you couldnt be more wrong about the characters having no personality.

This is really frustrating. I watch it on DVD and one of the main things I've noticed is that jokes are often set up in one episode and paid off in the next, or two or three episodes later. Each season is like a movie, one big story told in brief parts. That means that by not airing it on a regular basis, casual viewers will miss half the comedy. This show isn't getting the attention it deserves because in a way it's too complex for tv. I really hope somebody at FOX wakes up soon, because this is disgraceful. This show is on the same level as Seinfeld and deserves as much success. It should go off the air when the creators are good and ready, and not a moment sooner.

Also, Arrested Development has some of the most entertaining and complex characters in TV history, and if you think otherwise you are DEFINITELY missing something.

I agree that this is the best show on tv and the characters are fantastic.

If you think it's bad up there down here the show is shown even more contempt by channel 7. It keeps getting taken off air and when it is on, it's timeslot is around midnight.

the bigger kick in the face of Arrested Development is that they are replacing it with reruns of Prison Break. that. show. sucks.

That is one of those programming moves that I can't really understand other than lumping the prison break show into the same audience as that who watch Cops religiously.
