Arrested Development

Nobody watched it. Made it hard for Fox to keep it on. It is funny but not mass popular funny. Too bad mass popular funny generally sucks. No wonder the sitcom is dead.

Yeah I can see where it's not a show for the masses. It's certainly not the first time a quality show couldn't cut it, and not the last time either.

Coincidentally, "The Office" is suffering from the same kind of problem AD faced- hilarious writing, cult viewership, low ratings. I applaud NBC for trying to keep good television on the air as long as they can, despite the numbers.

The Office didn't bring high ratings in season 1, but in seasons 2 & 3 it's really taken off.
