Arrested Development is just so amazing in so many ways. The characters are all really interesting, and the actors who portray them are just astounding (I especially enjoy David Cross as the obliviously gay, never-nude brother-in-law). The writing is fresh and smart and completely devoid of tired sitcom cliches. The show doesn't need a laugh track to tell you what's funny, and it doesn't have to teach you a lesson at the end of every episode.
And of course the most important thing of all, is that the show is freakin' hilarious. During most episodes I can hardly stay in my seat. My gf loves it so much she watches the episodes over and over (that's a little excessive for me, although the show does have good repeat value - you might miss some of the more subtle jokes the first time through).
