It may take some time for new viewers to become accustomed to the style of the show, but those who take the time to get to know the Bluth family will be well rewarded. [Individual grades: Style A-, Substance A, Image B+, Audio B+, Extras A-] |

The laughs-per-minute quotient here is insanely high, making it great value as a home library purchase. |

Each of the episodes was in and of itself was a perfect gem of comedy, strung together by sharp writing and fantastic performances. |

Baltimore Sun David Zurawik
There's a lot to like in its savage satire of corporate-think, greed and sanctified notions of the American family - particularly in the inspired and original performances of Jason Bateman and Jeffrey Tambor. |

There are running gags that can't be appreciated by watching an episode of the show, but fans that watch the entire season are rewarded with brilliant writing, and excellent acting. [Individual grades: Video 9, Audio 8, Extras 3] |

It's more layered, more densely packed with bits of comedy than just about any other show on TV. |

Like Seinfeld before it, Arrested Development impressively combines cultural touchstones with an innately clever humor that avoids being too witty for its own good. |

If this DVD set delivers the laughs, it's stingy with the extras. |
