Why Arrested Development is just the greatest show ever.

#1. It's absolutely ridiculously, yet brilliant at the same time.
From Tobias' never-nudism, to Buster getting his hand taken of by a seal, to George Michael being named George Michael, to Lucille Bluth's permanent drunkenness. This show contains the most ridiculous scenario's you could possibly imagine, but they are so brilliantly well-written it's impossible to not be taken in by it.
#2. The cameos & supporting characters.
The cameos & supporting roles within this show are pretty freaking incredible and are played by several familiar faces such as:
- Henry Wrinkler, playing their extremely unhelpful lawyer.
- Liza Mennelli, playing the love interest of two of the Bluth boys and Lucille's ultimate rival.
- Charlize Theron as a mentally-not-quite-there potential wife for Michael Bluth.
- Amy Poehler as the accidental wife of Gob Bluth.
- Carl Weathers playing an exaggerated version of himself.
- Judy Greer as George Senior's insane assistant/ mistress.
- This list goes on and on...
#3. The acting.
I think this is something that is very easily forgotten, given the writing and crazy plot lines of the show. But the acting is pretty damn good. The actors effortlessly pull off their roles and make the ridiculousness come off as believable, which I think is actually pretty incredible. From Lindsay's next-to-no conscience and Buster's general wackiness, the entire cast are highly talented actors.
#4. It's just so damn quotable.
This is just one of those shows from which you'll take away millions of quotes.
This show is just so incredible. It's dry humour and documentary style filming has paved the way for several current day comedies and it's not hard to see the influence of it on mainstream comedy programs.
This series encompasses everything that a tv show should have. It has humour, heart, family, insanity and at the very centre an actual relatable storyline. I mean in someway we can all find a little bit of ourselves in each of these characters. As far fetched as that sounds, I mean in Lindsay's need for love (gosh that sounds so cheesy but you know it's true), Tobias' soul searching efforts, Maeybs' rebellion, George Michael's innocence and hope for a better life, Michael's need for stability, Buster's fear of basically everything, Lucille's need for recognition, Gob's search for purpose and George Senior's- well I don't really know the moral's are there but I'm sure theres something.
If you want a tv series that tick's all the boxes then this is the one for you.
Be prepared to fall in love, and then cry when it's over.
The only shit thing I could say about this series is that's it's just way too short.
