'Arrested Development's' Return: What the Fans Are Saying
Reactions to plans for a comeback of one of the most beloved comedy series of the past decade range from ecstatic joy to angry harrumphing.
News that Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz was planning a "mini-season" of his beloved show, to be followed by a feature film, sent fans running to their mobile devices to spread the word through Twitter.
Some were ecstatic; others were more reserved. And still others used the news to root for for the return of other beloved-but-canceled TV shows.
