Editorial Reviews

All good things, as they say, must come to an end, and unfortunately fans had to say goodbye to the wonderful Arrested Development with Season 3. Though the show was adored by critics, too few viewers were ready to embrace a comedy lacking both a laugh track and typical sitcom plots. And despite initial thoughts of bringing the series to one of the cable networks, creator Mitch Hurwitz decided to simply end it all. It's a pity, because Arrested was easily one of the most irreverent -- and hysterically funny -- comedies on television. During this final season, Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) continues to battle his own family in order to save the Bluth business. George Bluth Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) is out of prison, but only because he set up his twin brother, Oscar, (also Tambor) to stay inside instead. Matriarch Lucille (Jessica Walter), still perpetually drunk and caustic, rules her children with an iron fist, especially Buster (Tony Hale), who's out of the army and living life one-handed after the unfortunate seal attack of the previous season. Brother Gob (Will Arnett) is consistent with his spectacular failures at just about everything he attempts in life, from running a new Bluth frozen banana stand (20 feet away from the original) to performing his Christian magic act -- in the middle of downtown Baghdad. Michael's sister, Lindsay (Portia de Rossi), continues her on-again, off-again relationship with husband Tobias (David Cross), whose homoerotic verbal slips are a constant source of entertainment, especially his insistence that his psychology talents are a combination of the words "analyst" and "therapist." And Michael's son, George Michael (Michael Cera), is still flustered over his desire for cousin Maeby (Alia Shawkat). By season's end, there's a lovely resolution to the entire Bluth business-in-crisis story line that includes the CIA, secret Iraqi tract homes, the British, and a certain member of the Bluth clan that pulled it all together. We're sad to see it go, but Arrested Development certainly went out at the top of its game; and this generously packed DVD (three commentaries, plus deleted scenes, etc.) helps ease the pain.

THE BEST TELEVISION SHOW EVER MADEby Anonymous

February 24, 2007: I mean it. Even among the all-time greats, Arrested Development is the champ. It died a premature death, but at least it got two-and-a-half seasons after facing potential cancellation in its very first year. Start from the beginning, and watch it in order - you won't regret it. With any luck, the much-rumored feature film will eventually happen. This can't be the end of The Bluths!

TRULY ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS EVER!by Anonymous

August 21, 2006: Arrested Development was a breath of fresh air to a world riddled with reality TV. And for 3 seasons the show gained loyal fans (I'm one of them!). Sadly it didn't have the kind of numbers that Fox wanted, and the network pulled the plug. Season after season the network cut down their number of epidsodes and moved their time slot around...in essence they set the show up to fail. I MEAN...HOW COULD A SHOW WITH EMMY NOMINATIONS EVERY YEAR NOT HAVE A STRONGER FAN FOLLOWING! I blame the show's demise totaly on the network. The cast was impeccable! When I learned the show had been cancled I cried a little (a tear). Though this season was only 13 episodes they are quite possibly the best. The show really did go out with a bang and as a fan i couldn't have asked for more. I hope more people discover how great this show was/is.
