"Arrested Development" The writers had
three long seasons of imminent cancellation to ponder endings to the dozens of
story lines that this critically acclaimed ratings dud juggled every week, and
they didn't disappoint. For sheer manic lunacy, you'd be hard-pressed to find a
... moremore hilarious, head-spinning 120 minutes of entertainment than the goodbye of
the Bluth family. Appropriately enough, the series finale was actually four
episodes that FOX wanted to purge itself of, scheduled opposite the opening
ceremonies of the Olympics, no less. Still, the tiny audience that tuned in saw
George Sr. cleared of criminal charges, Gob and teenager Ann's secret
relationship, several different relatives trying to hook up with each other, the
origin of the Frozen Banana stand and Buster's final battle with the killer
loose seal. After a family appearance on "Mock Trial with Judge Reinhold"
featuring the house band "William Hung and His Hung Jury," Michael (Jason Bateman) delivered a touching, tear-filled speech upon
the realization that he was going to be stuck with his crazy family for a long,
long time. If only we were all so lucky. Close
