Well, it looks like Fox has killed Arrested Development. Who's to blame?

1. it's a fucking shame too... That show is/was brilliant

I just bought the season 1 DVD for my brother.

2. I've never understood why it didn't catch on

It's a great show, one of the best things on TV. And it's gotten so much critical praise. I just don't get it.

3. The mass TV audience doesn't "get" quirky humor

And so many great shows have died a premature death because of it. Maybe it would have lasted longer on pay cable.

[Err]

4. Maybe because it's not very funny?

5. Arrested who?

6. damn shame!

Arested Development was hilarious! One of the best sitcoms (if not THE best) on television.

7. Is it really "done"?

I think it's been cancelled about three times so far, and has come back each time.

8. Love the show.

Sorry to hear it's ending.

9. Because their marketing and PR departments suck?

I did not see *ANY* of the stars of Arrested Development on the cover of any of the rags--or featured in any of the rags. Did they ever do any of the night shows? Jason Bateman, who was *very* funny on that show, and somewhat known, should have been everywhere.

I barely knew it was on, and then I never knew *when* it was on.

Ask anybody, they know what day that dumb ass show Friends was on. I didn't like that show, but I knew it was on Thursdays at 8.

10. (from a British perspective

knowing that this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Fox's decision)

The BBC deciding that Sunday nights at 11:30pm is a great time to show one of the greatest comedies of the decade so far.

11. Too smart. Waaaaaay too smart.

Brillant show though. We were lucky to get 3 seasons.

I'd LOVE to see it picked up somewhere else. It'd be terrific on HBO/Showtime (even though I'd have to download the episodes then...)
