Arrested Development really knows what is funny, and can even make the demise of the show a part of the hilarious plot. I know I tend to abuse the word hilarious when I describe Arrested Development; but it truly is that funny! No other show can/has maintain the high level of comedy as Arrested Development did (and still does on dvd).
Michael continues to hold together the Bluth family, even as things get even more out of hand. George Michael and Maeby delve deeper into their feelings for each other, GOB is even more of a degenerate, George Sr. is still incorrigible, Lucille still the classic drunk, Lindsey still trying to avoid the ever more flamboyant Tobias, while Buster continues to wallow in a hell of his mother's making.
A rather short season--only 13 episodes--it still packs in the laughs. The high quality of the humor is extended to the deleted/extended scenes (which is also shorter than the special features of the other 2 seasons for the obvious reason of fewer episodes).
Guest stars include: Judge Reinhold, Charlize Theron, Justine Bateman, Ed Begley Jr., William Hung, Andy Richter, Gary Cole, Scott Baio, and Richard Belzer, plus many others in varying cameo spots.
This amazing series comes to a great end (only further proof of how ignorant it was to take this show off the air). But hopefully all goes well with the movie that is anticipated to be released 2010 ... I know I am anticipating greatness. Highly recommended!!

Absolutely hysterical. I watch them over and over.
It's sort of like a Seinfeld episode where everything comes full circle in the episode but also throughout the entire series.
You have to watch it from the beginning and really pay attention to fully understand all the jokes.

Maybe the smart-funniest show ever written for tv, the third season of Arrrested Development is the most off the chain, tho I will eventually get the other seasons, probably. You do need to have an engaged brain to enjoy this show, tho.

In case you didn't know, Arrested Development is one of the funniest and well-thought out shows created since the turn of the century. Sadly for this show, the channel airing it didn't appreciate it and canceled it before the show could become an even bigger success. Season 3 is the final season of this wonderful show and I can't urge you enough to buy this and watch it.

As wonderful as seasons One and Two. It's such a shame it is no longer being produced. It was such a smart show with some odd but very funny moments. Those who make the gossip rags of today do not vary much from some of the characters in Arrested Development. Worth having in your DVD library.
