Arrested Development
Arrested Development is a character-driven comedy television series about a wealthy but dysfunctional family. The show is presented like a documentary, complete with narration, archival photos, and historical footage.
Seinfeld
Seinfeld is a television sitcom, considered to be one of the most popular and influential of the 1990s in the U.S., to the point where it is often cited as epitomizing the self-obsessed and ironic culture of the decade.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a 2002 romantic comedy film written by Nia Vardalos and directed by Joel Zwick. It was the fifth highest grossing movie of 2002 in the USA, behind Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, with $241,438,208.
Office Space
Office Space is a 1999 comedy film directed by Mike Judge, loosely based on his 1991 animated short film of the same name. It pokes fun at work life in a typical software company during the 1990s by portraying individuals who are entirely fed up with their jobs.
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Royal Tenenbaums is the 2001 half-comedy, half-drama about three genius siblings who experience great success in youth, and even greater disappointment and failure after their eccentric father leaves them in their adolescent years.
The Films of Christopher Guest
Christopher Guest made his directorial debut with The Big Picture, an unremarkable 1989 comedy starring Kevin Bacon. His real contribution to comedy, however, have been his so-called mockumentary films: Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and A Mighty Wind.
