Grade: B+ | Genre: Comedy
Summary: The chaos just fed on itself until the family lunacy hit fever pitch. While it was far from the best I've seen from Arrested, it was a quality set of episodes that aptly closed out this series of innovative comedy.

Quality television and ratings bonanzas rarely collide in the television cosmos. For each Lost and Desperate Housewives that prop up this universe, you have the Scrubs and Arrested Developments of this world, hording just as many Emmys while battling tooth and nail simply to make sure they have a time slot from week to week. It's hardly a fair system, but it rests on the almighty advertising dollar so its not going to change no matter how blue in the face we get. Truthfully, it's high time we relocate all the grade-A television to the cable tier of the dial anyway, giving the writers and producers the creative flexibility to push the outer bounds of fun and decency. Such is the situation devilishly funny Arrested Development finds itself after three embattled seasons at Fox. The network has finally pulled the plug on its best series after jerking its fans around all season by putting the comedy on extended hiatus and even crunching the series finale up into four episodes and planting it on a Friday night of all places. If it weren't for my priceless DVR box, I probably wouldn't have caught a single episode of season 3. Enough huffing and puffing about the evils of Fox, let's take perhaps our final look at Arrested Development.
