Meet the Bluth family - rich, spoiled, dysfunctional and totally out of control! Brought to you on DVD by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment on 21st March 2005 the first season of Arrested Development is sure to sentence you to many hours of enjoyment!

Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman, Starsky & Hutch, DodgeBall), the level headed eldest son and sanest member of the Bluth family, decides to take a job in Arizona after he is passed over by his father, George Snr. (Jeffrey Tambor, Hellboy, The Grinch) to run the family company. After George Snr. is imprisoned for fiddling the company accounts, the family's financial assets are frozen and the over-indulged family members must adjust to their new financial status. However, years of spending without recrimination have left them unable to control or understand their finances. It is up to Michael to come back home and attempt to keep things together in his father's absence.

Michael's snobbish mother, Lucille (Jessica Walter, Slums of Beverly Hills) finds herself living alone in the family penthouse without the financial means to maintain it, while Michael's two brothers, George Oscar Bluth (Will Arnett, The Waiting Game) who prefers to be called GOB and Buster (Tony Hale, My Blind Brother), sister Lindsay (Portia de Rossi, Ally McBeal), her husband Tobias (David Cross, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and their daughter Mae (Alia Shawkat), also find themselves having to adjust to the new situation... without much success. It is up to Michael to make sure his siblings don't leave them bankrupt, but the rest of his wacky family make this job almost impossible... as well as unbearable!

Extremely funny with a unique brand of off-the-wall humour, Arrested Development is the only sitcom of its kind.
