It doesn’t need my help cause I’m addicted to the show. I’ll watch and re-watch the thing at will, ad nausem, and know the episode verbatim by the end of the night.
No, Arrested Development needs your help. All you kids who haven’t watched it for various reasons have doomed it. I’m making a list of each and every one of you bastards and will be at your doors on the end of (show)days.
It didn’t help that the show made the FOX network its home, no. But you kids coulda overflowed Fox Mondays with such high ratings that even a Fox programming exec would feel the heat from that love. Then thinking such a powerful warmth came from his own cold, black heart, he would continue Arrested Development for a full 3rd season and order up 2 extra seasons. Just to round things out.
No such love came from any of you. Now, that Fox programming exec has opened his chest cavity and sucked in the last 9 episodes of the 3rd season into that churning, black abyss where his heart once stood. Forever dooming comedy genius to your local store’s DVD shelves.
There is one glimmer of hope.

Chris Alexander, a spokesman for 20th Century Fox, which produces the show, said both Showtime and ABC have expressed interest in “Arrested Development,” but no deal has yet to be reached.
The show has won six Emmys and one Golden Globe, but some critics have suggested it’s too zany to keep up with and the upper-class characters aren’t “relatable” to audiences.
In a concluding speech on Monday’s show, Bateman had even acknowledges that by saying: “We’ve been given plenty of chances, and maybe the Bluths just aren’t worth saving, maybe we’re not that likable. We’re very self-centered.”

Remember:
It may be the one thing you do in your entire life that makes you human.
Or just continue watching American Idol and be damned to eternal hellfire in a pit of my searing HATE.
Your call.
