show: Arrested Development
The Bottom Line: "Perfect"
Arrested Development is a hilarious comedy about the escapades of a rich and dysfunctional family. The combination of brilliant acting, writing and directing make it appeal to viewers who are not satisfied by the drivel that makes up most mindless sitcoms. The unique characters, while hilarious on their own, come together to paint a picture of the absurd life of the Bluth family. Not a moment is wasted in this series. Every joke is hysterical and every episode a classic. The reactions of the "straight man," Michael, and the neutrality of the narrator (director Ron Howard) provide the optimal balance to the behavior of the wackier characters. If you are sick of lame laugh-tracks, predictable jokes, tired characters and recycled plot lines, check out Arrested Development, the greatest sitcom ever cancelled.
