I'm withholding stars until this season sees the light of day, if it never does I'm coming back here and one-starring you!

David Cross not participating. And, judging from his attitude over the last few years he's not entirely enthused about the idea. I can't say I blame him...while I loved the show, it seems like it getting cancelled may have saved it from starting to suck. Three seasons seems like the sweet spot for Arrested Development....dunno how a new season this far down the line will turn out, especially with the "kids" being so much older now.

FABIO - 2011-10-10 I'm trying to think of shows that started out hilarious and managed to keep it up more than a year or two. It seems like all the longest running recent comedy greats started off rocky then picked up steam (Simpsons, Beavis & Butthead).
Maybe 30 Rock is the exception? I loved Party Down but it's also probably good they canceled it when they did.

Toenails - 2011-10-10 I have a personal opinion that the first episode of "How to be a Gentleman" pretty much surpassed all my expectations. Although my view certainly has not been shared by others, especially those in charge as I just now found out it has been cancelled.
But if they somehow managed to stick around, I'm quite sure it would have been a strong show for CBS. Ah well.

Hopefully Mitchell Hurwitz is as clever of a writer as he seems and figures out a way to make it all work. Then again, maybe it was a fluke in the first place, and a renewal will just tarnish the goodness that we had.
Then again, maybe shows work good in 2 to 3 season formats, a it's been stated before. The Office (UK) is a prime example, just like Extras. Ricky Gervais is good at that.
Curb Your Enthusiasm is the one defining example of a good long show. 9 Seasons and still as classic as ever? Not easy to do.

StanleyPain - 2011-10-10 Oh, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to insinuate he's not going to be on the show. I meant he wasn't participating in the chicken dance on stage. He's going to be in the new season, though.

SDAusmus - 2011-10-11 Larry David limits CYE to ten episodes per season, which helps a lot. 80 episodes would be less than four seasons of a network show.

The 4 still stands.

Arrested Development is the new Star Trek

I think it is a bad idea to bring the show back and ruin my memories of what was the only perfect television run a sitcom has ever had.
But I am so unbelievably excited right now that it doesn't matter.
