The Bluth family returns for another season of life after credit cards, in this revolutionary award-winning comedy. Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) is the voice of reason in the midst of a blue-blood clan of crazies who have become acclimated to the life of luxury due to the fortune earned by patriarch George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) in the tract-housing business. When George is arrested on charges of tax fraud, however, the family's assets are frozen, and the resulting life of relative poverty proves difficult in many unexpected ways. Matriarch Lucille (Jessica Walter) is an emotionally stunted alcoholic, who in season two hires a bounty hunter to find George Sr., who has run off to Mexico--maybe. The Bluth siblings include Lindsay (Portia de Rossi), a socialite whose multitude of causes serves to further her own social career; Gob (Will Arnett), a womanizing illusionist; and Buster, a mama's boy who spends his time pursuing a nebulous career as a grad student. Lindsay is married to Tobias (David Cross), an out-of-work actor and former doctor whose sexuality remains undefined. Michael, in addition to tending to the foibles of his siblings, spends much of his time trying to be a good dad to his earnest 14-year-old son, George Michael (Michael Cera). Season two also sees Buster joining the Army, Lucille getting tricked into rehab, and the Bluth Banana Stand getting rebuilt, while Lindsay's antidepressants turn out to have hallucinogenic properties.
A camera crew from the TV Land awards comes to the Arrested Development Set in order to shoot the cast "in action" and collect a series of candid interviews. The crew wants to determine just where this new series fits into the long line of classic series' that TV Land holds in such high esteem. But once the cameras are rolling we discover that someone has called Will Arnett "Barney Fife", Jason Bateman thinks he's "Aunt Bee" and Michael Cera is "into" younger women on television (think "Full House'.) Throughout, the hardworking crew is doing their jobs and eating tray after tray of fresh out of the oven cookies. And out in the trailer there is a strange smell coming from Will Arnett's trailer. What did Jason Bateman do in there?
