Description
In this Emmy(r)-winning comedy's hilarious third season, Michael Bluth finally realizes that it's his Uncle Oscar serving time in prison, not his father. Reluctant to spring Oscar due to the effect it may have on the family business, Michael decides that the only fair thing to do is to find his father and place him under house arrest. Yet once found, George Sr. insists he was tricked into working with the Iraqis, leaving Michael no choice but to investigate his father's outrageous claim. But it isn't until Michael and Buster go to Iraq on a rescue mission to save Gob that the depth of the devious plot is revealed...and Michael learns which family member is the real brains behind all the madness.

Best show of all time? July 13, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I know calling a show the "best" is brash given the diverse criteria people use for judging but no show has ever packed so much humor into so little time. While I thought the third season was least good, it was still miles ahead of anything else on TV. RIP AD, you will be missed.

Many have argued that Season Three has dropped the standard of AD. While I agree that Season Three is different from Season One, "different" does not necessarily mean "worse." Occasionally, AD has experimented with changing the typical style of the show. For example, the episode Ready, Aim, Marry Me (Season 2) strayed from the traditional AD pattern, but the episode was still hilarious. Similarly, Season Three may be slightly different, but it is still packed full of great acting, great writing, and fabulous jokes. Everytime I think of lines like "the Bob Loblaw Law Blog" and "You served us cereal....in an ASHTRAY" I burst out laughing. And the scene with George-Michael in the jet pack attacking the "mole" in front of the Japanese buisnessmen is just unbelievably funny.
I urge every cool person in the world to buy every AD DVD.
another FOX blunder July 7, 2006

Arrested Developement was a show FOX should have given a chance with. It showed a dysfunctional family at its best and many who saw it laughed.
Thje third (and final) season has been released to DVD. If you are a fan of this show's biting satire and wit-this season's box is not exception.
The cast seemed to mesh more this season... Their third year together. The third year shows were inventive, quirky and well written. The cast, which included Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walters and Jason Bateman (all in top form), made this emsemble piece great TV. I blame FOX tv for not cradling such a show, as CBS did for JAG which ran for 10 seasons.
so is this box set worth your time-YES. However if you havent started from season one, get season one and two box set first
the sad thing is I wish HBO or showtime would have continued this show, rather than some others that have on their schedule. ALAS another great witty show for people with brains goes down the tubes

Best Season of the three June 29, 2006

Season three was great despite being subjected to unexpected changes mid-season.
The failure of this show is simply a reflection of the stupidity of Americans. This show or a show like it would have been extremely successful in Europe but here there are just far too few people intelligent enough to appreciate it.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, Arrested Development outwrites, outwits and outacts every TV show I've ever seen, bar none. Despite a small dip in the writing at the beginning of the season, AD season 3 finishes off as strongly as the last two, but with a bit of a kicker: there will be no more AD. If only the rest of America appreciated smart comedies as much as you the reader do (wink wink). Just do yourself a favor and buy this. And seasons one and two. It's been a good run, but I suppose that every dream must come to an end.
