I must say, this is one of the funniest shows ever. The plot twists are very creative, the acting is great, and the pacing is really good. I find myself lauging out loud at a lot of the jokes and funny situations, which is rare for me. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0000867\/\">Jason Bateman<\/a> does a great job at being the straight man, and the other actors are so off-the-wall and hilarious that I can only imagine there are hours and hours of bloopers and cut scenes of them breaking character and laughing at eachother. My favorite character so far is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/gallery\/ss\/0367279\/Ss\/0367279\/6475600_2_10.jpg?path=pgallery&#038;path_key=Cross,%20David%20(II)>Tobias<\/a>, because he is so bizarre yet innocent. There are some great guest appearances by Clint Howard, Liza Minelli, and The Fonz, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0001787\/\">Jeffrey Tambor<\/a> is great as the patriarch of the family. He has been around forever; I think I first saw him in Three&#8217;s Company. I am having a blast watching this series, although I stayed up watching til 2am the other night, and it killed me the next day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend Chris is letting me borrow his boxed set of Season One of Arrested Development.
