Editorial Reviews

Arrested Development went into its second season on shaky ground: Despite its 2004 Emmy win for Best Comedy in Season 1, the series seemed close to cancellation as FOX reduced its order for episodes from the usual 23 to only 18 during Season 2. But fans that appreciated the zany writing style and bizarre cast of characters launched a campaign to encourage the network not to give up on the quirky show. Luckily, Season 2 didn't become Arrested Development's last, but it may certainly be the funniest. Returning once again is the Bluth clan: George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor), the head of the family, who is on the run from prison; Lucille (Jessica Walter), the matriarch with a penchant for alcohol; eldest son G.O.B. (Will Arnett), a failed magician; Michael (Jason Bateman) the only levelheaded member of the group, who's trying to rebuild the family business; his son, George-Michael (the wonderful Michael Cera); Michael's twin, Lindsay (Portia de Rossi), an aimless socialite, who, along with her husband, Tobias (David Cross), and daughter, Maeby (Alia Shawkat), still live at home; and weird youngest son Buster (Tony Hale). This season George Sr.'s twin brother, Oscar (Tambor), shacks up with Lucille; both G.O.B. and Buster fall for Lucille 2 (guest star Liza Minnelli) in "Queen for a Day"; Buster accidentally enlists in the army and only gets out of it when his hand is bitten off by a seal in "Hand to God"; George Sr. fakes his death and hides out in the attic of a model home in "Good Grief"; George-Michael almost gets "pre-pre-engaged" to girlfriend Ann (Mae Whitman) in "Meet the Veals"; and Ben Stiller guest-stars as famed magician Tony Wonder (with a W-shaped goatee!) in "Sword of Destiny." Every single episode of the season is laugh-out-loud funny -- an amazing feat -- but the absolute best is "Motherboy XXX," in which Lucille tries to get her beloved Buster to go with her to the annual mother-son dinner dance, with hilarious results.

Warning: You Will Get Hooked On This Showby warriordundermifflinER

January 04, 2009: This is a very special type of comedy show that you won't find anywhere else. It's sort of like The Neverending Story of TV shows. Just when you think things are starting to fall into place something really crazy and unexpected happens. Genius actors and actresses, as well as some fantastic guest stars. My only recommendation is that you start at Season 1 so as to better understand the many inside jokes there are to be found. Good Grief is one of the best episodes (in my opinion)!

I Also Recommend: Big Bang Theory - Season 1, Everything Is Illuminated.
