+135 One of the reasons Arrested Development didn't do very well rating wise was because it was ahead of its time. If it had come out a few years later in the midst of The Office, 30 Rock, Modern Family and the like, it would probably have been a much bigger hit, amirite?

Why did it get cancelled? That's one of my all time favourite shows!

I agree completely with you, it was way ahead of it's time, but the style of the show clearly set a precedent, that's why 30 rock and Modern Family are so successful

i still think it would have gone over a lot of people's heads, to be honest. it's a lot drier & even more out-there than the other shows on tv. it's not as widely accessible humor, brilliant as it is :]
