When I first experienced 'Arrested Development' at a friends place I was totally oblivious to AD's smart humor, I don't know what was wrong with me. We were watching the fire sale scene and none of us laughed.
Those were dark days. As time progressed and I longed to watch for of this 'Arrested Development' show I'd heard so much buzz of (over the internet) I gave it another show. And I eventually got it, and it's not because I'm subscribing to the popular opinion that AD is underrated.
The formula for AD's success is simple: bombard the entire show with all types of comedy (slapstick, subtle), mix it with brilliant performances with the actors and just minus the soundtrack. I know, sounds simple right? Don't ask me how, but the writing is so sharp, original but grounded that it is just too likable. You can't describe it, just watch the show and take in in it's genius!
