The Arrested Development Season 1 DVD disc set is a lot different from the other tv shows on DVD that a person could experience. The cinematic elements and the acting style are both unlike those which a viewer would likely see on many basic or extended cable channels or on tv shows on DVD. Instead of relying on a studio audience or other mechanism for laughs, the show is shot much like a drama. There is no backup to give the punch lines justification. Despite this, many viewers, once acclimated to the setup of the show, will enjoy the premise and the style of Arrested Development Season 1 DVD set and provide the laughs for the show easily and happily. The Arrested Development Season 1 DVD box set supplies viewers with a new and different style of comedic delivery from other tv shows on DVD, which works flawlessly on audience members.

As a result of the first season, Arrested Development was able to win the Outstanding Comedy Series Emmy. Leading up to this Emmy, viewers are introduced to the family Blurth, almost all of whom are imbalanced in some way. The central character in Arrested Development is played by Jason Bateman. Bateman acts as the family’s only normal and potentially sane son, Michael. Michael believes that he is going to soon inherit his family’s fortune and fortune-providing company, but his hopes are dashed when his father, played by Jeffrey Tambor, leaves the company to his wife (Jessica Walter) and eventually lands himself in jail for business practice problems. The family’s accounts are then frozen and no one can access the money that they are so used to having around and being able to use as they see fit.

Arrested Development Season 1 DVD discs chronicle the family’s journey through lack of money and legal woes, and goes on to include many other family members with equally odd problems and troubles - none of whom seem to actually love/like one another all that much. All of the characters have distinct and surprisingly human qualities, leaving them memorable and understandable, which also helps the series to stand out from other tv shows on DVD.

A complex show, the Arrested Development Season 1 DVD set does not just offer viewers the 22 episodes of deadpan dialogue, insane situations and comical development. Viewers can also enjoy the longer/extended pilot episode, commentaries on episodes and a featurette showing the behind-the-scenes aspects of the show. Overall, the Arrested Development Season 1 DVD disc set allows viewers to not only enjoy the show that is often difficult for people to understand at first, but it also helps people to ease into the setting and staging of the show. Once understood and processed, the Arrested Development Season 1 DVD set is one of the most enjoyable and exciting tv shows on DVD. - Christine Foley
