A.V. Club's Guaranteed pop-culture laughs

Many mentions of AD, including this one.

I'm gonna jump in before anyone can suggest Arrested Development and say, well, Arrested Development. I was sick a few months ago, and I plowed through the entire show in a matter of days. It's amazing how well it holds up, and how fresh and funny every single episode was--;truly, from start to finish. Specifically, while people often go for Tobias, Buster, or Gob ("Illusions, Michael!) as their favorite characters, I'm gonna say Michael Bluth. Sure, he's not as outlandish as everyone else, but he's undeniable proof that everything comedy-related--;one line, a sketch, an entire TV series--;needs context. Michael was the ultimate straight man, which made his occasional quirks (falling madly in love way too quickly; unwarranted loyalty to his father; "Her?") hit even harder comically. Oh, and Franklin ain't bad either.
