Arrested Development

Even more than 'Lost', the show I can't bear to miss at the moment has to be 'Arrested Development'. AD reminds me a little of 'Soap' filtered through a sieve of'Seinfeld'. And like both those shows, it is a twisted laugh-riot. For some reason, BBC 2's schedulers have consigned the programme to the 11pm on a Sunday night graveyard zone (previously occupied by the excellent and underrated 'Trevor's World of Sport'). Let's hope they see sense and move it to the kind of timeslot it deserves.
