What is wrong with FOX?? This is literally the best and funniest show on television!!!! Yet the decide to keep shows like "The War At Home" and give AD the axe...what's up with that?
Fox's comedies this season are insulting at best, ignorant and unfunny at worst. (Please let The Simpson's rest in peace - it hasn't been funny in years.) Then, there is the best comedy to hit television in years, Arrested Development, and the network refuses to show it. Fox is clueless.
This show would have done better if it hadn't been scheduled on Monday nights. THAT IS, only ONE Monday night every month. How does this build an audience with such an jumbled schedule?
We can't let FOX make the same mistake they did with Family Guy - This show is superb and belongs on the airways. I feel it is the true heir to Seinfeld.
how could one possibly consider cancelling a show so highly esteemed? its ratings are poor due to fox's moving the show , interrupting it with baseball, and lack of quality lead-ins. the ratings measurments are innacurate and unfair. morons.
This is the funniest show on TV today and certainly the best comedy since Seinfeld. It deserves to stay on the air. If its not working on Fox...put it on FX...it will be their top rated show.

Arrested Development is one of the best shows on television; its demise would just be another sign of the commodification of the arts for the lousy “almighty dollar”. In a sea of banal shows, Arrested Development is perhaps the only one were the plot is not just another amalgamation of story lines resurrected from other shows, but rather a carefully and ingeniously constructed one that is always fresh and indubitably hilarious. The network should be ashamed of its selfish capitalism when and if it indeed cancels this show. The cultivation and protection of the arts is an essential measurement of the integrity of a nation. What message exactly are they trying to send? That good writing and brilliant acting is just not good enough to make it in their vapid society. Perhaps the networks should be applauding themselves for subjecting us to another predictable season of sitcom so that in between these 20 minute insults to our intelligence, the bigwigs can assure themselves a hefty pay check from the giants of industry: Coca-Cola, Wal-mart, and another sundry of automobile makers. So instead of an witty show, Americans can once again stare bleary eyed and bored so that someone else can try and shovel **** we just don’t need. I will, instead, do what I did before and just turn the damn thing off.
With shows like "War at Home" and "Stacked" still on, it only proves that cable television's audiences are far and above smarter than those of basic network. Move the show to FX, the fan base will still watch.
Since this show was put on the air, it has been the best sitcom on TV, and nothing has approached it. It's horrifying that this show has been cancelled, and that The War At Home and American Dad have been picked up for more episodes.
Are the execs at Fox upset that this show is so funny that people are wetting their pants and the only way they can wet their pants is in their $10,000 beds on their $5,000 sheets, or in their depends because they are all old geezers who don't know what good tv is?
