Anybody watch this show?

It's quality TV. The writing is phenomenal. It's so witty and complex (and pretty absurd). It works a lot in irony, much like a Coen bros. film. There are usually a lot of A-list actors that guest star regularly. The teen actors on the show are ingenious in their comedic timing. Plus the adults are even that much better. Jason Bateman won a Golden Globe for it. Plus, there's a lot of heart to the show. Can't go wrong with heart.

Love the show, but I've only seen it a few times. Probably one of those shows I'd buy the DVD for

See like most of my friends only got into it this season. We got into it so much that we bought the DVD for one of them for his b-day and it's so funny that we watch like 5 episodes at a time. So watching it for only half an hour on Sunday nights leaves us kinda cold. One of my friends is waiting until the Season 2 DVD comes out to watch it the season. He won't watch it when it first airs.

I saw the show once, I didn't really dig the whole handheld shot thing... but it wasn't bad.

Btw, I bet I'm the only person here who gets your name.

I love the show because it doesn't seem like it is scripted, doesn't have that crappiness factor. the first few episodes was some of the best TV i've seen

Yeah, I love this show, which means FOX will cancel it.

My roomate bought the 1st Season on DVD, we watched it all in one sitting. This is the best sitcom since Seinfeld, in my most humblest of opinions.

I like Seinfeld, but I think AD is way better. I think it takes the kind of writing Seinfeld introduced/cashed-in on, but expanded on it. On AD, it seems like there's more subtle humor to catch, where as with Seinfeld the humor, a lot of times, just came from irony.
