Arrested Development, created by Mitchell Hurwitz for Fox, is a critically acclaimed comedy about the dysfunctional Bluth family — a wealthy real estate dynasty whose patriarch has been arrested for fraud — that was canceled after three seasons despite near-universal critical adoration, only to be revived by Netflix years later. The show pioneered a dense, layered comedy style packed with callbacks, foreshadowing, running gags, and background jokes that rewarded multiple viewings. Its influence on subsequent comedy writing is incalculable — virtually every sophisticated comedy that followed it, from Community to Bojack Horseman, acknowledges Arrested Development as a primary influence.
