Genre: Television Rating: NR Release Date: 29-AUG-2006 Media Type: DVD Amazon.com: Arrested Development--one of the greatest comedies in the history of television--went out in a blaze of glory. The truncated final season packed more biting humor per minute than ever before. In only 13 episodes, dozens of intertwining storylines spun in all directions: In addition to the overarching story about the fractious infighting of the Bluth family and the family's housing development company being investigated for treason in Iraq (a plot arc that comes to a dazzlingly surreal conclusion), the put-upon 'good son' Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman, Teen Wolf Too) pursues romance with a lovely British woman (Charlize Theron, Monster) who turns out to be woefully inappropriate; swaggering magician Gob (Will Arnett, Monster-In-Law) flees from his newly-discovered teenage son while still pandering for the affection of his self-absorbed father (Jeffrey Tambor, The Larry Sanders Show); flighty Lindsay (Portia de Rossi, Ally McBeal) and her sexually blurry husband Tobias (David Cross, Mr. Show) both get the hots for the family's new lawyer, Bob Loblaw (Scott Baio, Charles in Charge); and much, much more. It's difficult to describe what makes Arrested Development so brilliant. The ensemble is uniformly superb (Jessica Walter, as the family's boozing, scheming matriarch, is particularly devastating this season) and the surprising guest stars (including Andy Richter, James Lipton, Justine Bateman, and many others) are perfectly cast; the characters' abominable behavior defies conventional television notions of 'likability', yet they only grow more endearing the more you watch; the humor embraces wild slapstick and sharp satire, often within a single scene; and the nimble documentary style allows for sly glancing references to jokes and scenes from long-past episodes, rewarding devoted fans. But the key is that, no matter how screwball Arrested Development becomes, the show offers a rich, textured, and wonderfully coherent world in which these characters feel genuine, a world completely unlike the flat, plastic simulacrum offered by the average sitcom. Arrested Development was true to itself to the end. Its followers will cherish it forever. --Bret Fetzer Stills from The Third Season of Arrested Development (click for larger image) Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Don't wait for the movie! 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." Rating: - HUGE Disappointment~WHY 5 stars?! This show was one of the best to be featured on TV...EVER! Too bad they were cut short on Season 3 and cancelled...I have all the seasons, and my advice to you is to start at the Pilot and work your way through all 3 seasons. It is so great- the cast, the writing, the narration, the directing--everything about it is AWESOME!!! I am so disappointed because this is the last one...but supposedly a movie will be coming out, but no specified date or year...so we have to wait to see where life has taken the Bluths...and they better hurry before Lucille croaks...oh wait, she is way too mean to die...LoL Rating: - Fantastic! One of the funniest shows to ever be on t.v.! It was cancelled way too early, but at least it left on a high point. This last season is as funny as the first two, and you won't be disappointed! Rating: - Great Show This is by far the best show ever on tv. I don't own any other television shows on dvd. It is so quick and witty, with subtle jokes in there, you can watch it over and over and maybe catch something new each viewing. Rating: - An instant classic! Arrested Development is a perfect example of studio executives not knowing what the heck they're doing. This show should never have been cancelled! The acting was amazing, the writing perfect and the inside jokes were definitely something to look forward too. I have the entire series and it was WELL worth the money, in fact I would've paid much more than I did.
