DVD Reviews of Arrested Development: Seasons One & Two
DVD Review: Such a fabulous show!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's really a shame that this show only lasted 3 years on TV. It was one of the most original, innovative comedies to come out in a very long time! I highly recommend the DVDs for any fans of the show, or any of the actors on the show. Every time I watch an episode, it gets funnier, and I notice little things that I didn't the first time around.

Description of Arrested Development: Seasons One & Two
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, 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. The fact that he's passed over instead for his mother 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, his basically useless younger brother, his greedy twin sister, and her sexually ambiguous husband. Michael's only comrade in sanity is his son George Michael, but then again, the teenage boy harbors a secret crush on his cousin. 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
