly long else Cromartie would've been mentioned. But that one makes me chuckle even more:

I honestly thought AD started slow and wasn't that great until the early 2nd season-ish.
