Nearly ten years ago in the fall of 2003 Arrested Development aired it's first episode on the Fox broadcasting channel. 2 1/2 years later the show had been cancelled. Now this storyline is not necessarily an unoriginal one. Many times we the viewing public has witnessed a show come on the airs and before you know it, it's gone and we move on to the next one.
Although, this may be true for most shows, some shows are special. In it's run on Fox Arrested Development received major critical claim, including earning 6 Emmy awards and 1 golden globe. Over the past decade it has been considered one of the funniest television shows to have existed and often proclaimed a "cult-classic" by it's devoted fans. Since the cancellation of the show in early 2006 there have often been rumors in Hollywood of a movie to be produced starring the original cast. And even though these rumors have been confirmed and unconfirmed several times, we do know that the show has been in production since August 7th of this year with 10 to 13 episodes planned and has a scheduled release on Netflix in it's entirety for the Spring of 2013.
Creator, Mitchell Hurwitz, says the revival of the show and it's airing in the Spring is a gear up for the movie which has yet to have a finalized screenplay, but has been in the works for several years. If that's not enough to get fans excited Alia Shawkat, who plays Maeby Funke, says, "The scripts keep getting funnier and funnier... and we get to do some crazy ****." If the show is even close to where it left off in 2006 I personally can't wait to see it.
