I was just done with a TV show and was not in the mood to start something new. Bored, I decided to re-watch the first episode of Arrested Development.

The idea struck me out of the blu.th show left me in awe of the actors perfectly portraying the family. All of them were perfect for their respective roles.

So here it is, a brief summary of all the lovable characters from the show (this is an unordered list, it’s not like, this is a final countdown) :

Ron Howard is not only the narrator, but also, the executive producer of AD. He uses his beautiful mind to deliver the perfect narration this show deserves. He is funny, well-paced and doesn’t seem to be in any rush. He was unapollogetically good till episode 13 of season 3. Once he got on-screen, the magic faded. (PS – I didn’t quite enjoy season 4) Bateman plays the role of Michael Bluth. Michael is the President of the Bluth company. He is tired of his greedy and stupid family and is always seen making plans to escape to Phoenix only to find out his plans have turned to ashes. Michael’s son’s character is played by the super good Michael Cera. We tend to love this character cuz innocence is his biggest appeal. Will Arnett plays G.O.B., Michael’s older brother. His performance is truly magical and is unparalleled in the show-bees. One thing I can’t lego of is the fact that this guy is my second favorite Batman actor. Christian, Will, Ben. (hur?). Tony Hale single handedly manages to make Buster Bluth’s character the most lovable one. Buster is Michael’s youngest brother. Buster is a mama’s boy and he knows it. Hale can neither be seen nor heard in most scenes, but wherever he is present; his performance has been off the hook. Portia de Rossi plays the rich and the generes wife of Tobias Funke. She is Michael’s sister. She is known to host fundraises and parties. Also, she is very pretty. She definitely can keep our hands off our play buttons. Jessica Walters plays Lucille Bluth, Buster’s mom. Coincidently Busters girlfriend is called Lucille two. Lucille B is neither a perfect wife nor a perfect mother. She is just a hot mess. The Korean child adopted by Lucille, doesn’t speak anything other than his name (like a poke-mon). He is a very Annoying Jeffrey Tambor plays George senior. Michael’s father. His business policies are saddam corrupted that he is in jail most of the time. But Tambor does such a brilliant role even from prison that, by the end of season 1 he gets his very own Oscar too. I’ve seen some of David Cross’ stand up. I am a fan, but I’ll try not to sound too bias. He is the queen of the show. He bleu our minds as the failing actor. His tongue in cheek humour often leads him to be assumed to be gay but there is no proof that he’s a poof. Maybe, there is one more member in the family. Maybe not, maybe f**ck you. Let’s not depart from the topic. Surely there has to be! Alia Shawkat as Maebe Funke is surely smart, brilliant and sarcastic and maybe funky too! Barry Zuckercorn is the best f*cking attorney. Henry Winkler’s brilliantly fresh performance leaves us in a happy daze. There are a lot of Mexicans too. There is Lupe, the housekeeper. Marta, the girlfriend. Remember the episode with Marta and her man? Oh! That was hilarious. (Too obvious maybe?) Pokemon name: Steve Holt, Type: Ground, HP 150.

This is my summary of our lovely, easy to love and easier to hate characters.

PS- I have placed a few hidden in-jokes and references and puns about Arrested Development, trying to emulate the type of humor used on the show. Try to find all of them if you can.
