Arrested Development (2003 - 2006): Review By Georgia DiPirro

The Bluth family is a formerly wealthy, dysfunctional family. With their excessive materialism, selfishness and manipulative ways they are lossing it all. Except for the money in the "Banana Stand".

Trustworthy, dependable Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) is the only one in the family that is striving to do the right thing. He trys to keep his family together and out of hot water; that the rest of the family keeps getting into.

George Sr. Michael's father goes to extensive lengths to manipulate and control his family, while behind bars. Simultaneously, the "riches to rags" family becomes more manipulative, materialistic, and hypercritical as they are living in a dream world.

This show has rich humor and an ambiguous plot. The characters on the show misinterpret what the other one is doing or phrasing, leading to an embarrassing or disastrous results.

The Executive producer is Ron Howard and the uncredited narrator which adds to the success. It's created by Mitchell Hurwitz. The creator, cast, crew -- Everyone ~ did an Excellent Job!

Arrested Development is comical, witty, and has you thinking. Lingering stories that are humorously wrapped up, so you think. Sporadically there is a significant plot twist. -- It's fun to watch.

I LOVE IT!
