getting to know the bluths
Arrested Development is in my humble opinion, the funniest show on television. Now you may be thinking "Family Guy!" but boy do I have some harsh words for you. Not really, but I feel Family Guy is more a collection of jokes and feels too disjointed for me to fully enjoy. Also when I'm watching the... Read full review »

Arrested Development - Season One DVD
I never saw Arrested Development while it was being broadcast on Fox, but I do remember hearing a lot about the show. It got all kinds of praise from various critics, but for some reason the show's ratings never took off like one might expect. The show was eventually cancelled after three seasons...

Why Aren't you Watching This?
I originally started watching Arrested Development when I saw that both Jeffery Tambor (from the Larry Sanders Show) and David Cross (From Mr. Show) were cast members.
This show is probably unlike any show you've seen before. Humor-wise, it is close to Seinfeld: Jokes and plots are set up...

The funniest show (perhaps) ever gets off to a great start
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is was one of the great TV comedies of recent years. It truly isn't like anything else you’ve seen. It has a jumpy, spontaneous, handheld look like many dramas you see these days, but it is far from serious. This is a show that has characters that are very funny on their face,... Read full review »
"How much could a banana cost? Ten dollars?"
The funniest thing on television ever.
That's the only way to describe 'Arrested Development'.
I do not even know how to describe the type of humor in this show. The writing and characters are so clever, I'm sure most people miss the extent of the jokes.

Arrested Development is the funniest show on TV!
Arrested Development, is, IMHO, one of the best shows currently on TV. It stars a huge variety of well-known and welcome faces such as my newest crush, Jason Bateman (The Hogans), Portia de Rossi (Ally McBeal), David Cross (check out his hilarious comedy CD-- "Shut up you F***ing Baby!"), Jeffrey...

America is too Stupid to Watch This Show
Arrested is smart, clever, and the funniest thing on tv, hence why nobody is watching it. Like it or not, television is aimed at the mouth breathing boobs who actually voted for George W a second time, so it's no shock that one of the greatest shows in the history of television is allowed to...

Can't understand why it didn't catch on
I recently bought the DVD set after a friend of mine introduced me to the comic genius that is known as Arrested Development. For those of you who haven't seen the show and are clicking on this randomly, perhaps a distant memory of a comment made to you about the show by a friend, you don't know... Read full review »
Unique, Intelligent, and Irreverent -- no wonder it didn't last..
by Robert H. Goretsky
Arrested Development was one of those rare television shows that truly broke the mold, and in doing so, created a genre unto itself. Similar to 'The Office', the cinematography led you to believe you were watching hidden cameras showing you people behaving as they...

Arrested Development - Season 1 3 Disc Set DVD
The Bluth clan lives a life of excess funded by the family credit card and paid for by the fortune patriarch George Bluth Jeffrey Tambor made in the tract home development business. Oldest son George Oscar Bluth II nicknamed Gob is an "illusionist" of minor importance who has anger management issues while the youngest son Buster whiles away his days taking obscure graduate school courses. Daughter Lindsay Portia de Rossi is a vain socialite who throws parties with her sexually ambiguous husband David Cross MR. SHOW. The only sane member of the family is Linsay's twin brother Michael Jason Bateman a widower who stands to inherit the reins to the family corporation when his father retires. However at the retirement party some unexpected obstacles are thrown into the mix: Michael having informed the family that his first task as head of the company will be to confiscate everyone's credit cards is passed over in favor of his snobby alcoholic mother Lucille Jessica Walter. Just when Michael decides to wash his hands of the family and move to Arizona with his 13-year-old son George Michael George is arrested on fraud charges and the family's assets are frozen. Michael is forced to step up and aid his family in adjusting to their new lives. Shot with a shaky camera and a documentary air that creates a feeling of intimacy with the characters ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is reminiscent of Wes Anderson's THE ROYAL TENNENBAUMS and Christopher Guest's mockumentaries. Truly unique in the realm of TV sitcoms it employs a cinematic humor that often exhibits a dark side. While targeting the filthy rich and the squeaky clean families of prime time it also displays a certain tragedy in the characters' eccentricities and helplessness. During its two seasons on Fox Network it garnered massive critical acclaim and was nominated for 7 Emmys a Golden Globe and won the TV Land "Future Classic" award.
