Arrested Development — Owen Burke

Fox's critically acclaimed show starring Jason Bateman and Jeffrey Tambor is touted as one of the best programs on television, with five Emmy wins for Outstanding Comedy Series, Writing, Directing, Casting, and Editing. Now fans will get an even more intimate look at the Bluths in this collected history of the family and their foundering real estate empire. Like a guided tour through one of their model homes, this family album reveals the truth about a not-so-model family. With unlimited access, the book traces the rise and fall of George Bluth, Sr., who created his vast empire with a single frozen banana stand on Balboa Island in 1953, was arrested by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2003 for defrauding investors and using the company as his personal piggy bank, and is now a fugitive from the law, being harbored by his son Michael and grandson, George-Michael, in the attic of their model home without the knowledge of the rest of the family. Part episode guide and part family portrait, Arrested Development: The Book captures the hilarity of the series in words and pictures and provides a detailed look at the highly dysfunctional yet irresistible Bluths.
