    Re: Arrested Development

    I've see a few eps.

    I find it kinda boring to watch sometimes.

    Re: Arrested Development

    The best show on TV. I almost forgot what was going on this season since they had a month between episodes. Hopefully more people will start to watch so it doesn't get cancelled.

    Re: Arrested Development

    Didn't they start season 3 a few weeks ago? I remember seeing a few new eps prior to the playoffs starting. With Bob Loblaw

    We TIVO'd last night and will watch it tonight .

    Funniest show on network tv.
    (looking at a gift basket Michael received)
    Michael Bluth: Didn't you get one of those, too? You bought Lindsay at the same auction.
    Tobias Fünke: Yes, but I'm afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, and now I think I have something of a mess on my hands.
    Michael Bluth: Wow, there's just so many poorly chosen words in that sentence.
    (commenting on her stance against circumcision)
    Lindsay Funke: I think it's frightening when it's cut off. It's like a Doberman - let it have its ears.
    Lindsay Funke: You know, we're not the only ones destroying trees. What about beavers? You call yourself an environmentalist, why don't you go club a few beavers?

    Well since Fox doesn't promote it at all (they blow their advertising budget on House and Spouse Swap), I didn't know that it started before baseball ended. I'm just glad it didn't get cancelled.

    Re: Arrested Development

    Arrested is my favorite show on TV. It's so funny.

    Season 3 started a few weeks back. They've had a few eps already.

    The continuity between episodes is fantastic. They always bring back so many references to previous eps. It makes it very entertaining to re-watch -- making the DVDs very worthwhile to own.

    Re: Arrested Development

    anyone notice in last night's episode when they were all in the boardroom with Bob Loblaw and they are starting to think there was a mole. Someone, I believe Chachi, said that there might even be a recording device in the room at that time. Right then, they switched angles and you could see a boom mic hanging over the table for a second....
    just wondering if anyone else caught it. I think it was done to carry the joke a bit further

    The fact that Americans would rather watch terrible crap like Trading Spouses or Joey over the original, well-written Arrested Development gives me a headache.

    Well the story does continue over the course of a season, the episodes do stand alone somewhat. You'll laugh at the writing, but you won't get all the little in-jokes and nuances of the characters unless you've been watching for a while.

    Cross is absolutely right. This was without a doubt the worst job of marketing a television show in the history of television.

    This is a f**king outrage! Clearly one of the most clever comedies of the past 15 years. What a shame. 90% of the other shows on TV are crap, and this one gets "cut back".

    Hopefully one of the other networks will pick it up and promote it properly.

    F Fox!

    I am f*ckin' bummed out that Arrested Development is getting the axe. It's one of the few shows I watch on TV. Fox is completely run by idiots. Fox, NY Post, NewsCorp...that's what happens when you get a freak like Murdoch running the show. Complete sh*t!!!

    That's such BS. This is such a great show. I think if Fox drops it it'll get picked up by Comedy Central or something. At least I hope.

    That would be great. I can see it thriving on HBO, especially after seeing the "unedited" extended pilot on DVD. But I don't have HBO so I'd rather see it go to Comedy Central.

    Thanks. Best quote was at the end:

    Give me 13 episodes of "Arrested Development" over five years of soul-sucking lameness like "According to Jim" any day.

    Absolutely love this show. This and "My name is Earl" are the two funniest shows on TV today (oh, and Family Guy).

    What happened this past Monday, though. There was no episode!

    Re: Arrested Development

    If anyone wants the first two seasons on DVD, you can buy them together for $31.94 on amazon.com. This sale shot season 2 up to the #1 top seller on the DVD list and season 1 to the #2 spot. Maybe this jump in sales will open Fox's eyes and help it stick around.

    Since Ron Howard is the producer, maybe we will get an Arrested Development movie if the show is canceled.

    The show IS cancelled. I just read it on CNN (I think). It has been cut down to 13 episodes and then cancelled at the end of the season. Absurd.

    They choose Prison Break over AD? Bah. Screw Fox.

    I haven't read anywhere about it being definitively cancelled for next season.

    I misread that part. The last 9 episodes have been cancelled for this season and while that usually spells "the end" for a series, it's not 100% the case. More likely than not, it won't be back on FOX, unless ratings improve and FOX has nothing substantially better.

    It hasn't but it doesn't look good for AD. It barely made it back this season, and from what I've read, FOX isnt thrilled with the response this season.

    I hope it comes back, but it's best shot is probably to get picked up on another network. I don't know if it would happen or not.
