Despite its acclaim, many branded it a flop; the mere fact that they called it that tells us that they weren&#8217;t ready for its unusual, forward-thinking brand of comedy. Following a long hiatus, most people assumed that rumors of a fourth season were just a trick. But it&#8217;s not a trick <i>or<\/i> an illusion. If there&#8217;s one thing we&#8217;ve learned from the continual success and revival of niche hit shows like <i>Futurama<\/i> and <i>Family Guy<\/i>, it&#8217;s that there&#8217;s always money in cult TV.<\/p>\n<p>After years of lobbying from the show&#8217;s growing fanbase (there are dozens of us! We didn&#8217;t see you at the convention), Netflix is indeed premiering a new season of <i>Arrested Development<\/i> this Sunday, and it&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/variety.com\/2013\/digital\/news\/netflixs-arrested-development-has-triple-social-buzz-of-house-of-cards-1200486382\/\">easily the most anticipated TV event of the year<\/a>. Suffice to say, Netflix is gonna get some log-ons. Say &#8220;Annyong&#8221; to the future of television!<\/p>\n<p>Most people excited about the new season have probably watched the original multiple times and memorized its crisscrossing in-jokes and interconnected structure. But if your uncle-father and hermano have never seen <i>Arrested Development<\/i> before, they&#8217;ve made a huge mistake. And that&#8217;s why you need to come to Media Services!<\/p>\n<p>We have the first three seasons available for checkout. Be sure to have a dry run with the original series before watching the new one. Unless you&#8217;re a chicken!
