Did anyone else think that this show was just genius?? My husband and I have watched Arrested Development more times than we can count, and when it got canceled we were very sad, indeed. But then came Sit Down, Shut Up!, and we were happy again.
NOW THAT show has been canceled, as well!!! We're very outraged!! Why can't Mitchell Hurwitz seem to get a break?? The shows he comes up with and helps to develop are FANTASTIC, with clever characters and storylines and writing. I know Sit Down, Shut Up! was originally released in Australia, and he just developed it for American television...but come on, if Office can make it WAY longer than it should (and no, I'm not railing the Office. We watch it every week), I would hope there would be SOME hope for this show, too. It had all the makings of a wonderful show-humor, great writing, animated, Will Arnett. It just...didn't take off.
I'm, personally, blaming Fox for all of it. They killed off The Critic AND Family Guy (twice), destroyed Arrested Development, and it looks like they took this new awesome show in the same direction as it forbears. Within the first five episodes of Sit Down, Shut Up! the dates and times had been changed three times. It was hard even for obsessed freaks like us to keep up with it.
.....I guess we'll just have to wait for the Arrested Development movie, and get our kicks from that while we can. Sigh.
