Arrested Development gets extremely shitty ratings and the most exposure most people have to it is seeing the dvd sets for sale in the store.

The second season was doing so bad that they cut it back from 22 to 18 episodes, and this season is doing so bad that they've cut it back to 13 episodes.

Blame Fox's retarded marketing division for being unable to promote or sell an emmy award winning show.

Also, according to Joffe, since I like the show then it can be assumed to be pure shit.
