This fall, Fox presented two live-action sitcoms to me, a huge champion of Arrested Development and sorta-fan of My Name Is Earl.

1) Running Wilde: created by Mitch Hurwitz (Arrested Development) and Jim Vallely (Arrested __Development), starring Will Arnett (Arrested Development)
2) Raising Hope: created by Greg Garcia, the man behind Earl and (shudder) Yes, Dear

If you were to ask me three months ago which pilot would be funnier, I would be shocked at the answer: Raising Hope.  My review — which invokes the Coen Brothers for some reason — after the jump.
