The critics love it, the award shows constantly recognize it's merits and it has a true cult following.
Which part of this equation does Fox not get? Sure am glas they have been busy promoting Pamela's mammaries in her oh-so-incredible show 'Stacked.'
PS - That was me being facetious Foz guys; it appears you have troubles discerning humour...
I cannot fathom the gonads of execs who make decisions like cancelling a fantasticly intelligent out outrageously hilarious series to make room for repeats of a show which appears to only have one season in it's formula.
Makes me sick that an Emmy winning show can be lost in the shuffle of the pap over the airwaves currently...
I'll never understand why this isn't one of FOX's flagship shows rather than a show that they refuse to promote and almost act as though they are ashamed to have. If this show got half of the marketing that Prison Break, Stacked or any of the other garbage that they usually show, then it might have a chance.
If we're lucky, maybe AD can pull a Taxi-type move and change networks and become even more successful.
This is without a doubt the funniest show on TV right now. I understand it has a specific target audience, but preempting it for baseball for a month isn't going to help attract new viewers. Give it a chance!
You have got to be kidding, Fox! People, responsible for scheduling and promoting Arrested Development should be fired! Fox doesn't deserve to live if they can't recognize that true ingenuity is better than overinflated breasts or pukefest such as Prison Break or War at Home. BOYCOTT FOX!
How can you lose a brilliant, funny, passionate 1/2 hour of television every week? Who cares about the ratings? Think about the re-runs, the DVD sales, and the spin-off potenial.
Consider this, Fox still benefits from DVD sales of it's show Millenium. Imagine that...AD could live on for years in digital media, with full, money-making potential.
Please save this art comedy, and appreciate the audience. We, like the show, are quirky and unique. We might be small in number, but we buy DVD's and create buzz.
So let's see. FOX gets Firefly, screws that up and cancels it. The show is a hit. FOX cancels Family Guy TWICE before finally figuring out how popular the show is. And now after a 3 week layoff for baseball and then pushing back the return date to air more Prison Break, FOX wonders why no one tuned in. Maybe's it's because you didn't air the show for a month and didn't tell anyone, you were too busy promoting Stacked. You'd think 12 Emmys in 2 years would be worth something, apparently not to FOX.
You have the best comedy on the air since "Seinfeld" and you move it around, take it away from your Sunday audience which would appreciate it more. In the end, I hope someone picks it up and makes every executive at Fox that thinks this show couldnt be the biggest thing on TV miserable for the rest of his or her days.
Arrested Development is not only the funniest tv show on the face of the planet, but it is also my FAVORITE show! I bought the first season after seeing one episode. Please don't do this to me!

Arrested Development is the smartest show to ever make its way to the tv screen. To cancel it would be ruinous to the world of television, and a travesty to the world of entertainment.
please don't get rid of the show. i Love it and you guys are goping to get alot of hate mail from getting rid of the show. This is the best comedy out there sincethe show Friends ended.
Funniest (and smartest) show on TV. A sorry state of affairs if Arrested Development is cancelled and the rest of the drivel on television just keeps coming.
Almost everyone I know watches AD. This show is to sitcoms what Seinfeld was ten years ago and it didn't break wide open until it's fourth season. Please continue to foster this show and give it some more time to grow.
I don't watch TV much, and when some friends forced me to sit down and watch this show, I immediately set my DVR to record it. It needs to be given a better chance and a better slot, it is destined to succeed. The show is addicting! Keep it on!
Every show I have ever loved has gotten cancelled soon after. I just started watching this show when I saw the first season on DVD a month ago, I was able to see the second season and the first three episodes of the third just before it returned at the beginning of November. I was very excited to see it come back to Fox and will be very sad to see it go.
PLEASE, don't kill this show. I just became a fan four months ago, and have bought both the first and second seasons on DVD. I can't imagine why anyone would want to take a gem such as this away from television.
Please do not cancel Arrested Development!! It is one of the best shows on TV. I hope that you all get some GOOD SENSE and save this innovative, smart, funny show!!
I will never fall in love with another show if AD is killed off. Yet crap like Will and Grace, Two and a Half Mean, and all them CSI's are running rampant. Hell Only thing I watch is..Football, Curb your enthusiasm, Arrested Development, The Office and My Name is Earl. Other then that. TV sucks. Dont kill my favorite Show, and I wont have to stop tuning into fox. Not like I care about NFC games anyway.
Arrested Development is the smartest, funniest sitcom in years. It would be a shame to cancel this show. Learn from your mistakes with Family Guy. Give AD a better time slot.
You are currently getting ready to film a pilot called Genetically Yours which reads like a Seinfeld rip-off, and then you cancel one of the truly original voices in sit-com writing. NBC built it's old reputation on "quality shows", you have a prestigious show here, and still you cancel it. STUPID !!!!!!!!!
Build some hype, run some reruns of the first two seasons, or release torrents of the first two seasons for free so that people know what the show is all about. Then give the 3rd season a better time slot, som decent advertising, and sit back and watch the funniest show on television rolling in the money for you.
Arrested Development is an amazing show. Historically, FOX has brought us some of the best shows on television... only to cancel them soon after. Firefly, Futurama,... and now they are threatening Arrested Development. Let's not keep repeating the same mistake, save our show!
This is one of the few intelligent shows on television right now. Bring it back and while you're at it cancel According to Jim, Hope and Faith, the George Lopez Show, etc. etc.
Please Fox, don't make the same "Firefly" mistake again. This is a great show that is truly unique and deserves any spot in a television lineup that is overstuffed with reality tv and laughtracks.
