a lot of the jokes are callbacks to earlier jokes, to a point where i could totally imagine not getting half of the first shows in series three without having watched the first two series. also, i got the dvd of series three a couple of weeks ago and have already watched it twice, and ended up watching the shows on bbc2 again the other night - the density of jokes in the show is dizzying - not just background jokes a la The Simpsons (a charlie-brown-esque george michael walking past a huge doghouse still being my favourite), but lines in the show that you miss through laughing at the line immediately preceding it.
arrested devlopment is easily my favourite tv show since chappelle.

this stuck out to me. serious? cos everything i've ever seen on BBCA looks like it was shot by some trainee soap crew. is it some kind of transfer thing? or eye-acclimation? or ur rong, or what?

I've noticed this! I think this was one of my primary attractions to Arrested Development, was that, even with the majority of it taking place in either the model home or Lucille's apartment, it felt like it was occurring in real places (it did help that they frequently went outside a la trip to Mexico ["20 miles to Legoland"], the banana stand, etc).

British sitcoms tend to occur in two places: inside (VT) and outside (film).
i don't think this has been the case for a fair while - does anyone shoot on film now? (genuine question, cannot think of any right now). the filmed outdoor stuff in old sitcoms always looks so much more 'realistic', less 'stagey' than the old skool video stuff, but i guess with technological advances this is much less the case.

its intriguing, isn't it? episodes of the office, for ex., have a very filmy grain to the picture, but its video...
