Removing this show would be akin to removing "Married with Children" in its infancy. If FOX feels the need to remove this show then I truly believe that we now have the Big Four, not the Big Three and the Little One. Corporate programming sucks!
This is the best sitcom on tv right now...and probably the best one in years. Remember...even Seinfeld struggled to find an audience. Don't make a mistake.
"Cheers" and "Seinfeld" needed time to find an audience, too, and look how those shows turned out. "Arrested" is hands-down the funniest show on TV right now, and they need time to grow. How about next season airing it after "The Simpsons" instead of against "The Sopranos" (or whatever HBO show is on), "Alias," and "Law & Order: CI." And that way, FOX will have the funniest hour of television maybe EVER!!!
Best show since HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm and BBC's The Office. Possibly the only reason to watch network TV, other than the Simpson's and repeats of Seinfeld.
One of the funniest shows to hit the air lately. I hate the fact that we have to petition to keep an intelligent, funny show on the air, while reality shows spring up like dandelions year round.
This is the best show on television. Well written and well acted. Much better than those ridiculous reality shows. Please keep ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT on the air.
I am a 36 year old female, stay at home mom. This is the only Fox show I really watch Besides watching FNC daily. This is the funniest show, it makes my day. Please give it a chance.
It will be a travesty if this show is cancelled. With all of the ignorant shows that are on the air, can't you keep at least one smart funny show around?
This is one of the best shows ever, I can't remember an episode that didn't make me laugh 'til my stomach hurts. Please, please, please keep it ON the air, it's crazy to even think about cancelling it.
It's great to see a sitcom with the annoying laugh track. Bring it back please! Justice (the seeing eye dog) is blind...let's hope the Fox execs aren't too.
Bar none, this is the best show on TV right now. It reminds me a lot of (by its similar high acclaim and marginal ratings) NewsRadio, which has gathered quite the cult following in syndication. Even if AD never becomes as big as Seinfeld, isn't it worth keeping on such a high quality show that many (including myself) have become so attached to so early on? Doesn't American Idol make enough money to make up for a few other shows that don't do as well? A lot of people are mentioning other shows that have been cancelled such as Andy Richter, Undeclared, Futurama (which had a pretty good run before it got cancelled), Firefly, Titus, or Family Guy, and as good as some of those shows may have been, let's just be honest here: Arrested Development is far better than all of them. It's the most clever and consistently hilarious show to come around in years. Please don't take it away. You can keep throwing new series against the wall to see if they'll stick, but you won't find another one this good for many, many years.
I hope some other network does pick it up and really show Fox how stupid they are. I won't watch anything else on Fox ever - how many American Idols can we take?
If FOX cancels this show i think they will need some new execs who know something about good television....my only hope is some other network will pick it up and give it the chance it has earned
SAVE this show. I am tired of seeing FOX cancle good show after good show. First Titus than Family Guy than Futurama. This show can not go. I am tired of seeing freak show reality TV I really miss quality scripted TV. Please keep this show on.
This is the best show on TV. Unfortunately it is being wasted in a very competitive time slot. With the right care this show can be the next Seinfeld! Give it a real chance!!!!!! I cant watch the rest of the Reality Garbage on TV!
With The Simpsons not being as good as it once was, and Malcolm not getting many laughs from me, Arrested Development is the only reason I turn FOX on Sunday nights. I truely believe that this show along with Bernie Mac are you two best comedies and it would be too sad to lose one of them!
Arrested Development is a delightfully original show whose unique nature might mean it will take time to catch on, but will ultimately result in a large fan base. Don't give up on it so easily.
Was just watching the Sports Night box set, another smart, funny, unique, intelligent show that was cancelled early in life. Isn't it the smart people who like these shows that have the jobs and disposable income that the advertisers find so dear? We just don't have Neilsen boxes. Idiots.
