Do you watch this show? Well you SHOULD. I was addicted from the pilot of this thing and now they're probably going to be canceled. If you're a fan, go to http://www.getarrested.com and sign the petition or write a nasty letter to FOX or something before they cancel this gem. Any show that features a character who was a former professional analrapist (world's first analyst/therapist) is comedy genius.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who watches this show.
You apparently either don't get smart comedy or spend all of your time watching masterpiece theatre. Compare the writing of this to a "good" show like everybody loves raymond and Arrested wins hands down.
Arrested is great, one of only half a dozen shows that I have a season pass for on my tivo.

Excellent show, I have them all on my comp...at least seasons 2 and 3...the problem with new viewers is that the show is a continuing outrageous story, where every show builds on the other ones. I think this is why its not as popular. If they could just start from season 1 so people could see how the characters developed, SO many more people would like it.

Indeed, they should do a season 1 marathon or something, that would get lots of people hooked. As it stands, it is incredibly self-referential and really subtlely so, too. But that's half the comedy. If you go back and rewatch season 2, there is so much foreshadowing to Buster's hand, it's ridiculous. The show has so much rewatch value, because every time you watch an episode you catch a bunch of jokes you missed before.
I seriously wept when Rita opened the gold medallion and it was chocolate.
Either I just don't get smart comedy, or the show sucks, I think the latter but I don't know.
Or... You just didn't follow it from the beginning. There are literally hundreds of running jokes, and it helps the show a great deal. I still bust up every time I see a blue handprint somewhere...
