Have very possibly spent way too much time looking at way too many pictures of way too many assorted boys, and so I give you: ( from boybander to Jensen, by way of CMM... )
Yeah, there's something about Arrested Development that rubs me the wrong way. OTOH, I need to take Scrubs in small and infrequent doses, too. I guess I'm just too crabby. ;-)
Ohhh, really? I adore Scrubs. (Though, hmm, it's one of the rare shows whose original version I can't stand -- for once the french dubbing is much better. And it's true that the one time I could only get the US voices, I changed channels pretty quickly...)
But yeah, really not that funny. And it sounds like they're trying too much, you know? Whereas at least in Scrubs it seems natural.
I don't mind the OV voices, it's just too BROAD for me. It's OK to watch every now and again - and I did quite enjoy Garden State - but I guess I'm just... yeah.
Yes, I feel that many comedies try too hard. I'm more into the subtle stuff, you know?
omg me too - we just got loaned Arrested Development because of all the raving and wow was it underrated. Although we (my SO +I) weren't too impressed with its originality... I think we went back and watched more The Mighty Boosh *grin* We just didn't laugh, if you know what I mean...
I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I usually always love the underdog, and I was thrilled when I learned it'd finally air here, and then...
And the originality felt forced, like, "Oh, I've got this great idea for a show, and we're going to use all these gimmicks to make it *original*", and it didn't work. At all.

although I've got to say that Portia Rossi was kind of hot, just not anywhere near enough compensation.
yes, forced is exactly right
