Arrested Development

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367279/

9.7 out of 10. That's incredibly high. I rewatched some episodes last night and was laughing out loud at jokes I missed the first time viewing. Man, this show is at an entirely different level from everything else out there. Whereas Seinfeld has a brilliant, unique, and hilarious POV of the world and Sopranos expertly mixes high drama with high comedy and contemporary middle class pathos with gangster folklore...Arrested Development is almost pure high aburdist comedy craft, where nearly every word and line has two-three meanings and alternative references. It is the James Joyce of the sitcom.
