Arrested Development is a comedy about family, and while it touches on many relationships, like mother-son, mother-daughter, grandfather-grandson, brother-brother, and cousin-cousin.
But off all the family relationships the one front and center is father-son.
The father-son relationship is featured prominently in this

It's unfortunate in someways that the father-child relationship is such a ballpark for comedy.
When I go "father's day card shopping" there are so many cards that deal with "apology for not being a good son" or "I forgive you for being a bad dad," or "I wish we were closer," and so forth.
Father relationships in our current society are mediocre.

I'm thankful for having a good dad, who while comical in his own way, is very supportive and loving and far more of a Michael Bluth that a Goerge Sr, Tobias, or Gob.

I hope Father's day is a good day for you, and a pleasant opportunity to enjoy your dad. I'm thankful for my first Father's day, and an opportunity to be a dad that is worthy of the title.
