I never saw the attraction of "Arrested Development." I was surprised it even made it to a second season.
it takes a while to get into, since it's a complex story line, but it's extremely funny once you know what's going on with the story.
Another genius move by the programmers at fox. Any original, iventive comedy they get (andy richter as a previous example) will receive praise and a loyal following. However, they'll keep changing the airtimes, keep it off the air for a month or more, and then wonder why nobody is watching the show.
Meanwhile, they'll keep mindless crap like "the war at home" running in a prime spot after the simpsons.
Bunch of idiots.
I was surprised that it ran an entire first season. From my POV, it was unwatchable; although, I am finding that a lot lately, at least in sitcoms.
