This is best served in this thread, seeing as I have hijacked this thread and turned it into a thread about how I am better at watching TV than all of you.
Funny bits and pieces? WTF do you laugh at? No other comedy makes me laugh as much as AD. The tightness of the writing is unlike anything I've ever seen on another comedy. Nothing is introduced that won't become part of a joke later. The show builds upon its own mythology by doing callback jokes all over the place. All the comedies from the last half of the 2000's that I love are united in their ability to rip off
Arrested Development over and over again. It is the show that all other comedies wish they were. I can't say a single bad thing about it.
