re: Arrested Development - Franklin

This show is so fricking funny. Brilliant. I never saw it in real time and only saw it on DVD years later but I can definitely see that it wasn't really cut out for a wide audience like the othe rgeneric canned laugh track sitcoms of the day. It's still hysterical to me and holds up incredibly well.

As you said S1-3 stand toe to toe with best comedy seasons ever filmed. While 4-6 obviously aren't in that league I rewatched them about a year or so ago and I think binging helped some, they were a bit funnier than I remembered. The entire Judge REinhold story arc (I think that may have been S6?) was hilarious to me.
