Top 10 Rated Arrested Development Episodes (According to IMDb) - Arrested Development

[@arresteddev]

Do you agree with IMDb's list? Are there any that should've been included?

[@dgxkeyboards4535]

Well it's subjective. There a lot of standout episodes on the first 3 seasons. My top 10 are 10. Prison Break in 9. Staff Infection 8. The Immaculate Election 7. S.o.b's 6. Good Grief 5. The One Where Michael Leaves 4. Amigos 3. Pier Pressure 2. Making a Stand 1. Meat the Veals Honorable mentions: charity Drive, the one where they build a house, forget me Now, motherboy XXX, top Banana.

Rita (Charlize Theron) should have been in the list.

@@amandakenneally8475 It's great how he always - unwittingly - finds some phrase suggestive of homosexuality to be the natural thing to say, never believing that he might be gay :) Additionally I've always rather liked the fact that he wasn't a character struggling in life before he began his doomed quest to become an actor, in fact he had a successful career in a rather high status profession, but chose to give it up under the delusion that he had acting talent and needed to pursue that dream :) He showed great agility and stealth @2:04, by the way!

Save our Bluths has got to be one of the most underrated episodes. The conversation between George Senior and Michael about Showtime and the HBO, it's just genius. The whole episode is a big meta commentary on the show getting dropped. It's just the best episode.

[@AnthonysCorner1]

You'll see that most of these are from season 2. That was, and still is, one of the most perfect seasons of all time. I think nothing comes close in terms of comedy.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Such a special sitcom. The entire run felt unscripted, that's how good it was done. I do prefer the first three seasons but each one has fun stuff to offer. There are lines that will always be hilarious to me--- like when Maebe, disguised as a male guru in India, says to Lindsay "Please, don't squeeze the shaman". I bet people down the block from me heard me laugh at that joke. I wonder if you have to be a certain age to get that line. I grew up with the Charmin commercials on TV. Oh, and when they had Henry Winkler hop over a blow up pool toy of a shark, my jaw nearly hit the floor. :D Might be the best inside joke on modern television. Also, the idea of adding Ron Howard's _National Geographic TV Special_ styled narration, objective and nonchalant about the goings-on, was genius. It added a lot and also naturally helped with quick recapping of past plot events. My favorite episodes are Pier Pressure, Staff Infection, !Amigos!, and MotherBoy XXX.

[@therealwilfreddierkes9980]

I loved how they had Bob LawBlob, Scott Baio represent Henry Winkler, Barry ‘isn’t he the best’ Zuckercorn, and give an example of opening a fence as to,’I can’t reach it. I can’t reach the Chachi.’ (I think maybe it’s the same episode of HW jumping the shark. Nevertheless, great episodes!

[@eduardo_corrochio]

@@therealwilfreddierkes9980 Yes, Baio was a fun addition to the Happy Days guys. And some of those names and phrases crack me up, like Bob Loblaw's Law Blog, and Frances Conroy's character named Lottie Dotty, DA ... plus, characters referring to the restaurants _Skip Church's Bistro_ (great Sunday brunch) and _Miss Temple's_ --- awesome if the viewer gets the jokes.

The mole vs rocket man. Don't know if it's an episode, but I remember like it was yesterday. Cue the blurry flashback screen. We had people over, and we were all bsing. TV was on in backround with that episode on. I was engaged in the conversation, not really watching just catching glimpses, something about a mole, rocket pack like I said, not really paying attention. Then the mole and rocket man started fighting. It was like the end of a murder mystery when all the puzzle pieces snap into place. Rocket man mole, of course. I burst out laughing and practically fell out of my chair. Everyone's like what? All I could do was point at the screen through tears of laughter. That show was that good.
