Synopsis
The Bluth family returns for another season of life after credit cards, in this revolutionary award-winning comedy. Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) is the voice of reason in the midst of a blue-blood clan of crazies who have become acclimated to the life of luxury due to the fortune earned by patriarch George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) in the tract-housing business. When George is arrested on charges of tax fraud, however, the family's assets are frozen, and the resulting life of relative poverty proves difficult in many unexpected ways. Matriarch Lucille (Jessica Walter) is an emotionally stunted alcoholic, who in season two hires a bounty hunter to find George Sr., who has run off to Mexico maybe. The Bluth siblings include Lindsay (Portia de Rossi), a socialite whose multitude of causes serves to further her own social career; Gob (Will Arnett), a womanising illusionist; and Buster, a mama's boy who spends his time pursuing a nebulous career as a grad student. Lindsay is married to Tobias (David Cross), an out-of-work actor and former doctor whose sexuality remains undefined. Michael, in addition to tending to the foibles of his siblings, spends much of his time trying to be a good dad to his earnest 14-year-old son, George Michael (Michael Cera). Season two also sees Buster joining the Army, Lucille getting tricked into rehab, and the Bluth Banana Stand getting rebuilt, while Lindsay's anti-depressants turn out to have hallucinogenic properties.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly Made Comedy, 2 Nov 2005
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aaah, theres no laughter track! Now I won't know when to laugh., 2 April 2007
"This is truly the greatest comedy known to mankind" is a phrase that is used too often these days, but this is truly the greatest comedy known to mankind. Series 1 was painfully funny and series 2 keeps up the standard. In Season 2, GOB becomes the new Bluth Company president, George Snr hides out in the attic at the model home, Buster has his hand bitten off by a loose seal, George Michael starts dating some girl whose name I can never remember and Tobias(my favourite character) joins the Blue Man Group and dresses up as Mrs. Featherbottom to get closer to Lindsay. You'll love it.

I really cannot believe that a show of such wit and originality, a show so spectacularly scripted and acted, a show that has been critically acclaimed by every critic and his mother, a show with a blue, never-nude named Tobias in it, has been cancelled after just 3 seasons. American audiences must have been confused by the exposure to real comedy that AD inflicted on them. Maybe they were just frightened by the absence of canned laughter to guide them through a tv show.

There have been protests and petitions to bring back this monumental show, but they are unlikely to succeed. The only thing we can do is buy the DVDs and hope for the "Family Guy Effect" to reoccur. So many people bought Family Guy DVDs all around the world that Fox brought it back from cancelation. Keep buying and maybe Fox will be the ones to say, "I've made a huge mistake."

5.0 out of 5 stars Majestic, 27 Aug 2006
By W. Leitch "Radio Raheem" (Highlands, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is such an amazing show. Following a once-wealthy family, the Bluth's, as they descend into chaos following head of the family George Sr's arrest for building houses in Iraq, it reveals itself to have everything. Episodes only run for 20 minutes but it rivals the Simpson's for the amount of gags the fit in that time. From running jokes (so many you catch most on repeat viewings) to amateur magicians, the Fonz as a inept lawyer, to a teenager becoming a movie executive and an accidental recruitment to Iraq, Arrested Development Season Two and the equally brilliant Season One have it all!

Roll on season three...
