If you are using jquery 1.4 you might need to set the traditional parameter to true in order to be compatible with the default model binder format in ASP.NET MVC:

var test = [];
test.push('dog');
test.push('cat');

$.ajax({
    url: 'MyController/DoSomething',
    type: 'GET',
    traditional: true,
    data: { arr: test, someBool: true, someInt: 1 },
    success: function(result) {
        $container.html(result);
    }
});

or if you prefer the .load() method:

var data = { arr: test, someBool: true, someInt: 1 };
$container.load('MyController/DoSomething', $.param(data, true), 
    function(response, status, xhr) {
    // ...
});
