The Bluth clan lives a life of excess, funded by the family credit card and paid for by patriarch George whose fortune came from the tract home development business. Oldest son George, nicknamed Gob, is an "illusionist" of minor importance who has anger management issues. Youngest son, Buster, wastes his days taking obscure graduate school courses. Daughter Lindsay is a vain socialite. The only sane family member is Lindsay's twin brother Michael, is a widower. Just as Michael decides to wash his hands of the family, he is forced to step up and aid his family in adjusting to new lives.
DVD, region 1, widescreen (16:9) presentation; Dolby Digital surround.

Very funny!
I found this series about a disfunctional (formerly) wealthy family trying to pull themselves back together hilarious. Jason Bateman (of "Valerie" and "Hancock") stars as the only responsible adult in the family and the one who must keep the business afloat when the government arrests his father for business fraud.
The show contains a lot of adult humor, particularly incest jokes, so it's not for everyone.

Boring
I watched the first three episodes of this series. I just found it a bit boring. It might be because I watched it right after I watched Lost and Firefly (two of the best action shows out there) and then watched a comedy, but I just couldn't enjoy this. I'm sorry.
Great
Another contender for the greatest comedy television show of all time. Endlessly hilarious.
