This is one of the weaker entrants in this Philosophy series. Repetitive and weakly imbued with the humor that’s present in other books in the series. Bit of a disservice to the funny brilliance of the subject, Arrested Development.

I love Arrested Development, so I was going to at least enjoy some of the book. At the very least recalling various quotes and scenes along the way would make me laugh. However, where other ______ and Philosophy books have so many possible philosophical elements of the show to tap into, Arrested Development and Philosophy is a bit more limited in that regard. There was some interesting stuff in there, but not nearly as much as some other books from the series that I've read (Lost and Philosophy, Battlestar Galactica and Philosophy, Simpsons and Philosophy).

This seems to be a polarizing book. It has a meh rating but a lot of 1-star reviews. I'm not sure why. This book isn't amazing, but I can't think of anything particularity wrong with it either. It's a collection of essays on various philosophical topics that all relate to Arrested Development. This books isn't written for actual philosophers and most of the essays are fairly simple, but I enjoyed a lot of them. There were some duds, but for the most part they were all enjoyable. I even laughed a few times, though admittedly that was because the author reminded me of a hilarious AD gag. I doubt I'll ever re-read this, but I think I'll read some other collections from this series.
