Meet the dysfunctional Bluths....George Bluth has spent the last
year in the slammer discovering his newfound Judaism and recording
inspirational tapes, while his level headed son, Michael, spent it
picking up the pieces and trying to teach his offbeat family how to
live without an endless expense account. Michael has
also been trying to do right by his 14-year-old son, George
Michael, an earnest kid who works diligently at the family's frozen
banana stand. The Bluth family are led (astray) by their
manipulative mother, Lucille, a socialite who is as icy as her
martinis. Then there's the oldest son, GOB, a womanizer and
struggling magician (sorry, "illusionist") whose biggest trick will
be to make a real job appear. The youngest brother is Buster, a
neurotic professional grad student and glorified mama's boy (he
spent 11 months in the womb). The Bluth siblings are rounded out by
cause-obsessed sister Lindsay, who is married to the hapless
Tobias, a doctor-turned-actor who might get more work if he wasn't
a self-proclaimed "never-nude." Lindsay and Tobias are the
ultra-permissive parents of Maeby, a 14-year-old who loves finding
unique ways to rebel against their overindulgence.
