Today's Character
Michael Bluth is the main character of Arrested Development. He is the straight man to his outlandish Bluth family, but he also has many peculiarities. He likes being right so much that it pains him when he is incorrect. He has trouble keeping his dating life normal, and although he prides himself on being a good parent he often misinterprets what his son is experiencing.

I wanted to but Harry is already done. Might give Marv his own round by default.

Yea, though the actor is actually better when hes not a straight man.

The contrast between his slow-burn neuroses and the overt craziness of his family is comedy gold and one of television's best character studies. He's one of my favorite fictional characters and has been for a long time.

God this is so hard, because in the first three seasons he's a perfect character and a great facilitator of his family's nonsense. He gets this automatically likability for being 10% better than the rest of the cast. Then in Season 4 and 5 it was more like he was equally bad as the rest of his family and it's just hard to watch. The end of season 5 kinda has him take the role of George Sr. where George Micheal takes the role of his father, which almost works, but it's a little rushed.

Anyway I'm thinking yes because who watches season 4 and 5 anyway
