Arrested Development was probably the best show on television the first half of the decade. It aired on FOX, and pushed the limits of what broadcast TV could get away with. After miserable ratings, the show was cancelled after the third season.
Sadly, it has a small - but rabid - fan base, but that may be changing. Two fans of the show are creating a documentary about the show:
We always find ourselves talking about the show, reciting lines and recalling scenes, which always ends in hysterical laughter. In late August, a large group of our friend were planning a trip to Yosemite. We were the only two that ended up going and we talked about Arrested Development all weekend. From this trip spawned the Arrested Development Documentary Project (this is a working name), an outlet to take our passion for the show and couple it with the countrywide fan base to educate others and make them aware of this TV gem.
The overall goal of the documentary is to provide awareness and education of this brilliant, witty and original comedy. We are looking to interview viewers, cast, crew and any other industry figures that are fans or critics of the show.
Here’s the trailer:
Now if the film would just come out.
