Arrested Development--one of the greatest comedies in the history of television--went out in a blaze of glory. The truncated final season packed more biting humor per minute than ever before. In only 13 episodes, dozens of intertwining storylines spun in all directions: In addition to the overarching story about the fractious infighting of the Bluth family and the family's housing development company being investigated for treason in Iraq (a plot arc that comes to a dazzlingly surreal conclusion), the put-upon "good son" Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman, Teen Wolf Too) pursues romance with a lovely British woman (Charlize Theron, Monster) who turns out to be woefully inappropriate; swaggering magician Gob (Will Arnett, Monster-In-Law) flees from his newly-discovered teenage son while still pandering for the affection of his self-absorbed father (Jeffrey Tambor, The Larry Sanders Show); flighty Lindsay (Portia de Rossi, Ally McBeal) and her sexually blurry husband Tobias (David Cross, Mr. Show) both get the hots for the family's new lawyer, Bob Loblaw (Scott Baio, Charles in Charge); and much, much more. It's difficult to describe what makes Arrested Development so brilliant. The ensemble is uniformly superb (Jessica Walter, as the family's boozing, scheming matriarch, is particularly devastating this season) and the surprising guest stars (including Andy Richter, James Lipton, Justine Bateman, and many others) are perfectly cast; the characters' abominable behavior defies conventional television notions of "likability", yet they only grow more endearing the more you watch; the humor embraces wild slapstick and sharp satire, often within a single scene; and the nimble documentary style allows for sly glancing references to jokes and scenes from long-past episodes, rewarding devoted fans. But the key is that, no matter how screwball Arrested Development becomes, the show offers a rich, textured, and wonderfully coherent world in which these characters feel genuine, a world completely unlike the flat, plastic simulacrum offered by the average sitcom. Arrested Development was true to itself to the end. Its followers will cherish it forever. --Bret Fetzer Stills from The Third Season of Arrested Development (click for larger image)

A Piece of Comedic History You Can Not Pass On January 8, 2009
Christopher Walker (TX)
In case you didn't know, Arrested Development is one of the funniest and well-thought out shows created since the turn of the century. Sadly for this show, the channel airing it didn't appreciate it and canceled it before the show could become an even bigger success. Season 3 is the final season of this wonderful show and I can't urge you enough to buy this and watch it.
Shame it is no longer being produced October 22, 2008
Just my opinion (Somewhere, TX United States)
As wonderful as seasons One and Two. It's such a shame it is no longer being produced. It was such a smart show with some odd but very funny moments. Those who make the gossip rags of today do not vary much from some of the characters in Arrested Development. Worth having in your DVD library.
Best show ever. Not a joke. August 21, 2008
T. Hallock (Santa Barbara, CA)
If you've never seen Arrested Development, please go rent at least one season of it (or buy it) immediately. This show is incredible, and you will cry when you realize they've cancelled it.
The 21st century's greatest comedy so far August 16, 2008
A. Walzer (New Jersey, United States)
The third season of this hysterical show lives up to expectations. The show continues to blend dysfunctional family comedy with jabs at current events. (The fact that we're a few years' removed from their current events only makes it more interesting.) Season 3 is packed with guest stars, some of whom are funny (Scott Baio as Bob Loblaw - say that name out loud) and some of whom I found a little creepy (Charlize Theron as Michael's mentally-disabled love interest). Buying the DVD set is worth it, because although episodes can be found online, you're going to want to watch this show over and over, and there's no guarantee it will always be available. The special features are also cute - commentaries are by the entire cast, which makes them a lot of fun to listen to.
 Funny Show August 13, 2008
Robert B. Johnson
The Third season is pretty funny though not as good as the first or second.
