The Bluth side of life...

There are many shows that had a short run time, and some of these shows might be considered some of the best shows ever created ( at least by my point of view, and hey this is my blog so I can say what I want). In this category of brilliant TV entertainment would be Arrested Development. This is one of the wittiest shows in the history books today ( and I think it was probably schluffed off because the living population could not fully understand the humor.. it does require brain cells after all). The show revolved around the Bluth family, who are all incredibly incompetent, with the exception of the middle son, Michael Bluth. The plot involves the family trying to deal with real life after their father is sent to prisoner using the company as his personal piggy bank. Everyone needs to get jobs, and (gasp) save money. They bumble around trying to impress each other and be successful, while Michael covers up their mistakes. The characters are all so well developed and the writing is fantastic. There were only three seasons ever made, but the shows clung on for dear life. It was first aired on HBO, then after the ratings weren't up to par, switched over to Showtime. After another season of not enough viewers FOX actually picked it up. It still didn't make it, but producers knew it was winner. If you are looking for a new addicition, look no further than Arrested Development. It is narrated and directed by Ron Howard ( and Henry Winkler plays an incompetent lawyer who occasionally makes Fonzi type movements). Michael Sera actually got his first role in this show playing Michael's son ( and everyone always says " I didn't know he was in this!"). You'll fall in love, promise.
