Just finished watching it all. It's amazing, definitely one of the best US comedies ever (not that that's saying very much).
I hope they do make that movie. Fuck the American public for not watching it and getting more Jersey Shore made instead.

Out of curiosity, what comedies from what countries do you find superior to US comedies?

Dude, allow me to cite precedent and politely request a late-pass on your behalf. How directly the fuck did you sleep on this show?

I've never watched it. But since you guys are talking about comedies...I like American comedies like Seinfeld (my favorite sitcom), but I really like English and Argentinian and Italian because I think the culture barrier is a lot less than the American ones, although I have learned through the years to understand and like American comedies. The only thing bad about them is that they are very predictable.

I don't even fucking know. Seriously it's just so slept on, the sleeping got infectious (like yawning) and made me sleep on it. I've been meaning to watch it for like 7 years.
In answer to the query, UK, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian & Irish comedians are generally all superior to the Americans. I could go on.
I can sleep soundly knowing you now understand my avatar.

best. show. ever. you can watch it over and over and find more jokes in it too.
buster's my favourite.
whenever you're sad at work do any of the character's chicken imitation...i especially like lindsay's. "has anyone in this family ever seen a chicken?"

I got confused with another tv show. Yes, I have watched this show sometimes, mostly because of Jason Bateman. I find him funny since the Hogan Family. And I still love that show. Hihi.:o

It shits on heaps of British comedies, too.

Yeah, it's the exception that makes the rule.
Every character is pretty much awesome. I can't think of one I don't like. I did get a little annoyed by The Fonz at one point but apart from that the characterisation was all perfectly done.

I was watching some shit comedy the other day at my friend's house, turns out it was arrested development. i expected better to be honest.
So you watched the entire first season in order to get all of the inside jokes and still thought it was shit? That's fair.
