The 21st century's greatest comedy so far 
2008-08-16
The third season of this hysterical show lives up to expectations. The show continues to blend dysfunctional family comedy with jabs at current events. (The fact that we're a few years' removed from their current events only makes it more interesting.) Season 3 is packed with guest stars, some of whom are funny (Scott Baio as Bob Loblaw - say that name out loud) and some of whom I found a little creepy (Charlize Theron as Michael's mentally-disabled love interest). Buying the DVD set is worth it, because although episodes can be found online, you're going to want to watch this show over and over, and there's no guarantee it will always be available. The special features are also cute - commentaries are by the entire cast, which makes them a lot of fun to listen to.
Funny Show

The Third season is pretty funny though not as good as the first or second.

It's a shame that quality doesn't assure success. Case in point: Arrested Development, certainly among the funniest, most twisted sitcoms of all time. It tells the story of the dysfunctional Bluth clan, particularly Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman), who is trying to hold the family's crumbling real estate development company together despite the criminal indictment of his father (Jeffrey Tambor) and the blissfully oblivious weirdness of his free-spending relatives. This final season was cut short as the show finally succumbed to poor ratings, but it still delivers tons of laughs. The ensemble cast is uniformly brilliant and the writers put the characters in some amazing situations. Rumors continue to circulate that show creator Mitchell Hurvitz and producer Ron Howard may make a feature film. I'm skeptical that it will ever happen, but I'd love to be wrong!
Don't wait for the movie! 2008-06-14
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."
HUGE Disappointment~WHY 5 stars?! 2008-04-18
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

Great Show 2008-03-01
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.
An instant classic! 2008-02-09
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.
the end of an era 2008-01-15
It is hard to pick up a season of arrested development and say this is the best season (at least for me) they were all good and they will be missed. Why! why! Didn't we watch it when it was on tv. another good show canceled before its time.
Arrested Development is the best show ever 2007-12-13
Arrested Development is an amazing show and this third season just solidifies that fact in my mind. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that likes quirky, intelligent comedy!
