From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arrested Development is a character-driven comedy television series about a formerly wealthy, habitually dysfunctional family. The show is presented like a documentary, complete with narration, archival photos, and historical footage. Although set in Newport Beach and Balboa Island, California, it is primarily filmed on location around Culver City and Marina Del Rey. Created by Mitchell Hurwitz, since debuting on November 2, 2003, the series has received six Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award. However, despite critical acclaim, Arrested Development has never climbed in the ratings. As a result, the episode orders for the second and third seasons were cut. This has left many critics and fans believing that the show will be cancelled, although Fox is not expected to make an official announcement until next fall's schedule is released in the spring.
