BuddyTV's running a special feature on all of the wonderfully unique families on TV. Within the feature, there's a chance to win a flat-screen TV as well as a couple of Showtime prize packages with DVD sets for Dexter season 2, Penn & Teller: BS! season 5, Californication season 1, The L Word season 5, and The Tudors season 1.
TV families always seem to be more interesting than our own. In fact, they're never normal. At one point or another, we'll all wished to be a part of some imaginary clan. Something deep inside draws us to the craziness, the tenderness or the drama. So we salute all these unique TV families.

Arrested Development the movie has always been a hot topic to fans of the critically acclaimed but short-lived FOX series. Several months ago, BuddyTV reported that a film based on the dysfunctional Bluth family is finally on the horizon, according to Jason Bateman, who plays lead protagonist Michael Bluth. But it seems that the concept has moved closer to reality with Mitch Hurwitz and Ron Howard reportedly closing deals for the project from Imagine and Fox Searchlight.
This marks the most solid Arrested Development movie update so far. In the past, there have been hints that a film based on the series was in the works with merely cast members backing it up. However, fans have rolled their eyes at every tease.

On a hot day on the boardwalk, there's no better refreshing treat than a frozen banana covered in chocolate and nuts. The "big yellow joint," as some people call it, is also a great place to score some weed, which is convenient because after you smoke you'll just get even hungrier for another frozen banana.

Two months ago, we reported that Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Henry Winkler will soon be reuniting in yet another Mitch Hurwitz's creation. At the time, however, the report revealed that their reunion won't be taking place in the much awaited Arrested Development film, which has been rumored ever since the FOX comedy was canceled. Instead, it will be on the new FOX animated comedy Sit Down, Shut Up, which is based on a live-action Australian series.
Now, Arrested Development fans will be pleased to know that a movie based on the dysfunctional Bluth family is finally on the horizon.

Jason Bateman, also known as Justine Bateman's brother and more familiar to television audiences as Michael Bluth on the now-defunct Arrested Development, is hot commodity these days. While his claim to fame has primarily been for his work in front of the camera, Bateman has been in demand of late for his skills behind the lens.
Most recently, Bateman was tapped to direct his first pilot, “Do Not Disturb,” which subsequently became the lone live-action comedy to be picked up by FOX. On the heels of his pilot directorial triumph, Bateman has just signed a first-look deal with 20th Century Fox TV that officially locks him in to produce and direct scripts for them for a year.

Raising a son as a single father can't be easy, especially when you're Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman), trying to balance fatherly duties with managing one of the most dysfunctional families ever put on TV in Arrested Development. Michael tries his hardest to be a good guy in a genetic pool infested by amorality. Though finding love is often a problem for him (unless it's with a mentally retarded British woman), Michael doesn't let that fruitless pursuit interfere with spending time with his son. Whether they're using the Corn Baller or selling frozen bananas, the Bluth boys are sure to be having a good time.

For fans of Arrested Development, the mourning process is never over. Though the high concept comedy lasted three brilliant seasons, it's hard not to feel like it was cut off far too soon. So it's always exciting to hear when a member of its talented ensemble cast gets more work.
This time it's Baby Buster's turn to get a shot at a hit as Tony Hale joins the cast of Chuck during its second season. With Chuck's successful first season, we can hopefully assume that the former one-handed man-child's time on the show will last longer than his stint on the blink and you missed it Andy Barker P.I.

In honor of Mother's Day, BuddyTV has compiled this list of our 10 favorite motherly moments.
No one should mistake Arrested Development's Lucille Bluth (Jessica Walter) for a good mother. In one episode, she goes so far as to admit “I don't care for GOB,” one of her sons. Yet in the second season, when Buster is about to be sent to the war in Iraq (which, it should be noted, she signed him up for), Lucille prays for divine intervention to keep her baby boy safe. It's perhaps the only motherly act she performs throughout the entire series, and it results in Buster having his hand bitten off (by a loose seal), but still, Lucille is too brilliant a character to leave off this list.
