Come on Fox...the show wins and Emmy and you cancel it the next year?!? Perhaps you did an AWFUL job of marketing it. Emmy winner doesn't deserve Monday night. This is by far, without a doubt, the most brilliantly written and delivered comedy on television in years.
PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT OFF THE AIR!!
I get that hte ratings suck, but it's an Emmy winner...take a step back and look at how you can better market the show before you hastily nix it.
Fox, don't let AD be the next Family Guy...remember how you cancelled it only to bring it back because it's one of the most popular shows on TV right now? Save yourself the time and effort and just keep it on.
This is a brilliant show and people do watch, but putting it with Kitchen Confidential? please! Don't be stupid! Its a critical darling. If you air it, they will watch.
Please keep Arrested Development on the air, FOX! It's your only good show. There is nothing special in Stacked, Prison Break, or whatever other show there is on your station. I will not watch FOX if AD is gone. I will NOT watch TV!!
This is hands down the funniest show on television. Just because people in middle America cant follow it doesn't mean that the rest of us should suffer. Ignore the Nielsen Ratings and keep it on the air. Taking it away would be an injustice!
While I can understand the dilemna of supporting a show with lousy ratings, it is still the funniest comedy on TV. Take a chance. You have made cancellation errors before: Firefly, Profit. This will be another one.
This show is the only good show on Fox. Forget the stupid teen drama shows and the incredibly stupid show s about some idiot breaking out of prison. This is the show to keep on air!!! Please give it another chance!!!!
I tape the show, watch it multiple times. Have parties where we watch the show. We are watching. We all know Neilson is a terrible barometer. We are watching! I would give my left hand for it!
Jeezus FOX. How dumb can you be? No-one knows how the new media revolution is going to effect broadcast networks and ad pricing, and you've got a hot property that engenders passionate response from its highly educated, affluent fan base, and you can't wait to get rid of it. Damn your dumb.
PLEASE! Do not take this kick ass show off your line-up! It is the highlight of my week, and though that sort of makes me sound pathetic, AD rocks. It's hilarious. I can't believe you're keeping Stacked, but not AD. That does NOT look good on you.
The show is great, but that's not enough to make a relatively new show successful. Fox needs to PROMOTE IT!! I would frequently miss shows just because I would forget when it was on. The smart viewers that the show attracts are usually intelligent in "real life" too... with busy schedules and a lot going on, i.e. people need constant reminders of what to watch... especially when so many other shows are competing for viewers' attention with promotions, etc.
If you are looking to cancel a show, take The Simpsons (a show that I have loved for years but has clearly outrun it's comedy life) and KEEP Arrested Development!! This is the ONLY show your network has on right now with any substance. Funniest show on tv...period!
This is one of very few shows worth watching in a wasteland of moronic, contrite, redundant sitcoms and so called dramas... please please do not cancel this show... Seinfeld had the same number of viewers as AD but was given a chance to find an audience and the same will happen for AD with time and better marketing from FOX this show we'll be the next iconic sitcom if given a chance.
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is a show that will go down in TV history as one of the best ever, I cannot say the same thing for Prison Break, Stacked, The War at Home, Trading Spouses, Reunion, and almost every other show Fox chooses to promote instead of AD.
Perhaps the fault doesn't rest with the makers of the show, but, rather, with the marketer of the show. It's the best on television, it's the best I've seen in a while.
Arrested Development is one of the most original and funny shows made in the past few years. Taking it off the air is a stupid decision. KEEP IT GOING PEOPLE!
Please keep Arrested Development alive! This is the best show on television! Always laugh out loud funny and intelligent. America is a better place for having Arrested Development on TV.
Are you kidding me FOX?!! You idiots don't know what to do when you have a good show on your hands. It surprises me anybody pitches you anything but reality shows for fear of you f'ing it up.
Please do not be deterred in pursuit of quality programming at your network. Skillful comedy is as necessary as thoughtful, provocative drama for which FOX is increasingly known. The viewing audience needs balance in programming options; we cannot live on crime drama and reality alone! Your careful consideration is greatly appreciated.
Seriously, this is one of the most perfect shows on Television. I understand that its likely not making enough money, but schedule it right! If they don't know what to do with it, let NBC buy it up and put it on with "Earl" and "Office." It would be the best hour and a half on TV! There's always money in the banana stand...
The character name of "Bob Loblaw" is funnier and more clever than anything on any other FOX show in the past three years. (and probably more) But nevermind, make room for MORE trading spouses!!!
I know that since I live in Toronto, my viewing habits don't figure into U.S. ratings and since I don't have a Nielson box I can't have a direct impact on rating, but I am a loyal viewer who is hoping to continue enjoying this great show for the foreseeable future. And if you think that will preclude me from buying the DVD you are incorrect as I do own the 1st and 2nd seasons and plan on buying all future seasons as well.
