Arrested Development: Cancelled

Yet another quality show has gotten the axe, this time the absolutely hysterical comedy that Wooly turned me on to last year. Word is that FOX cut the order to 13 episodes instead of the normal 22. When I first read about this a few weeks ago, it was still uncertain, but it looks increasingly like we’ve seen the last of the Bluth clan - unless it can be picked up by HBO. One can only hope!

I believe they were officially cancelled the day after Thanksgiving. The cut back was sometime ago.

It actually looks like Showtime maybe it’s new home.

Showtime, really? Where’d you see that?

It’s been talked about the most in the media about it. HBO does not like to pick up shows, though Arrested Development would make a good pairing with Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Did you see the deal Amazon had about 2 weeks ago (when it was announced) - both season 1 & 2 for $31 for both of them.

Did see that, and did not take advantage of it. It still smarts.

You’ve gotta face it, Mike. You’re the personal kiss of death for television shows.

Stay away from Criminal Minds, Dammit!!

I don’t think you have anything to worry about Joel. I just saw a commercial during football that claimed that 59 million people watch that show. I honestly don’t understand the appeal, I hate cop/lawyer/procedural/hospital dramas.
