Sitcom Arrested Development has been revived after an absence of 7 years, with many devoted fans devouring all 15 new episodes after they were made available online.

Arrested Development, which was recently dubbed the “greatest sitcom ever” by The Guardian, was axed by the Fox network in 2006.

But a new series has been made and aired by streaming service Netflix.

The series is the latest attempt by Netflix to tempt viewers away from traditional TV channels.

Netflix previously made waves in the TV industry by bypassing established networks and filming its own remake of British political drama House of Cards starring Kevin Spacey. All 13 episodes were made available at once in February.

Arrested Development established a cult following during its original three series on Fox from 2003-2006 and its return has been met with huge anticipation from its loyal fans.

Gavin and Stacey actor Matthew Horne wrote on Twitter: “I KNOW the sun is shining, but the new Arrested Development is on Netflix… so, goodbye Sunday.”

US author and Veronica Mars screenwriter Rob Thomas posted: “Netflix just emailed me that Arrested Development is online now. No one bother me for the next 7.5 hours. Hungry children – this means you.”

Before the new series appeared, creator Mitch Hurwitz told fans to pace themselves.

“Don’t feel obligated to watch it all at once,” he told the Vulture website.

“It’s a comedy! It’s not like Lord of the Rings. Comedy takes a lot out of you.”

Forbes.com writer Dorothy Pomerantz said she would savor the experience because it might be the last time key personnel including executive producer and narrator Ron Howard and actor Jason Bateman would find time to film together.

Dorothy Pomerantz wrote: “I’m going to take my time with Arrested Development and enjoy it like an old-fashioned TV show: one a week. I want the fun to last as long as possible.”

Portia De Rossi has revealed that she will never have children with Ellen DeGeneres as she posed for a new issue of Out magazine.

Portia De Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres have been together for over eight years and married for nearly five, but they never had the desire to start a family.

“You have to really want to have kids, and neither of us did. So it’s just going to be me and Ellen and no babies,” 40-year-old Portia De Rossi says in the interview.

She says she never felt the pressure to procreate like many women do when they are in their mid-30’s.

“There comes some pressure in your mid-30s, and you think, <<Am I going to have kids so I don’t miss out on something that other people really seem to love?>>” she explains.

“Or is it that I really genuinely want to do this with my whole heart? I didn’t feel that my response was <<yes>> to the latter.”

The Australian actress poses in a black and white portrait on the cover of the popular style magazine.

With her hair styled in a similar elfin-like crop as Ellen DeGeneres, it is almost hard to tell the difference between the two.

While Ellen DeGeneres continues her daily daytime talk show, Portia De Rossi will be returning to the small screen on May 26th when Netflix premieres a brand new 15 episode season of the top-notch comedy Arrested Development.
