You Gotta Watch This Show

Ok, I'm gonna use my blog to plug a TV show. I know it's chessy but if you are not watching it you're missing the best comedy since Seinfeld and I would dare say... GASP.... better.
It's Arrested Development on FOX. The writing is clever, the continuity insane, the plots unimiagable, and the acting and casting perfect. From Scott Baio as lawyer Bob Loblaw (say it out loud) replaceing lawyer Henry Winkler because "he can do everything the same and skews younger" to narrator Ron Howard warning that they are not making fun of actor Andy Griffith you can watch it over and over and find new jokes each time.
If you're sick of watching typical sitcoms buy the first two seasons on DVD now and start watching. It's the best show on TV.
Every quotes great but here's a few good ones from the show:
George Sr: They can't convict a husband and wife of the same crime.
Michael: I don't think that's true dad.
George Sr: Really?
Michael: Yeah.
George Sr: Oh, I have the worst flippin attorneys.

GOB: I'm a failure. I can't even fake the death of a stripper.

Lucille: What do we do? She's going to tell Michael. And he won't hear the good stuff, he'll just hear about the beating.

(commercial for the Law Offices of Bob Loblaw)Bob Loblaw: Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed? You don't need double talk, you need Bob Loblaw.

I've never seen it, but I'll give it a shot. Remember that old show the lead used to be in "It's your move"? No one remembers that show.
