Summary: Best show ever. Not a joke.
Comment: If you've never seen Arrested Development, please go rent at least one season of it (or buy it) immediately. This show is incredible, and you will cry when you realize they've cancelled it.

Summary: The 21st century's greatest comedy so far
Comment: The third season of this hysterical show lives up to expectations. The show continues to blend dysfunctional family comedy with jabs at current events. (The fact that we're a few years' removed from their current events only makes it more interesting.) Season 3 is packed with guest stars, some of whom are funny (Scott Baio as Bob Loblaw - say that name out loud) and some of whom I found a little creepy (Charlize Theron as Michael's mentally-disabled love interest). Buying the DVD set is worth it, because although episodes can be found online, you're going to want to watch this show over and over, and there's no guarantee it will always be available. The special features are also cute - commentaries are by the entire cast, which makes them a lot of fun to listen to.

Summary: Funny Show
Comment: The Third season is pretty funny though not as good as the first or second.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Inspired lunacy
Comment: It's a shame that quality doesn't assure success. Case in point: Arrested Development, certainly among the funniest, most twisted sitcoms of all time. It tells the story of the dysfunctional Bluth clan, particularly Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman), who is trying to hold the family's crumbling real estate development company together despite the criminal indictment of his father (Jeffrey Tambor) and the blissfully oblivious weirdness of his free-spending relatives. This final season was cut short as the show finally succumbed to poor ratings, but it still delivers tons of laughs. The ensemble cast is uniformly brilliant and the writers put the characters in some amazing situations. Rumors continue to circulate that show creator Mitchell Hurvitz and producer Ron Howard may make a feature film. I'm skeptical that it will ever happen, but I'd love to be wrong!

Summary: Don't wait for the movie!
Comment: Well, I don't know that even 300 words would be enough to describe how great this show and this season is! I could go on and on about Tobias alone for about 900 words or more. Season 3 is full of even more quirky, ridiculous, and hilarious scenarios than the previous two.
And I'm not one to cry about how the show was cut short and should have gone on forever, etc. I'm just happy that it got the green light in the first place, and that for 3 seasons (okay, 2.5) it was a bright spot in an otherwise dull, boring, and formulaic television landscape.
If you've never seen the show, you must give it a chance. Borrow it from a friend, or rent it and you will understand. Then you can come back here and buy it!
If you are an AD fan and haven't bought this yet, what are you waiting for!? If you don't buy it, you'll find yourself saying, "I've made a huge mistake."
