I'm now irrationally envious of the fact that you're currently having the pleasure of watching it for the first time.
^^ This.

I'm currently re-watching on FX as well. Arrested Development has so much re-watchability, you pick up tiny things you've never noticed with every viewing.

Patiently waiting for the release of Tobias' book and the ep where GOB helps George Michael run for student council :thumbsu:
 
Trying to pick the funniest moment so far. Might be when Gob ends up in hospital after getting stabbed in a prison he was attempting to escape from as a magic trick. 'Am I in prison'? 'No, you're in hospital' 'Ta-da'.
 
Loving watching it on FX. It's on ABC2 one night a week too (well, it was a couple of weeks ago).

One of the single greatest moments in AD. Was in tears when I first saw it, and it still cracks me up! :D :thumbsu:
Agree. One of my favourite scenes.

"I SHOULD BE IN THIS ****!"

The look on Gary's face and his retreat is hilarious.
 
But somehow, I still see things each re-watch and think "wow, I didn't notice that before".
I recently ripped through them again, but I watched it with headphone cans to pick up the feint and subtle dialog that I might have missed in prior viewings.
There was the scene where the feds raid the Bluth office and George Michael is the only one there, and he's holding the folder which contains the arts and crafts he made as a kid, which the feds believed contained key evidence in bringing the company down. In that scene one of the snipers says "we can take the shot", indicating he can execute George Michael. I'd never heard that line before but it was hilarious.
 
Was vaguely aware of this shows existence, but knew nothing about it nor had seen a single second of anything to do with until I noted they were showing it on the new FX channel, so I thought I'd give it a go.

All I can say is 'better late than never'.
The only sad thing is all the Sadaam Hussein stuff that builds and builds through the show's run is so dated now.
 
GOB - Steve Holt's not my son.

George Michael - Steve Holt the moron jock?

GOB - That's my son you pothead!

From the Forget Me Now episode. Also at the end when

Steve Holt - I wont forget this dad.

GOB - (Swallowing roofie) I will....I will.

Also watching Tobias maneuver himself around Maggie Lizer's place has to be one of the funniest things ever on TV.

Decided to watch the rest of the series and i can not think of 1 bad character. Gob is fantastic. Buster is a very underrated character imo.

I dunno, I've enjoyed watching it each playthrough. I think the second may have been more enjoyable because I started getting some of the jokes I missed the first time.

Probably the only show that if I'm going to watch I have to watch it from the start and watch it all the way through. With Seinfeld (which is my favourite comedy) I just pick and choose episodes.

So many moments that get me every time. Particularly Tobias, and particularly when Barry hits him with his car.

I do hope Maeby and George Michael don't look too old for the new season though.
