it's more likely a result of bad timing. Ran at a time when DVRs weren't common place and tv was a different landscape.

No you're definitely wrong, Fox refused to put the show in primetime slots and almost never promoted it. Friends or Everybody Loves Raymond would have failed with how they treated Arrested Development, it bounced around in multiple different timeslots none of them anything close to a primetime slot. It was so bad that at times the actual fans of the show(such as myself) didn't know when they could see the new episode because Fox bounced it around so much, I'd tune in on Sunday to see it and it wouldn't be on. The only reason it got 53 episodes is because it got so many awards to the absolute confusion of Fox, in the third Season the plotline with how Tobias was dying because of his hairplugs was an allusion to how fox was killing the show.
