Arrested Development Reviews

My husband and I love watching "Arrested Development" on DVD.  We need to buy the series already!!  We have rented the entire 3 seasons from Netflix too many times to count.  

What I really want to know is who made the decision to take this series off the air?  I mean seriously, are they still employed at Fox or what?  I would love to hear your comments if you know the answer or even want to rant.

The lengths "Arrested Development" writer's went toward to pull off a joke, with an amazing cast of actors and voice-overs by Ron Howard no less is genius.  The main premise of the show breaks...

I had always heard about how funny and great Arrested Development was by friends and family, but just never got around to watching it until recently when my brother let me borrow his copy of the first season.  I was hooked after the first episode and watched the entire season in one weekend!  I love the dry humor of the characters and the narration by Ron Howard.  Others have described this show as "The best show that no one is watching", and I guess that's why it isn't still on the air.  The writing is brilliant, the acting well done (except for Micheal Cera...I don't care for him), and the...

Arrested Development truly is one of the best shows, new or otherwise, of the year: a laugh-out-loud, deeply quirky, and audacious series that has its own wacky agenda and dares to be delightfully different. There are few shows on network television right now that come close to matching Arrested's absurdist satire or twisted view of family crises. That the show mines its laughs by taking potshots at the filthy rich makes it so much more delicious.

Created and written by TV vet Mitchell Hurwitz (The Golden Girls, The Ellen Show) and executive-produced by Ron Howard and Brian Glazer (Howard's soothing...

I cannot believe they canceled "Arrested Development"! This TV show had by far some of the most clever writers ever. The way they used a sort of "catch" pharse or word and tied it all together with each character featured on the show was incredibly funny and intelligently clever. The characters were all amazing, even those that were the "villains" or n'er do wells in the series were likable. My daughter and I were hooked on this show. One of the funniest episodes was the one when Lindsay's daughter Maybe was enrolled in a special school because she had trouble in a regular school. The special school's...

The show is a comedic gem.  It is very witty and well written.  Everytime you watch it get get another little comment they made. I'm so sad that they took the show off the air.  It should have had at least a couple more seasons.  I always thought that George Michael was adorable in a dorky kind of way.Arrested Development is about the ultimate dysfunctional family. The father is in jail for an infinate number of charges relating to the family business and the mother is a cold rich alcoholic. The daughter Lindsey married a gay guy (but not out of the closet) to piss off her parents and...

I absolutely love Arrested Development. The wry humor never fails to leave me laughing. Many shows I cannot stand to watch an episode again even once, but with Arrested Development, I can.

I first heard of the show from a roommate during college and it didn't sound all that intriguing. A couple years later my sister-in-law loaned us the DVD's and we sat down to watch. I was instantly hooked. The characters are hysterical. I love their interactions and the humor involved. The Bluth family is dysfunction at its best. Each sibling is incredibly unique and could keep the audience entertained by themselves....

I loved Arrested Development when I first saw it.  It was fresh, the writing was superb, the commentary by Ron Howard really made the show.  I was hooked and couldn't wait until the next week to see what happened.  I loved following all of the different storylines.  Every character had something going on in the crazy world that was their life.  The first season was definately the best, the second season was good, but by the third season it began to get too weird.  Not as funny and unpredictable as the first two seasons.  Still a great show.  We have all three seasons on DVD and when I want...

Arrested Developement clearly isn't for everyone, I guess that's why they cancelled it.  It was probably too witty for the vast wasteland.  This was one of the funniest and cleverest show I've seen.  It's one of those shows that will probably be remembered n 20 years as Monty Python is now.  The show's premise is just hilarious and the characters were all hysterical.  And Michael Cera!  I have all the seasons on DVD and enjoy watching the show again for subtlties I may have missed before.   Or for the pie in the face humor, both work.  The last season wasn't as funny as the previous, I...

I recently borrowed Arrested Development from my local library.  I remember them receiving awards back when the show aired, but never really knowing what the show was all about.  I am glad that I checked out the first season (and subsequently season 2 and 3) because both my husband and I liked it.  It has great comedy in there, mixed with a little drama in a style that pleases in a "The Office" sort of way.  I wish I had watched it back when it was airing so that I could have contributed to it's ratings so it could have been aired longer than 3 seasons, but hindsight is 20/20.  I hear there...
