We all know that Christmas time is the season for family, and we know that families can be dysfunctional, but if you think your family is bad, just wait until you spend Christmas with the Bluths. “In God We Trust” does a great job of showing the sheer craziness that is the Bluth family and just how bad they all can be. The genesis of many great AD jokes start in this episode and while it’s not my favorite Christmas episode of Arrested Development, it’s still a fine episode of the show that is down right hilarious.

Official Description:
The family attorney announces that if $20,000 in bail money is raised, George Sr. can be released from prison in time for the Christmas “Living Classics Pageant.”
