  This is better understood as a strategic move, not a tactical one. It's not about Arrested Development qua Arrested Development, it's about not needing Fox, and not Fox qua Fox either but Fox as a particular instance of the general category of television channels.

    Yes, that probably & hopefully is their strategy. But is it mere co-incidence that their first major play of that strategy is for a show that is well loved by geeks? My guess is that the above probability does hold true, and that's part of the reason that this particular show is a going first.

      The above probability does not hold true.

        Netflix and Arrested Development watchers both skew young and urban. I'd be surprised if it didn't hold true. What makes you think it doesn't?

  Exactly. Firefly would be another obvious choice.

    Much more expensive per episode though
