Arrested Development struggled from the serial storyline in a 30 minute sitcom slot. Fox didn’t like the show and moved its airtime around, making its viewership numbers even worse.
If it had been made in the streaming era, we would have gotten six seasons and a movie

I swear Fox used to just kill shows for fun. Either that or their execs were just the emptiest suit dummies to ever work in television.
Always pour one out for Firefly

The writing on this show was too damned good. Such a great series.
