Remember Arrested Development?
The cult hit was easily one of the funniest shows ever created and starred future film heavyweights Michael Cera and Jason Bateman. Then you threw in Will Arnett, David Cross, Jeffery Tambor, Tony Hale and it got insane. The show ended after 3 seasons with a spectacular finale and there have been consistent talks and 'non talks' about making a movie. Well for those that miss it so much, there happens to be something to wet your Development appetite in the form of a new show from Arrested Development creator Mitchell Hurwitz.
Hurwitz brings along Will Arnett and David Cross for this new comedy that has once again joined the ranks of promising shows given the Ax by tasteless networks.
Arnett played Steve Wilde, the sheltered, spoiled, narcissistic, playboy son of a billionaire oil tycoon. However he's not quite satisfied despite having everything material in the world because of the girl who got away, Emmy Kadubic. (Keri Russel) But Emmy happens to be a radical environmentalist whose been living in the Amazon with her daughter Puddle (Stefania Owen) and fiancée Andy (David Cross) thus proving to be a challenging target.
Emmy and Puddle end up staying with Steve in his treehouse (Emmy's insistence) so that Puddle may have some kind of a normal education. Well as normal as a kid named Puddle can have. The show is centered around the thinly veiled sexual tension plus mutual stubbornness of Steve and Emmy with each trying to convert the other to their lifestyles, and comical appearances by Andy who despite being engaged to Emmy never really has a chance.
The great cast is highlighted by the secondary roles of Wilde's servants Mr. Lunt (Robert Michael Morris) and Migo. (Mel Rodriguez) Both have cared for Steve all his life and subtly steer him away from his reckless behavior, but still are enablers. Particularly Migo since Steve tends to arbitrarily throw brand new items away (Laptop, coffee maker) and it goes straight to Migo's family. As does sizable amounts of leftover money Steve gives Migo due to not knowing what regular things actually cost.
It was a fun ride (8 episodes) while it lasted. C'est la vie. I'm confident however that we have not seen the last of Will Arnett and David Cross.
