It's such a unique show, I don't think there's anything else really like it.
It's got a specific cadence and a fast pace, large ensemble cast with running gags and strange editing things like false musical cues, etc. The moments of sentimentality are also false. The closest thing to it might be sketch comedy, at times.
I don't know of another show that would routinely have writing like
"it's as Ann as the nose on plain's face."
My favorite bit was when Tobias sees a call from BLU on his answering machine. Thinking it's the Blue Men Group calling him back, he paints himself almost entirely blue- while it goes through all the messages from Lucille to Micheal. Then he gets to the message...
"uuugh! BLUth company!" And he looks up at himself in the mirror in slow motion, seemingly questioning how his life led him to this moment. Nice someone made it into a gif

I like the 70s show and the new single season of the 90s Show.
Tombstone is great. Virgin River if your in a girly mode
You should get Disney+ and just watch Star Wars stuff

Agreed.
I lol quite a bit. Last episode I watched Tobias tells Lucile that hurt people hurt people. To which she responds (in her head)
“Yes that makes sense, twice. I used to say I once but twice is better: Hurt people! Hurt people!”
I reckon I could watch it all again and catch stuff I missed out on the first watch. One of my fave comedies for sure.

was in the shower today and just started chuckling to myself about arrested development (thanks, im sure, to this thread)
particularly this scene
Dirty Ears Bill.
Definitely due for a rewatch (probably 6th time thru). You catch something new each time.

a fav+ mindfuck for me is watching Ozark and seeing Jason Bateman essentially play the same character but then in a straight setting (straight, or actually heightened reality crime setting)

i was just using The Internets to figure out... yes, that was it, Jimmy Quidd from House
and i get this, just, like autistic-grade House fandom wiki
...has anyone tried re-watching House via just reading this wiki?
(i can actually see it in my head as i read this; i can give you specific camera shots... reminds me of when i would record movies and TV shows to an audio cassette to listen to during long drives)
