I'm a huge fan of Arrested Development and I adore Community, but I almost didn't get into both because when I see overeager fans of something who act like that, my gut reaction is almost always to go "WELL FINE I don't need your show" even though I love both.

I mean, it happens with a lot of shows, but yeah these three are definitely magnets to this type of fan.

I don't get why people get so excited over Arrested Development?

I watch it and stuff and I'm halfway through season one and I guess the writing for it is admittedly very solid and it has some nice jokes but. . .I just don't get it. Why do people stan for it so hard?

Is that gonna just be something I won't get unless I stan for it too?

[writerserenyty]

The show itself really calls for multiple viewings. IMO where you are is the least funny part of the show; I'm rewatching season 1 right now but my favorite part is the first half of Season 3 (the 'For British Eyes Only/Mr. F' arc). I'd consider pushing forward; I tend to find season 2 and season 3 funnier.

The reason so many people stan is when you get to some of the more subtle jokes. There are a lot of times when you'll get to a part of the show that, when rewatching, you realize is foreshadowing something going on much later in a very subtle way. There are jokes you'll maybe get on a 3rd or 4th viewing. So the show in a way encourages really strong fannish ideas.

But yeah, it is one of those shows IMO takes a while to get into. I don't know if I really enjoyed it as much as I do now when I was where you are.

Ok that's good to know. I assumed the stanning was maybe a Parks and Rec situation where Season 1 is solid but only mildly funny but in later seasons it's hilarious. Thank you for the encouragement :)

I hate this with shows. "Oh, but the later seasons are better." Supposedly this is true with Buffy. I watched "good" episodes that were later. I hated them as much as the S1 stuff.

You know you're supposed to watch shows like Buffy in order, right. It's not a sitcom. It actually does help to know the plot of the season and you know.. who the characters are.

I just really love the jokes, the writing in general, the actors...the combination of everything just really works for me.

Also, I agree with writerserenyty. I love that it's one of those shows where you can watch the episodes multiple times and always pick up on new things you didn't notice before, because there's just so much going on. Whether it's just some random sight gag in the background, or you notice a different meaning to a joke after seeing something that happened later on...it's just a lot of fun to watch, imo.

Obviously it's not for everyone, but it's tied with Community as my all-time favorite comedy. I think season 2 is when it really gets going, though, so maybe give it a try until then, and see if you get more into it?
