While I like all of those shows, for the record before anyone gets on my back about Firefly mainly, I think with Arrested Development there is no exaggeration. I really think it's one of the most intelligent, well written, creative, and most importantly funny sitcoms I've ever seen. It's a perfect example to show any simple-headed, ignorant Brit (and there are many here) that likes to pigeon hole American comedy and sense of humour as lacking in wit and intelligence when compared to ours, that for every ****ty American sitcom there are also some wonderful examples of it.

I will be very surprised if you don't like it.
