For this discussion board, I am going to discuss how the t.v show "Arrested development" makes into the idealism of what our society considers "family". This show doesn't follow the traditional nuclear family of two parents and their children, but is more complicated involving extended family and single parents. But this show does involve some characteristics in the narrative that do relate to our idealistic notions of family. The main character Michael, is the father and the one who brings in the money for the family. His twin sister on the other hand, doesn't want to work and just wants to spend/have money. Also the parents in the episode are having a hard time adjusting to their kids growing up and do things in fear of them slipping away.
