Arrested Development
Why...why was this cancelled? Mike got into the series while he was in kyrg and he made me buy season three for him when he got home. We've been watching season one now and it's the funniest show. =(
Ron Howard narrates it and Justin Batemen (child actor who did not kill himself) is Michael, the brother trying to hold his once very rich to now very poor family together. Their father stole from the company and is in jail, their mother is manipulative and snotty, his oldest brother Gob is a lame ass magician who cheats on his girlfriend Marta who Michael is secretly in love with, his sister is a snob who does charities to get attention and is married to Tobias, once a doctor but now an aspiring actor. They have a daughter 'Maybe' who tries and rebels against them - in fact she made out with her cousin George Michael (michael's son) to get back at them, but now George Michael is in infatuated with his cousin. (ew). Then there's Buster...he's just special.
It's hilarious, they're totally dysfuntional and it has some of the funniest writing. We figure it has a weird subtle humor that people don't get. Anyway, buy it - its hilarious.
