There was never going to be an easy way for Mitch Hurwitz to follow up Arrested Development. But that’s exactly what he tried to do with the bizarre project that is Sit Down, Shut Up. In 2009, a few years after his cult classic show came to its (first) conclusion, Fox greenlit Hurwitz’s US take on Sit Down, Shut Up. The expectation was that whatever came next for him would recapture the same lightning-in-a-bottle magic that made Arrested Development one of the greatest sitcom masterpieces of all time.
