Dear Fox, (Arrested Development tops Amazon Sales)







Dear Fox,
Arrested Development are topping the DVD list at Amazon.Now don't you think this means something? There is a fan base for the show. We are a passionate people, and we care about comedy. Can't you sacrifice one half hour slot a week to 5 million smart viewers? That number will grow too. The comparisons have been made to Family Guy, and Seinfeld and the fan base will just expand. Here is all you have to do and I've broken it down to a few easy steps:
1.)Advertise the show. As of right now I think I may have seen one ad ever and it was just before the third season came out.
2.)Put reruns of the first two seasons on FX, and run some more mini marathons.
3.)Develop some kind of on-demand feature for the show, either put them on iTunes or offer them on-demand for digital cable subscribers.
4.)Give the writers the freedom to do what they want. Some fans of this season feel that the show has been a bit Foxcized(sp?). What do they mean by that? Fox is forcing them to change things to fit in on the network, you can't do that to AD.
5.)Allow the show to have a consistent time slot for once. The third season we have seen three episoded in three weeks(good), then we saw two episodes in one night(good) 4 weeks later(bad). We are not going to get another episode for another 4 weeks(bad). Put the show in a time slot that won't get interupted by sweeps, or baseball.
Take those five steps and you are guaranteed to make a few more million dollars a year, I guarantee it. Stop worrying so much about ratings and look at quality.
Sincerely,
Dustin Drury
