"Arrested" DVD to Be Released, After All

It turns out that rather than make a huge mistake, Fox will release the Bluth family from their imposed jail sentence after all... at least on DVD.

TV Shows on DVD announced today that Fox Home Entertainment will release the third season of Arrested Development, the sadly cancelled cult comedy, on DVD on August 29th, a full two months after its original planned release date (June 13th).

The release will be a two-disc box set containing all of Season Three's thirteen episodes and as- yet-unnamed extras. TVShowsonDVD.com had the following information about the release:

"In this Emmy-winning comedy's hilarious third season, Michael Bluth finally realizes that it's his Uncle Oscar serving time in prison, not his father. Reluctant to spring Oscar due to the effect it may have on the family business, Michael decides the only fair thing to do is to find his father and place him under house arrest. Yet once found, George Sr. insists he was tricked into working with the Iraqis, leaving Michael no choice but to investigate his father's outrageous claim. But it isn't until Michael and Buster go to Iraq on a rescue mission to save Gob that the depth of the devious plot is revealed--and Michael learns which family member is the real brains behind all the madness."

While the reports of Arrested Development's demise have, unfortunately, been confirmed, fans of the brilliant-yet-cancelled comedy series can at least relive their third season memories on DVD. That or send some bow tie-wearing carnivorous seals to the Fox lot...
