''Arrested Development'' follows the Bluths, a formerly wealthy, [[dysfunctional family]]. It is presented in a [[Serial (radio and television)|serialized format]], incorporating handheld camera work, [[voice-over]] narration, archival photos, historical footage and maintains numerous [[running gag]]s and [[catchphrase]]s. [[Ron Howard]] served as both an executive producer and the [[omniscient narrator]] and, in later seasons, appears in the show as a fictionalized version of himself. Set in [[Newport Beach, California]], ''Arrested Development'' was filmed primarily in [[Culver City, California|Culver City]] and [[Marina del Rey, California|Marina del Rey]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blogs.ocweekly.com/stickaforkinit/2013/05/bluth_banana_stand_tour.php |title=Sign the Petition to Bring Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand "Home:" Update |website=[[OC Weekly]] |first=Matt |last=Coker |date=May 15, 2013 |access-date=June 21, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140907074547/http://blogs.ocweekly.com/stickaforkinit/2013/05/bluth_banana_stand_tour.php |archive-date=September 7, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
