'Arrested Development' Lands at Netflix: Relaunch of Fan Favorite Expands the Streaming Business Model

Following an involuntary “hiatus” of more than seven years, an entirely new fourth season of the critically praised, low-rated Fox sitcom Arrested Development becomes available exclusively for Netflix streaming on May 26 at 12:01 a.m. PST. As with Netflix’s initial foray into original content production earlier this year with the first-season release of the Kevin Spacey political thriller House of Cards, the Arrested Development release is widely expected to spur weekend binge viewing parties over the Memorial Day weekend by a few million fans of the Jason Bateman cult sitcom.

'Arrested Development' and Netflix: A Match Made in Streaming Heaven

Joe Berkowitz of Fast Company's Co.Create explains why Netflix is exactly the right home for a cult show like Arrested Development. He writes, "Some television series serve as mere background; audiovisual wallpaper viewers can take in while attending to real life or the Internet. Arrested Development is more of a playground. Watching the deeply layered sitcom is an immersive experience, impossible to fully enjoy in just one visit. Not enough fans stopped by each week, though, when Arrested aired on Fox 10 years ago. The show was shut down in its third season. But new waves of viewers discovered it on DVD and rallied online--demanding more episodes, a movie, something.

TechBit: Crowds App Stakes Out New Angles in Social Video

Hayley Tsukayama of The Washington Post writes: With video becoming a bigger part of the social-media sphere, Krowds is offering its own angle at curating social video. In fact, it’s offering lots of angles. The driving idea behind this video app is that it provides a space for multiple people at the same location to submit videos from their own point of view. Although this might have some limited applications, it could be useful for events such as weddings, concerts or speeches.

Will Consumers Continue to Pay for Video Streaming?

Robert Passikoff of Forbes writes up the state of revenue-based video streaming. He writes, "The course-changes this category has been making are extraordinarily different from the ones that were expected, reminiscent, for those who were there at the introduction of the internet, of when access and e-mail, and a raft of what-you-currently-get-for-free, was being charged for. So fact #1: the video streaming category is getting crowded. And, fact #2, it’s getting more than a little competitive, as media companies are moving into streaming video looking for their own new revenue streams." Read the full story here.

Intel Takes a Gamble on Intel TV

Jimmy Schaeffler of Multichannel News opines on the announcement of intel TV, writing, "At this point in telecom history, Intel is the traditional telecom company, with a solid, 60+ year background of performance and development, almost all of it on the hardware/chip side. Thus, for it to be risking what could be a big failure (witness, in part, AppleTV, thus far), based upon what apparently is a big bet on the future of video distribution, is a big deal in my eyes. That speaks to commitment, and very likely a very good plan and technology." Read the full story here.
