Created by Mitchell Hurwitz, Arrested Development is a comedy that spanned three years and three seasons. It features Jason Bateman as Michael Bluth, the middle son of George Bluth Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor), a former CEO who gets thrown in jail for defrauding investors and gross spending of the company's money for personal expenses. The company is passed on the hands of his wife, Lucille (Jessica Walter) who later on passes it to her incapable youngest son Buster (Tony Hale). With no one else to turn to for help, Michael takes hold of the company and at the same time is tasked to keep the wealthy yet dysfunctional family together.
