Nexflix dropping ‘Arrested Development’

When I’m asked what is my favorite comedy of all time I immediately say Season 1 – 10 of the Simpsons. Otherwise, it’s all about Arrested Development.

The show follows The Bluth family. In particular, Michael Bluth, who’s been tasked with taking over the family business as his father is sent to prison for a host of white collar crimes.

This is the show that introduced Michael Cera to the majority of us (several years before Juno) and showed off the comedic skills of Will Arnett. The show is perfection.

So why is Netflix cutting it from the streamer? The contracts up and they’re looking to downsize the storage and make more room for new shows. Netflix still has to pay for Arrested Development to make it available and that’s money that could go towards another show they’ll cancel after a season.

Booo. I will be going wherever AD goes.
