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. 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.
