It's all about marketing. I barely ever see commericals for it, and when I do them it makes arrested development look to be, well...boring. I mean, Charlese Theron! She's hot property right now and is there even a mention? let's do this together Fox.
This is, far and away, the best thing that has happened to network comedy in the last decade. It is also, unquestionably, my favorite comedy of all time. If this show gets cancelled I will have no reason to watch television. FOX, PLEASE DON'T KILL THIS SHOW.
I don't understand how they can consider cancelling the show, just when the ratings started getting better. If they're going to cut us off in the middle of an arc, I'm going to scream.
Arrested development is the best show on television today. Fox may still have The simpsons and Family Guy, but without Arrested Development it will be nothing but Bush league. Re-new Arrested Development Fox, or you will be in a world of pain.
Remember Seinfeld. Please have some guts and stick with it. America is dumb and needs time to understand real comedy. This might end up being the most amazing sit com EVER. Oh, by the way, I'm a 27 year old COO with major purchasing power. But I only have one Neilson box.
Arrested Development has given us two years of great laughs, don't stop now. Maybe if you'd show some re-runs now and then more people would watch the new ones.
If "Arrested Development" is canceled, I will never watch FOX or its affiliates again, bitterly concluding 12 years of loyal viewership. How's that for a threat?
Please Please Please Please Please Please Please I am BEGGING you, FOX. Keep making this show. There has to be a way to make this work that doesn't involve constantly reducing each season's episode order and pulling it off the air unpredictably. This is the BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION, you simply MUST NOT cancel it!!!
If this show gets cancelled, you folks at FOX may have committed the biggest crime in the history of television. Yeah, and I'm including you guys airing "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire" and "Playing it Straight." Seriously FOX. DON'T DO THIS!
Grrrr.
This show is great!
But the networks want dull bland "safe" shows that have no originality, have intellect, and are for very stupid people. Just ask Jim Belushi.
Save this show, or sell it to HBO.
I will not watch Fox ever again when this show is cancelled. It's happened too ****ing much before. Where shall I begin? Undeclared, Greg The Bunny, Andy Richter Controls The Universe, Family Guy, FIREFLY....I think I've made my point.Ratings systems are ****ed up and retardedly flawed anyway.
Fox is the reason people don't want to create tv shows anymore. We all know they'll get cancelled if the first ****ing episode doesn't pull in 12 million to the station that's never been number one. To paraphrase G.O.B., "Fuck you, Fox."
Please, please do not let this show die. Let us Americans with a decent sense of humor have this one show. Or will you cast us to the wasteland of the King of Queens and According to Jim. Don't let this great show die.
We need two petitions, one to bring back one of the best shows on television, and one to make sure it's scheduled at a time where the World Series (admittedly, the best sporting event in the free world) doesn't fragment the schedule.
Arrested Development is the first good quality show in years.. It's nice that Fox doesn't take care of things like that. Notice how much advertising Stacked gets, compared to how much Arrested gets? I'm tired of good shows being mistreated by Fox.
Fox, if you cancel this show I vow not to watch ANYTHING you show other than NFL football. This is not a threat, this is a promise.
If you want to be #4 forever, then go ahead and cancel this show. You'll deserve what you get.
