we watch it when we can. It's a great back to back with Earl. Loved the Christmas Party and gift exchange :)

anything that mocks reality tv is ok with me 8)

I watched several episodes when it first came on last year, but couldn't really get into it. I keep hearing everyone say how funny and great it is, but I just didn't get that at the time. Maybe I should give it one more chance.

Definitely in my top 5 right now (well 4 since AD is gone) and possibly #1. I enjoy Earl, How I Met Your Mother and Everybody Hates Chris but none of them make have the moments that make you spit out whatever you're drinking like The Office

I've really gotten into this show in the past few months.

It just cracks me up. I love it! haha

I think that if you enjoyed the movie Office Space, you'd like this show, but that's my opinion.

Maybe I caught it on a bad week, but the episode I watched left me wanting that half hour back.

I watched this a couple of times and didn't find what the big deal was, then I kept catching it because it was on after Earl, and I realized that there are a lot of similarities between the office and places I've worked. I love the show now.

Just took a while to grow on me :)

ya actually it took some getting used to. I think the show has a different style..and call me wierd, but that's why I like it.

I'm sorry, I'm just sooo tired of reality shows!!!

Best show on the tube right now, period. You have to have a keen sense of humor to get it, I suspect.

I also never cared for "Arrested Development", and this show reminded me of that one.

There's no such thing....show me any "reality" on any of those shows. It's voyeurism TV.

"Reality" shows are as real as Pamela Anderson's fun bags.

She had those removed years ago (for safe keeping, she keeps them in Courtney Love's lips.)

Its' more like a legend
"Oh all the money that e'er I spent, I spent it in good company.
And all the harm that I ever did, Alas it was to none but me.
And since it falls, unto my lot, that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call, 'Goodnight and Joy be with you all.'"

don't get me wrong The Office is a great show, but Arrested Development has the edge. But could someone please tell me what Fox is thinking by canceling this show...makes absolutely no sense :evil: :evil:

Fox canceled Arrested Development because nobody watched it. No viewers = no advertising money coming in = bye bye

they shouldn't have put it in the same time slot as monday night football. the fan base that watches mnf is probably the same as arrested development.

I guess i shouldn't give up hope...they did cancel Family Guy and look what happened there :o
