And if so, have you ever noticed how much Buster looks like Ed Witten?

Chi Meson said:One of the reasons it had to be canceled is that it could not "build" an audience. You need to get the DVD of the 1st season, and start with the long version of the pilot (they aired the shorter version of the pilot). Too many jokes require that you have seen the previous episodes. Some of the joke references in the 2nd and 3rd seasons call back to the first season. And there are lots of running jokes that are not funny if you don't watch the episodes in proper sequence.
So no one could just start watching AD and still "get it." Only 4 million viewers in the US would watch regularly, and that is a meager market share.

RocketSurgery said:Yup. But while this made the show less popular it also made it better. Just like scrubs. Most people can't fully appreciate it if they haven't been following it since day one. Luckily the owner put the episodes on hulu so everyone can see them. (It's not illegal, it's an ad supported tv website). I'd link directly to the Arrested Development page but I don't know if linking is forbidden or not. Google hulu though if you want to see it.
Arrested Development is a critically acclaimed American television sitcom that originally aired from 2003 to 2006. It follows the dysfunctional Bluth family and their mishaps after their wealthy patriarch is arrested for white-collar crime.
Arrested Development was created by Mitchell Hurwitz and originally aired on Fox. It was later picked up by Netflix for a fourth season in 2013 and a fifth season in 2018.
The main characters in Arrested Development are Michael Bluth, George Bluth Sr., Lucille Bluth, Gob Bluth, Lindsay Bluth Fünke, Buster Bluth, George Michael Bluth, Maeby Fünke, and Tobias Fünke.
Arrested Development is known for its sharp and clever writing, as well as its use of meta-humor and recurring jokes and gags. The show also features a talented ensemble cast and uses flashbacks and cutaways to add depth to the story.
As of now, there are no plans for new episodes of Arrested Development. However, the show has gained a cult following and is available to stream on Netflix, making it easily accessible for new viewers to discover and enjoy.
