    Full disclosure tim: I’ve only seen a few episodes of both shows.

    For ages my friends and colleagues would say to me, “DDJ, I can’t believe you haven’t seen Arrested Development! It’s hilarious, and totally your sense of humor!”

    I watched some of it, and while I chuckled, it wasn’t the LOL funny. Maybe my expectations were raised to Cal-levels of high.

    All In The Family was hyped by my, heh, family. Great show, I can see why it’s a classic, which is why it gets my vote...but again, no big belly laughs in the press room from me.

    Voted because I've never laughed harder than I did as a teen watching the first season

    It got stupid and would probably suck watching it now but still

    I watched some all in the family recently. It was amusing. Then again it had Sally strothers in it.

    Arrested development is subtle, ridiculous, and brilliant and has a wildly cute lesbian in it. No contest.

    I appreciate the historical importance of All in the Family as well, but Arrested Development is one of my all-time favorites. The long-running jokes and callbacks to previous jokes is outstanding.




    This. AD made a living off of setting up jokes for three episodes before the punchline. Best comedy shit ever.

    Sammy Davis Jr kissing Archie Bunker - HISTORIC TV at the time.

    Scandalous. Funny as shit.

    It waned in the later years and that sequel Archie was in later. But not much better than prime Meathead and Archie going at it.

    Arrested Development too awkward.

    Disagree with AD being a 4 seed. I'm ride or die.

    Also, I can't believe this is close. Rule #1 of this tournament should be points are deducted for having a laugh track.

    The first 3 seasons of Arrested Development are GOAT territory. Greatest sitcom writing ever and delivered flawlessly by the cast.

    Once Netflix got ahold of it it went downhill but such is life.

    Arrested is fine. I don't have the love for it others do

    AD is final 4 shit for me for sure. The first 3 seasons are the most I have ever laughed. Ever.
