As a fan of Arrested Development, I'm glad to see that Mitch Hurwitz, the show's creator, has a good sense of humor about its deemed failure in the U.S. There are some sweet TV show writing tips in there--stuff that mere amateurs would never think would affect a show's success. My favorite was having multiple characters with the same name (but shame on him for not noting the two Lucilles and the "loose seal" that bit off Buster's hand).
By the way, in my mind, Arrested Development was a grand success. Sure, Hurwitz, the cast, and others, may have wanted it to go on and on and on, but I was happy with the three seasons. Too often, more than that leads to a miserable experience for viewers.
