Am I the only one that had never heard of the comedy "Arrested Development" before it became a Netflix exclusive show?

I love my comedies from the Inbetweeners to the Big Bang Theory and thought I knew them all but this is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen in my opinion. I am just starting series 2 now and cant get enough of it.

Had anyone else heard about it before or is it just me and my sheltered little life?
