Arrested Development (TV Series) (2003) is a critically acclaimed comedy series that aired from 2003 to 2006, with subsequent seasons in 2013 and 2018, spanning 5 seasons and 76 episodes. The show garnered a Golden Globe and 5 Emmy Awards, including the title of best comedy TV series in 2004. The narrative centers around Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman), a widowed man striving to be a devoted father to his 13-year-old son, George Michael (Michael Cera). After being overlooked for a partnership at The Bluth Development Co., Michael decides to leave the family business to spend more quality time with his son. However, when his father, George Bluth Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor), is arrested for dubious accounting practices and the family's assets are frozen, Michael is compelled to stay in Orange County to assist his eccentric family in rebuilding their lives. With his father incarcerated, Michael reluctantly takes on the role of guiding his unconventional family through financial hardship. The Bluth family is led by the flamboyant Lucille Bluth (Jessica Walter), a socialite who finds herself without funds to maintain her lavish lifestyle. George Oscar Bluth II (Will Arnett), the eldest son, is a struggling magician seeking a real job. Buster Bluth (Tony Hale), the youngest brother, is a neurotic graduate student with an array of unusual academic pursuits. The siblings include Lindsay Funke (Portia de Rossi), known for her extravagant parties and unusual charity fundraisers, and her husband Tobias (David Cross), a former doctor with a penchant for performing CPR on unsuspecting tourists. Lindsay and Tobias are the permissive parents of Maeby (Alia Shawkat), a rebellious 14-year-old. Michael agrees to return to his job and invites Lindsay and her family to live with him and George Michael at his father’s housing tract, where he must navigate the challenges of keeping his family together amidst financial turmoil.
