Let's see if this is really as good as everyone says it is. I'm going to watch episode 1 now, so I'll be back with opinions in about 20 minutes.

I like it. Not sure yet how I feel about the narration but it allows to show to jump around as much as it does without being confusing so I'll give it a pass. Lindsay trying to cry was my favourite part, and "this blue part is obviously the land".

Funny. I just got done re-watching the whole series recently.

My first watchthrough brought about the new season and movie, now a second one makes the universe bring another viewer on board. Clearly...

My favourite moment of episode 2 was the way Tobias pronounced "elephunt". And "bumpy road ahead". And Job trying to throw the letter into the ocean.

Why hasn't anyone made me watch this before? You guys suck.

First episode's kind of proof of concept that I didn't find that great. Two's better, but I think the show really picks up steam around episode three.

Episode 3 wasn't as good as episode 2. Less funny anyway.

Are the "Next time on..." bits always just quick jokes and never actually part of the next episode?

There's at least two that do preview what the next episode will be about.

Well, you catch something new every time you watch. There's some incredible foreshadowing on this show.

I made a list of all the recurring jokes and subtle stuff I could on this forum somewhere. You should look at it once you finish the series.

Watched 5 episodes now. The narration is beginning to wear thin. It's like the shows go by so fast that there's no time for a set up and a punchline, so the narration just does the set up. I'll get used to it though. It's definitely a good show.

So I blitzed through the first 10 episodes. Really liking it. Tobias is probably my least favourite character at the moment just because he's a bit too crazy. With the never nude and talking at cross purposes to end up in silly situations... It's not very good.

Eh, Buster's not that great either. Although he's better than Tobias.

No, Gob is the best character.

Unless I haven't been payin any attention, there is no Franklin yet. I'm up to the episode where Tobias finally gets naked. Hopefully he'll become more bearable now.

He had this complex where he could never be naked and it wasn't funny.

Also, the show does that thing that the US Office did of using a documentary format but never commiting to the reality of it. Although it's not as bad in Arrested Development because the camera's only been acknowledged once, indirectly, so I can ignore it. I still found it odd and annoying though.
