About this product

Product Information

The Bluth clan lives a life of excess, funded by the family credit card and paid for by the fortune patriarch George Bluth (Jeffrey Tambor) made in the tract home development business. Oldest son George Oscar Bluth II, nicknamed Gob, is an "illusionist" of minor importance who has anger management issues, while the youngest son Buster whiles away his days taking obscure graduate school courses. Daughter Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) is a vain socialite who throws parties with her sexually ambiguous husband (David Cross, MR. SHOW). The only sane member of the family is Linsay's twin brother Michael (Jason Bateman), a widower who stands to inherit the reins to the family corporation when his father retires. However, at the retirement party some unexpected obstacles are thrown into the mix: Michael, having informed the family that his first task as head of the company will be to confiscate everyone's credit cards, is passed over in favor of his snobby alcoholic mother, Lucille (Jessica Walter). Just when Michael decides to wash his hands of the family and move to Arizona with his 13-year-old son George Michael, George is arrested on fraud charges and the family's assets are frozen. Michael is forced to step up and aid his family in adjusting to their new lives.Shot with a shaky camera and a documentary air that creates a feeling of intimacy with the characters, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is reminiscent of Wes Anderson's THE ROYAL TENNENBAUMS and Christopher Guest's mockumentaries. Truly unique in the realm of TV sitcoms, it employs a cinematic humor that often exhibits a dark side. While targeting the filthy rich and the squeaky clean families of prime time, it also displays a certain tragedy in the characters' eccentricities and helplessness. During its two seasons on Fox Network it garnered massive critical acclaim, and was nominated for 7 Emmys, a Golden Globe, and won the TV Land "Future Classic" award.

    ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

    Yet to watch... my daughter loved the show. She likes funny... i do too

  • So funny it should be criminal!

    Of all the DVD's I own (a lot) this whole series is by far the most used part of my collection. I think the reason a lot of Americans missed out on why this series was so funny is we are used to seeing comedy that parodies stereotypes we have of other people, whereas this series generally parodies stereotypes that other people have about Americans (we treat Mexican workers badly, we have a lot of money that we don't work for.) There is also a lot of jokes about things that arn't usually considered appropriate to joke about, like incest. Also, instead of having one joke that drags on and on a la Saturday Night live, the jokes are just quick one liners that will come up again and again in a variety of situations. That is one of the reasons I always come back to this show, I always find ...

  • Arrested Development Season 1 Boxset Survives Round One

    Four years after its release, the arrested development season one box set has survived what obvious viewing pleasure could have incurred through the time frame from one family in Canada (specifics not specifically specified) to that of an exciting young couple located in Saratoga Springs NY, USA. As current owner of this magnificent product, I would love to first thank the academy. Special thanks to all those who mentored and guided me toward learning how to understand and operate a computer, and of course, navigate the internet. Although I have not yet viewed what exciting episodes of arrested development stories have to offer in season one, EVER, I want to note that its condition favors more of a 'through the years' defensive one. It appears that the package would have arrived in ...

  • Arrested Development is a MUST Watch & MUST Buy

    If you haven't seen Arrested Development - and unfortunately that population is FAR too big - you are missing out. Arrested Development is FOX's improv-based show that has amassed a cult following. It follows the Bluth family - a disjointed and bizarre family who has illegally managed a family business and fallen in lots of money... that money though becomes tight after FBI investigations and Arrested Development follows the stories of the twisted family and son Michael Bluth's (Jason Bateman) quest to remedy the situation. The show is filmed like other similar hits (Mr. Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, etc) in that there is a scripted plot but no script. Though Arrested Development didn't gather a massive following in its first season, it gathered mass acclaim: receiving 7 Emmy nominations, a ...

  • One of the greatest comedies ever made, if not the best

    OK OK, before anyone cries heresy, please make sure you've seen this show. Some shows such as Mash, Cheers, and Cosby Show are classics, and AR will not be considered a classic (it was only around for 3 seasons), BUT, once you've seen it, you will agree this show deserves the title I've given it. I already had seasons 2 and 3, and wanted season 1. This show had me rolling in stitches for every single episode. I have never bought any other comedy show, for mostly, if I've seen it once, then that's good enough. Well, not for Arrested Development. As I've seen every episode multiple times, and will see them again. IMO, this was the best comedy I've seen. The characters are all so unique and quirky, but work incredibly well together. There is not a character I do not enjoy. The ...
