Good call. I just started paying attention to this show, it definitely has the same kind of humour. It's pretty sharp.

Modern Family is a little less subtle, but just as good.

Actually, Modern Family has been a show I've been wanting to start watching. I've seen a few clips and episodes here and there and really enjoy it. I really like the dynamic between that gay married couple with their adopted baby. Sophia Vergara is also really really easy on the eyes.

One of my favourite parts of the show is that there are a lot of jokes that you don't get until a second or third viewing because they make reference to things that happen in future episodes. In the episode where Buster runs away from home to go to "Mexico" and ends up at their maid's house, he walks around the house and sees all the Bluths' old stuff that Lucille has given to their maid over the years, and he sees his old hand chair and remarks that he's never missed a hand as much as that. That episode aired weeks before he actually loses his hand.

When Michael sees Tobias and Gob in the coffee shop, thinks that they are writing up a business plan, and is prepared to fund them.

When Maybe walks in on Tobias calling Lindsay a count...ry music loving lady.

Whenever Michael's disapproval of Anne comes out. "Her?" or "She's the belle of the ball!".

I could probably find a hundred favorite scenes. Funniest show I've ever seen.

Because most overrated shows are ranked 123 out of 156 on the Nielson ratings. Those legions of people clearly made it the most overrated series on television.

Not being a fan of the show, what were you expecting when you clicked on a thread titled "Favourite Arrested Development Scenes"??

All the Charlie Brown sad walks from that episode were great. The best was the one where George Michael was walking past houses, and in front of one of the houses was a big red dog house with a beagle lying on the roof.

Gobias Industries was awesome. "Go buy us some coffee"

I can't find a video of it, but my absolute favorite AD moment is probably the "on the next episode..." sequence after the botched wedding:

Can't find a clip, it was one of those end of the episode one-off jokes, when Tobias nonchalantly walked naked past the family eating breakfast, Portia is breaking out of character because she's laughing so hard.

Glad, no one mentioned it yet... Too bad Youtube removed the full clip.
