Format:DVD
The smash US sitcom Arrested Development returns for another season. The hilarious Season 1 saw Michael Bluth doing everything he could to keep the Bluth Company afloat, get his father out of jail and keep his family from destroying themselves and each other [all from behing the wheel of an airport stairlift] and Season 2 is no less frantic and hysterically funny. The family returns with the exact same pathetically-moronic charm and Michael again has to juggle fatherhood, family, finances and finding his own happiness. This second season still makes perfect watching, and never lets up on the laughs with perfect plot twists, unusually good guest stars (Liza Minelli returns as Lucille 2 and look out for the hilarious ex-Fonz Henry Winkler as the family's bumbling attourney Barry Zuckerkorn) and excellent-as-usual story pacing.
This seems to be the phrase of the year for U.S. sitcoms, but Arrested Development very well could be the best show on television, and a definate DVD must-have.

As with my review of the Season 1 box set, my aim is more to boost the average rating closer to five stars than having anything insightful to say.
I'm generally not a huge fan of American comedy so the fact that Arrested Development is one of my favourite ever shows says alot. The scripts and cast are top notch but it is the characters that keep me coming back. In particular GOB and Tobias are that rare breed of character that don't have to do or say anything to have you in stitches.
If you like clever dumb comedy then buy this now!

This is not an over the top comment from a fan. It received critical reviews and won many illustrious Emmy awards. It is very witty and well written and most important extremely funny. It is most similar to an English style of sitcom. Its an original witty American sitcom with no laughter track. This is bliss. All the actors and actress are brillant and stick to thier hilarious characters. Every one of the family cast memeber have a good shout for being your favourite charcter. Its not a one man show. This has all the ingredients in order to make a great sitcom and has been combined in a sublime manner.
SO WHATEVER YOU DO, MAKE SURE THAT YOU BUY THIS DVD. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
