Arrested Development is a character-driven Emmy Award -winning American comedy television series that ran from November 2 , 2003 to February 10 , 2006 , about a formerly wealthy and habitually dysfunctional family . The series is presented in a fashion reminiscent of documentary film / cinéma vérité , with omniscient narration (by Ron Howard ), archival photographs, and historic footage. Although set in Newport Beach and Balboa Island , California, it was primarily filmed in locations around Culver City and Marina del Rey , about an hour's drive north.

The show was created by Mitchell Hurwitz , the creator of The Ellen Show , and writer for The John Larroquette Show and The Golden Girls . Hurwitz, together with Ron Howard , Brian Grazer , and David Nevins (all part of Imagine Entertainment ) is also an executive producer. It airs/aired on broadcast networks worldwide, including Fox in the United States and Latin America, G4 in the United States , TV3 in Ireland, BBC Two and Bravo in the United Kingdom, Global TV and CBC in Canada, in Asia on STAR World , in New Zealand on TV3 and in Australia on the Seven Network & The Comedy Channel .

Since its debut, the series earned six Emmys , a Golden Globe , and a cult fan base. It was also recognized with the "Future Classic" award at the 2004 TV Land Awards . Despite the critical acclaim, however, the show struggled to find a wide audience throughout its run.

Fox aired the final four episodes of the third season in a block as a two hour series finale on February 10, 2006; opposite the opening ceremonies of the 2006 Winter Olympics . In the United Kingdom, BBC Two picked up the series in September 2004, and started airing the third season on Arrested Development September 2006. Bravo began airing the first season as a run in to another American import, the Adult Swim block of programming on the 30th of August. Showtime was rumored to have offered to pick up the show with at least 26 planned episodes following its release from the Fox Network. However, Mitch Hurwitz 's decision not to continue with the show effectively ended any hopes for the series's continuation.
