So, I'm watching Arrested Development season 1 for the 10th time it seems and I still laugh my booty off! It's the funniest comedy I've ever seen. What do you all think?

Did you see Pinsky at the Lakers game a couple weeks back? He had courtside seats with Tobey Maguire. Spiderman goes to Rilo Kiley shows too (he's wearing the cap). Pinsky has a kickass porn 'stache now.
I'm still going to marry the chick that played Dina on that show. I loved her for real.

Arrested Development was great, and should have been renewed. Showtime should have picked it up, but the creator of the show was asking for too much money. I would have gotten Showtime just for that show.
Well, I do have Showtime now, but cause my family likes watching the L-Word. Though they say that is sucking now too.
Arrested Development was just brilliantly written. Too bad Fox didn't know what they had in their hands.

Yeah, it's quite the quotable movie.
By the way, writing "comedy sitcom" in your thread title is redundant as sitcom stands for situational comedy.
Seriously, I do think The Simpsons is the best animated series and the best sitcom ever on television. I know it hasn't been great for several years now, but the work they did from seasons 3-9 or so was absolutely brilliant television. Everything from the writing, characters, and the voice actors (especially Dan Castellaneta, Hank Azaria, and Phil Hartman RIP). You also have to give them credit for longevity and the fact that people still want to watch it after all these years. The simple fact that a cartoon can be entered into a discussion about the greatest television show ever is remarkable, but it's deserved.

Absolutely one of the best sitcoms ever. Also one of the best casting jobs I've ever seen. Every character is perfect and hilarious in their own unique way.
My favorite quotes:
"Come-ON!"
"There's always mony in the banana stand."
"There've been a lot of lies in this family..." "And a lot of love." "More lies."
"Mmm, so watery! ...and yet there's a smack of ham to it." "It's hot ham water!"
