That's hilarious! Did she like it? No, not 'like.' Good works of art should be appreciated lol. What did she think?

Wow I haven't thought about Scrubs in a while! I don't remember the last season though. As for Community, that's very true, but it lacks the detail and intricacies of AD. Maybe I'm just a hater. I liked Community though, I stopped watching after it went to Yahoo streaming or whatever.

About SC (Schitt's Creek), yes, that is a very good way to put it. Exactly.

The Royal Tenenbaums had a similar plot to SC and AD in the sense that it's about a rich family that's no longer rich, but it's closer to AD in the DETAIL, acting, and narrators. I actually found out the writers from AD actually took inspiration from The Royal Tenembaums, the mild plot, style of filming. And the cutaways, what they show. Royal Tenenbaums is also very well-framed. It's pure art, but in a mostly different way than Arrested Development.

BTW, if you haven't seen it, I super-recommend a show called Pushing Daisies. It has a narrator and a really cutesy-morbid-paranormal story and vibe. Very cute show, very sweet, very unique. It also has a narrator and the writing slightly reminds me of AD. Very slightly, but that's why I thought of it. Definitely a good show.

Yeah. I think Arrested Development is artwork because of the immense detail, the nicknames, the hidden jokes, the writing, acting, the wordplay. So much!

Community and Schitt's Creek, while they have aspects of all that, are undeniably not as detailed and not as cleverly written. I've seen Arrested Development 4 times by now. I notice something new every single time. I'm not kidding, every time.

Community is so awesome! But upon rewatching, it's the exact same thing. Schitt's Creek, I think, is all right.

Have you ever seen the movie The Royal Tenenbaums?

Edit: and, I agree, the Netflix continuation sucked

Also, here are just a few of the jokes in Arrested Development
