I'm still in disbelief. Fox has the best show on TV and they're still neglecting it... If they want to pull the plug, let another network scoop this masterpiece of a show.
I refuse to sit here while FOX insults my intelligence by telling me that every single show they have is better than Arrested Development. So cancel some other show instead; there are plenty of those on FOX.
Arrested Development
is such an awesome show and it really helps me past time on Monday nights by laughing at the non-stop humor. So please don't cancel this show.
Arrested Development is an amazing show. Its funny, well-written, and is very intelligent. It'd be a shame to lose one of the only decent shows on TV today.
Please do not cancel Arrested Development! Many now-classic sitcoms, such as Seinfeld, had fewer-than-average viewers during the first few seasons. Imagine how much classic comedy we would have missed out on if those shows had been cancelled prematurely! Don't let Arrested Development die before its prime!
Please save this show it is one of the few quality programs left on television! Just because the masses don't watch it doesn't mean it should be cancelled.
Fox is so stupid! How can they cancel a smart show like Arrested and keep stupid shows like Stacked and that one with Michael Rapa however you spell his name?
I know Mitchell Hurwitz just made a comment about being surprised that the show had lasted this long, but I hope he does not give up, and shops the show around.
Matt (3831) said it, and I quote: "You cancelled Family Guy out of low ratings. Turned out everyone watched it and you didn't know. You cancelled Futurama out of low ratings. Turned out everyone watched that too." Nielsens don't mean everything. If every television had a Nielsen box, then you (FOX) would get a realistic sample of how many people watch what. However, very few people actually purchase Nielsen boxes for their televisions. This means you're only getting a disproportionate sliver of how many people watch what.
this is my favorite show on television. i think its sad that fox thinks this is a bad gig. but they have proven thru the years that there when they have something good with a great cult following they just ****ing dump it. fox - i think you should double check your self on letting this one go!
AD shouldnt be canceled, but this is stupid because online petitions do nothing- you could have one person sign 100 times and nobody would no. dont waste your time with this.
Arrested Development is among the best sitcoms that has ever been on TV. It is intelligent, and full of witt. Also, even though the Bluths are dysfuntional and often quite nasty to each other, you know they love each other and you can not help but compare their messed up lives to stretched out verison of your own lives. When Gob and Michael fight for example, it reminds me how the petty fights my sister Stacy and I had as teenagers. Fighting in public? Sure! Rivality is human nature, even though we are often taught to surpress it. That is what made episodes like the Righetous Brothers. And thinking isn't bad. Humor which makes you think shows that fans enjoy to be challenged. There are a lot of shows that settle for the easy laugh. It is great AD offered this rare exception. It would be a shame for the show's cancellation to cause it to become nearly extinct. Please, don't take our Arrested away.
It's an embarassment to the FOX network to allow such an acclaimed/award winning show finish like this.
I'm sure you're well aware of how a well made show like "Arrested Development" is, but I'm not sure you know that a lot of people watch it.
Everyone I know watches this show. Almost everyone I've met in public situations (bars, clubs, parties) watches this show. I truly find it hard to believe that it's being cancelled out of low viewership.
You cancelled Family Guy out of low ratings. Turned out everyone watched it and you didn't know. You cancelled Futurama out of low ratings. Turned out everyone watched that too.
Lots of people watch Arrested Development. Don't make the mistake of cancelling the best comedy of the last decade.
Arrested should be on Sunday, after Simpsons. If any show should be canceled, it should be the show that currently runs after the Simpsons.
Anyway, please keep Arrested Development going, it's the only show that we always make time for. Thanks.
This is the only really good show left on Fox. Everything else is either merely ok (Family Guy, King of the Hill, American Dad) or just plain terrible (everything else). If you want anyone to continue to watch Fox, DONT CANCEL ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT!!!
FINALLY the brain trust at FOX can focus its attention on relevant, funny originals like Stacked and Kitchen Confidential... oh, wait, those show totally suck. My bad. I'm taking my 24-35 year old eyes to cable, where FOX blows too.
