I don't think I could count all the jokes in Arrested Development if I tried. It is without a doubt one of the fastest shows that has ever been made, and it relies heavily on countless callbacks to prior jokes, often in extremely understated ways. I've watched the show twice and I don't think I've laughed at everything there is to laugh at yet. It has the wit of shows like "Community" but hits the hard-to-do market of gimmicky TV; the characters are utterly insane and completely unbelievable, the plot is impossible and nonsensical, and the more you watch it the less it seems to say about anything (think: Seinfeld plus caffeine patch minus the 1990s). But it is remarkably well done. I don't know if better casting is possible. Loses a star for the reboot, but not in the usual way. Unlike some others, I was able to watch the rebooted seasons with no issue, as it stayed remarkably true-to-form in writing and production. But something just felt off. The last season was enjoyable but I was somewhat distracted, like when one is in the car driving to the airport for a vacation but "did I leave the garage door open?" won't leave one's mind. Maybe it was just how much the actors had aged. 10+ years is a long time to wait to reboot a series and pretend like it hadn't been that long.

All said, one of the best sitcoms ever created, and no doubt an enjoyable experience for anyone who loves witty, absurd comedy TV. Just make sure you put your seatbelt on.
