{television} arrested development; season two (2004)

With George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) busting out of prison and Tobias (David Cross) running into the arms of the Blue Man Group, things have never been so bad for the put-upon Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman). But isn't that why we watch? The second hilarious season of this Emmy-winning series -- narrated by Ron Howard -- brings back all your favorite characters plus a few more, including a rival magician named Tony Wonder (Ben Stiller).

My rating: *** Funny stuff. Just as good as the first season.
