It took some structural risks but I don't find the Arrested Development relaunch any worse than the better episodes of the original run. If anything those risks made it more interesting. So I'm kind of suspecting the tepid reaction had to do with people remembering the show as better than it was. Presumably it was mostly superior to whatever else was on network television at the time? I didn't have any reception from c. 1998-2008 so can't contextualize very accurately. If my guess is right it might also explain Firefly, which similarly seemed to me to fall absurdly short of its praise.

Though I thoroughly sympathize with the disappointed, having been tortured by zombie versions of Futurama for what, six years. We couldn't have loved it more.
