Arrested Development (2003 - ) "Level-headed son Michael Bluth takes over family affairs after his father is imprisoned. But the rest of his spoiled, dysfunctional family are making his job unbearable."
I really love this show; its my favorite comedy. As the title suggests, each character has an exaggerated (almost archetypical) form of arrested development. The jokes and gags are often witty and are NOT accompanied by a laugh track.
As an aside, when I started watching this show, I was a point in my life where I was highly depressed and confused. The show and characters in it provided me a critically needed mirror which made me realize I suffered from arrested development (which was more valuable than the many therapists I had seen up to that point). That realization led me to be much less dysfunctional and primed me to my initial awakening/the LOO a very short time later.
