    Remember the show Arrested Development?

    Was I the only person in America that actually liked that show? I thought it was hilarious. Seriously, I think the Waynes Bros. show lasted longer than it did! I don't know, did anyone else like it?

    I can not believe this show was canceled. Not only was it my favorite show, my whole family loved it as well.
    I use to honestly think if I were rich enough, I would have hired all the actors and writers myself to just keep it going; even if I were the only one to watch.
    I can not believe some of the crap that continues to plague prime time year after year while excellent and truly funny shows get brushed aside.

    After posting I noticed you are from Ohio. I grew up in Ohio and wondered if this has something to do with why we liked the show?
    I guess we'll see if anyone else posts from anywhere else about the show.

    I feel ya. What I don't get, is that it was nominated for so many awards, there was a huge following (evidently not huge enough though), it was on at a perfect prime time slot, and yet NOBODY WATCHED IT?! Some buddys of mine that have the same sense of humor that I do never even heard of it! What the heck?

    I don't know, maybe it was just an Ohio thing.

    We loved that show, I think it was over the heads of the general public, but was one of our favorites.

    I loved the episode where the mom decided to challenge the mistress to a drinking contest for the ownership of her husbands frozen sperm.
    As a waitress was walking by her, she could not even wait for the first round to come, and just grabbed a shot from the waitresses tray and did it.
    She then mentioned it did not count as she just needed a drink that second.

    I loved when Carl Weathers was on there, "You gonna' throw that chicken bone away? Tell ya what you do.... take that bone home, throw it in a pot, pour some water in there, add some vegetables, and you got yo'self a stew! Now thats good eatin'!" ........ "Let me tell ya a secret, if you save your cup, you can take it up to the front, AND THEY GIVE YOU FREE REFILLS! isnt this place great?!...", (Tobias)"Yes, Burger King is a fine establishment CARL WEATHERS?"

    God.... I loved that show....

    That show was freakin awesome, my gfriend and I loved it. She actually sent me the first season while I was in Iraq and I think it holds a special place in my heart because anything that can take your mind of the bs over there is well worth it.

    Also I can't remember the creator's name ( The married bald guy in the show who was actually gay) but I saw him in an interview and he was just bitching at Fox about how they never promoted the show properly. Which really sucks because it is rare that you find a show with that much intelligent humor mixed with just outright stupid slapstick. It meshed perfectly.

    Oh well, we do still have The Office though.

    Great show, they replay it on a few different channels now. They're coming out with a movie, too.

    It was a pretty funny show. I think it just came out around the wrong time. People were still really into the whole reality thing when that was out. Sitcoms are slowly coming back around now.

    Yeah, that makes sense. With shows like the Office, and for a while there 30 Rock, it seems like they are coming back. Hopefully after they finish the Arrested Development movie, there will be enough demand to bring it back..... along with BJ and the Bear....
