"Arrested Development" was a great show that should have never been cancelled.
Unfortunately, I'm partially to blame as I did not start watching it until it was on it's way off the air. Shame on me and everyone else that didn't realize how great it was before it was too late. I kick myself everyday for not giving it the chance it deserved when it first hit the airwaves.
On a more positive note, the DVD's are really cheap.
Then again there are only three seasons to buy, so we're back to square one.
I recently watched the series again from start to finish after a friend mentioned Bob Loblaw on his facebook status. (insert shout out to this person here.)
Now, here I am once again wanting more. (take back shout out from not-aforementioned person here)
Sure, the deleted scenes, bloopers, and commentary helped fill the void for a while. But now there is nothing else to do but wait a few months before watching it from start to finish yet again.
There is one secret hope I carry with me.
As some of you may or may not know "Family Guy" was cancelled after 2 seasons, only to be brought back because Fox realized it had made a grave error by taking it off the air. Wellllll, Arrested Development was also on Fox. And Fox, as we all know, can't seem to bring very many good shows to the mix . . . like ever . . . I mean, they have like 2 popular shows . . . and they cancelled one of them (as mentioned before) only to bring it back. Seriously, who's running this Network?
Do you get where I'm going with this?
How about now?
Fine!
What if they decided to bring it back! Oh what a day that would be.
There is talk of a movie. Sure it would be nice, but would it be enough?
I don't think so. I want episodes upon episodes, seasons upon seasons! I mean if "The Simpsons" is still on the air after 20 years, why not "Arrested Development"?

Best. Show. Ever.
Finally, someone who appreciates Arrested Development like I do! I've watched my series of DvDs countless times.
Honestly, Fox has a lot to gain by bringing it back. Counting you, I now know at least... TEN people who would be ecstatic about it. That's gotta be worth it.
The only problem is... Fox is run by idiots.
BOB LOBLAW.
COOCOOCACHAW!
the series will forever remain in our hearts, if not on the silver, er, tv screen.
thanks for the shout!

Cofo - I think I might know as many as TEN people as well, that's like TWENTY people! There's no way they can turn us down. I say we take this to the studio!
Anonymous - indeed it is.
Eric - i love the chicken imitations. I think Lindsey Bluth's is my fav though.
fox only likes call-in-vote-reality-talent programs they can run multiple times a week that people will watch live so their stupid coworkers won't spoil the endings the next day.
what i don't get is why a cable network didn't pick up AR. it has a great following. but now the actors all have new projects/movies. i heard there was one holdout on the film and i'm thinking it was michael cera.
recently H and i started watching How I Met Your Mother from the beginning and we've eaten up the first three seasons in a matter of a few weeks. it's surprisingly funny, considering it's on the same network as Two And A Half Men. After that we're going to try That '70s Show.
and by AR i meand AD.
Cadiz - Michael Cera? Really? When i look at his IMDB, it's under his filmography.
I've watched how I met your Mother a few times and I liked it, maybe I should rent the DVD's.
