Review
this comedy is smart where so many others are not. its one of the few shows on today that you find DO NOT have a laugh track which alone makes it unique but with the excellent writing and acting make it a refreshing and hilarious change. after a few episodes it all makes sense and is that much funnier once you know the characters and their very individual quirks.
this show deserved all of the awards it won plus a few more just to make sure it gets noticed. its been voted TVlands "future classic" after only a single season if thats any clue to those who havent seen it yet. the dry acting of jason bateman and the voice over by ron howard are both stellar and add greatly to the shows overall style.
watch this show as soon as it begins again (nov 7 2004 after the simpsons) you wont be sorry.
