New season of Arrested Development released today

[Dr. Love]

Anyone else watch some of this yet? AD is my favorite show (ever) and the first run was incredibly awesome (especially the 2nd season).

I've watched 7 episodes of the new season and I really feel like they've made a huge mistake. Most of the time it's not funny ... its just sad.

Haven't seen any of it yet, but I guess I'm not surprised if it fell short.

ADKOT was really a fluke in that respect.... usually if you take several years off from any sort of creative project, there's a serious reduction in quality.

Sadly, I think that's why Mike Judge only made one "new" season of Beavis & Butthead, though I thought some of them were as good as the originals.

Really ??

That sucks...

Really ??

That sucks...

Some of the episodes are ok ... The gob ones. Lindsay, Michael, George Michael and George's are generally not great.

[Zing!]

Planning on tuning in to a few episodes today. Huge fan of the original series.

Really? I'm so bummed out. I haven't had a chance to watch them yet but I was looking forward to it. Loved that show.

[Dr. Love]

Give it a shot, but it didn't have the original magic to me. It was at times very dark. I enjoyed how the original show had everyone happily clueless. Loved the irony and at times over-the-top nature of things. In the new series, you really see people hit the bottom and it's just not fun to watch characters you love suffer so much and not really get any redemption.

I'll watch just because I loved the show. Hell, I watched that God awful Alf movie because I loved the show as a kid so how bad can these episodes really be?

[FORD]

Watched about half of them last night. Does seem to be a bit of a "bummer" throughout the whole thing. It's like Morrissey wrote the screenplays and decided to make everybody miserable.

[Zing!]

Yep, pretty much agree. It was a bit too nonsensical at times and the characters are simply stretched too thin. The single character episodes just don't work. They need to get the old format back. There were a couple of moments where they almost recaptured the magic (Michael's second episode with Ron Howard was great), but the laugh out loud moments where few and far between.

Lindsay Bluth looks like shit...

[Sarge]

If I can watch parks and recreation I can watch anything!

[Dr. Love]

Lindsey actually looked remarkably like Sally Sitwell in the new episodes. It was uncanny.

The more I think on it, the more I really only liked the first Gob episode. Hello darkness, my old friend.

Yeah... I don't get it. Why take an ensemble cast show, a show that's driven by the interactions of its core characters, and then seperate them?
