And I can't stress how important it is to be a regular watcher of the show. In last sunday's episode, for instance, there was this subtle, throwaway line by Henry Winkler's character that referred to a hilarious plot point from several episodes ago. There's little stuff like that all over the place in every episode. More jokes per show than any other comedy series I've ever seen. That's one of the reasons why I can watch the same episode half a dozen times in a row and still laugh my ass off. There's always stuff that even I missed. So Arrested Development is definitely more serialized than any American sitcom out there, which makes it more like a BBC show like The Office or Red Dwarf.
