Arrested Development is back!

This is mainly another FUCK FOX thread. It's been off for, what, three weeks now? And tonight was the first advertisement that a new episode will be on tomorrow.

Hmm, wonder why it is failing?

How many episodes do we have left? After tomorrow's though when will we see another one? Isn't December when FOX doesn't run anything?

Sopranos in March!

There was an interview with Ron Howard's partner at Imagine ( the company that produces "AD" ) this last week where he said he was feeling positive about another network picking up the show. We'll see.

it's probably failing because it's slow moving, and tries too hard to be subtly funny.

Slow moving? It's fine if you don't like the show (I happen to think that it's one of the best comedies of all time), but it's hardly slow moving.

Yeah, I'd agree with this as well. Of all the things you could say, slow paced isnt one of them.

If anything, its merits repeated viewings because of how fast the jokes come.

what is it, 4 more episodes? god i hope it gets picked up, but i'd hate to see it become WB-ized in the process.

incidentally, it's the wikipedia daily article.

I don't think WB would mess with it. They're actually one of the better networks out there these days, meaning they give their shows a fighting chance. Even if a show is just out of the starting gate and showing weak, they'll keep it a full year because nearly ALL of their shows have started out that way and many of em have managed to go on to become great shows and stick around a long time.

Fuck Fox. They're a bunch of assholes. They keep crap like Stacked, which is basically just a vehicle for Pam Anderson's tits, on but kill AD, and I liked Kitchen Confidential it just never had a chance because of the scheduling dickheads at Fox.

problem with WB picking it up is that they don't have the budget that AD has run on up till now.

Three more episodes - this week and the next two, and that's it. I guess the additional 5 they're filming are slated for the DVD set only (nice how Fox has figured out how to screw the fans even AFTER they've already doomed the show!)

Postmersh · **Posted:** Mon Dec 05, 2005 6:11 pm

I intend on watching it tonight...intently...

and hoping that it makes it through to another season, no matter what channel it's on...

Where did you hear this? I thought Fox was showing all 8 episodes left. That would be pretty terrible if we couldn't even get a series finale on TV.

Someone will pick it up, actually market it well and then FOX will pay big bucks to get it back. Happened with Family Guy, can happen again.

DUDE IT PISSES ME OFF THT FOX IS CANELING THIS SHOW.

(and no im not drunk)

P.S. F*K OFF FOX!!!!

i missed the first half of tonight's episode

DumpJack · **Posted:** Tue Dec 13, 2005 10:06 am

I thought it was funny as hell. But then it kind of really hit me: Can a show in which one of the main characters is dying and paralyzed because of a hair transplant REALLY be expected to survive? Couple indifferent dying with parental sex, drugs and the desire for (unlikely) incest? As hilarious as it all is, are we surprised it's essentially cancelled?

GOB's video promotion for the charity event was one of the funniest things this season.

Missed responding to this last week, sorry. I'd seen it posted on a couple TV-related sites when I read that Fox had revealed their winter-spring lineup - and AD was not on it. However, it appears now that all 5 shows will be shoe-horned into January, and then that's it . . .

Anyone bothered by all the push the show's suddenly getting from Fox? I've seen more ads this week than ever before. And what's with them showing a "classic" episode following last night's new one? What, so NOW they're calling this show a classic when they couldn't be bothered to throw a few commercials for the show into their other shows? Don't get me wrong - I'm glad to see the show getting any attention from Fox, but really, what the hell?

from http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_ma ... 1|,00.html:

Quote:

[Justine Bateman's] episode of "Arrested Development" [airing on Jan 9] may be one of the show's last. FOX has decided against a full season of the show, which has aired six episodes so far this fall. The week following Bateman's episode will bring two hours' worth of "24," and the unscripted show "Skating with Celebrities" takes up residence in the 8 p.m. Monday timeslot after that.
