It was no achievement at all to watch the first three seasons of Arrested Development. It has everything a good comedy should have. The story ended nicely and I'm kind of curious of the seasons that come next. Can they get this magic back? Or are season 4 and 5 just an ill attempt to recreate something that's gone after years of being of the air. We'll see...
Season 3 is comparable to the first two seasons, but I have grown a bit tired of its flaws and don't feel any more interest in the characters than at the start of the show. There is still plenty of decent wordplay and funny moments, but I never felt a strong desire to keep watching.

Arrested Development finishes its television run with a hilarious 13 episode third season. But even with a shortened season, the show delivers in spades. Picking up where Season 2 ended, Michael tracks down his father and arranges for him to be placed on house arrest while he attempts to track down a British syndicate that set up the Bluth Company; meanwhile Gob discovers that he has a long lost son. The character plots align especially well this season, and the overall story arc is tightly woven throughout the episodes. Also, several interesting guest stars make appearances, including Charlize Theron, Dave Thomas, Judge Reinhold, and Justine Bateman. The comedy is ripe with pop culture and political satire, and the show even takes a few shots at itself. Season 3 contains some of the best that the show has to offer and sends the series out on a high note. Stars that shine twice as bright only last half as long, and Arrested Development streaked the heavens with a brilliance that’s rarely ever seen.
