Arrested Development Trivia:

Ironically, this series achieved overwhelming critical acclaim with many critics stating that it was the best sitcom of all time but it somehow never claimed a significant audience. Netflix was certain that it would be a huge hit for them when they took over the series in its fourth season. There was talk of it being certain that there would be a fifth season and even a theatrical movie, but still, the audience just never showed up!
