I thought I would give Arrested Development a watch since it has been getting so many rave reviews. I acquired all three seasons, and after watching 2.5 episodes, I'm really disappointed.

First, the humor is so predictable in this show. All of the characters act like complete idiots and you always know when something stupid is going to come out of their mouths. Michael is the only normal character, which makes one wonder why he puts up with the the other ones in the first place.

Has the bar for quality television been lowered so far as to give a show like Arrested Development such a stellar rating? Apparently so. This show reminds of Family Guy but with real people doing the acting. Even the little 'off screen shots' are similar to that of The Family Guy.

I've gotta say though, Family Guy is funnier! At least it's a cartoon and there's an excuse for the stupidity.
