Few TV programs show the consistent commitment to smart humor as Arrested Development. Themes of awkward adolescence, awkward 30-somethings, and awkward family relationships due to an imprisoned father (hiding in the family attic while his brother seduces his wife) are turned into sharp comic fodder on a regular basis. I just finished watching the last season on DVD and the new season starts up again tonight on Fox. The cast includes David Cross (as the closeted gay man), Jason Bateman (in a very Michael J. Fox on Family Ties mode) and Portia de Rossi as well as a crew of talented newcomers. Thank god TV isn’t always this funny—otherwise I’d be forever glued to my set.
