Winner of the Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy its first year out, Arrested Development is the kind of sitcom that gives you hope for television. A mockumentary-style exploration of the beleaguered Bluth family, it's one of those idiosyncratic shows that doesn't rely on a laugh track or a studio audience; it's shot more like a TV drama, albeit with an omniscient narrator (executive producer Ron Howard) overseeing the proceedings. Holding the Bluths together just barely is son Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman), the only normal guy in a family that's chock full of nuts. Hardworking and sensible, Michael's certain he's going to be given control of his family's Enron-style corporation upon the retirement of his father (Jeffrey Tambor). The fact that he's passed over instead for his mother (Jessica Walter) is only a blip when compared to his father's immediate arrest for dubious accounting practices, and the resulting freeze on the family's previously limitless wealth.
Bereft of money, and even less family love, the Bluths have to band together in their moment of need--not easy when everyone's looking out for number 1. In addition to his scabrous parents, Michael has to contend with his lothario older brother (Will Arnett), his basically useless younger brother (Tony Hale), his greedy twin sister (Portia DeRossi), and her sexually ambiguous husband (David Cross). Michael's only comrade in sanity is his son George Michael (Michael Cera), but then again, the teenage boy harbors a secret crush on his cousin (Alia Shawkat). A peerless ensemble led by the brilliant Bateman (who ever knew he could be this good?), all the actors are pitch-perfect in their roles, delivering the dryly funny, sometimes absurdist dialogue with the speed and flair of classic farce. The unusual tone of Arrested Development takes a bit of getting used to--it's far different from anything you'll see on TV, even HBO--but once you buy in to the Bluths' innumerable dysfunctions, you'll be laughing your head off for hours.--Mark Englehart

We loved this show, but unfortunately it is canceled. We do enjoy watching the DVD's over and over again!

Truly the funniest thing to come out of television since "The Simpsons". The writing, the cast, the premise- all inordinately great. There is not a weak episode in the bunch, and for being the first season of a television series, this is particularly noteworthy. This is the kind of show you catch someone else watching and wonder how you could ever have missed it. Really, very awesome.

First off, let me start of by that ANYTHING with ron howard's involment is ment for average-to below average white people, who fancy themselves as being cultured or deeper than they really are. With that being said, I am not suprised that Arrested Development is a show that only hipster doofuses seem to enjoy.
To be fair, it's not the worst thing I've ever scene (family guy wins that distinction), but it is very boring, very lame and above all else, it's tedious. All the family memebers ... Read More

We love this show. I had never watched the show when they previously were on tv. Lots of dry humor, very funny

One of the funniest series I've ever watched. They linked everything together beautifully, you'll be watching the 2nd season and laugh at a one liner that they tied in from the first season. A Must buy.
