dantelerner With the first seasons, you'll have a great time, then, it's a waste of time. They did not think it through because such a great cast and excellent writers wouldn't have done this. Season 4 Remix is AWFUL and I would rate it 5 Season 5 is a little better so 6 Seasons 1,2,3 deserve a 9 I didn't watch Season 4 so I'll do my best and rate it 7

windsorenquirer It used to be a great show, very funny and interesting. But season 5 was unwatchable, boring and not funny, all over the place. Some characters got extremely annoying and stupid even for this silly show. I am done with it for good. Hopefully there will be no more seasons.

alreadyseenbeentaken The spineless Micheal Bluth gets fooled over and over by his mentally and socially "challenged" family members. And all is justified with this "family comes first" bs all the time. It has its funny moments and a few nice twists, but the characters are implausible, embarrassing and pathetic and the script is plain stupid. Every character is exaggerated in a way it's not funny anymore, but mostly annoying, except Micheal, Lindsay, Maeybe and perhaps Buster. But this back and forth with Micheal gets boring after 5 seasons. And none of the character develops. And Micheal still hasn't grown some b...ls after 5 seasons. Only recommended for shallow minds.

benjaminburt Arrested Development is unbelievably witty, charming, and uproariously funny. I don't think I can add much to what has already been said about it, but it is just so unbelievably enjoyable to watch. Some comedies you just set on and watch people do uncomfortable things and you might chuckle once or twice. Arrested Development isn't like that. It is so tightly-written and well-paced. It's hysterical.I can only think of two flaws - the story isn't especially compelling (what can you expect, it's a comedy show); and if you laugh a lot while watching run-of-the-mill comedy TV, this show might actually send you to the hospital.
