It is no surprise that Arrested Development was a big hit as a magnificent sitcom . What is surpris
ing is
the abrupt end to all
the fun and wit of screen writer Mitch Hurwitz. What seemed like a brilliant pick-up at
the end of
the second
season, really ends
in a whimper with
the third. For one,
Season 3 has only
13 episodes,
instead of
the usual 22 and
there is no
Season 4.
There is of course no dearth of good fun and laughter
in those
13 episodes.
The story l
ine meanders through various hilarious situations
in the once-upon-a-time rich but currently morally depleted Bluth family, which follows its leader,
the good son Michael (Jason Bateman).
In the Season 3, misty eyed Michael f
inds his soul mate
in Rita (guest star Charlize
Theron), an attractive woman hold
ing a secret up her sleeves. As you go on watch
ing it, you might just guess
the secret and
the dramatic revelation but
the hilariously obvious clues will have you
in splits.
