Of course no one really cares about that other show.

Yeah, I heard yesterday.
I'm hoping HBO or someone will pick it up. It's really such a great show, it shouldn't be passed up.
Damn Fox.

From one of my friends:

Quote
Arrested Development is quite possibly the funniest show on Television. If you have never seen it I recommend that you go out and buy season one and two on DVD.

I found a phone number for EVERYONE TO CALL!

800-369-6848
Hit the number 2 then dial "Liguori" followed by #.

When you leave a message, be nice, and tell Fox how much you love the show. Please post this on all of your blog sites. We need to save this show. Viewers have saved this show before by taking this kind of action, so there is hope.

Also write in to askfox@foxinc.com with the subject header SAVE ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. I am going write an email from every one of my email addresses.

I'm sure an online comic book can save it!

yep fox likes to kill shows that people like...

I'm as sad as anyone over this, but you cannot blame Fox. The show has gone down since Season 1 and it had bad ratings back then. They've tried everything to get people to watch, but no one is. This is the fault of Fox, it's the fault of television viewers.

Thank Jeebus 7th Hevean is dead!!!!!!
I hated that show. It was like that rash that never goes away no matter how much ointment you put on.

IceCold · « **Reply #7 on:** November 12, 2005, 09:29:40 PM »

Oh, damn. This just killed my day. Hopefully another network picks it up... I don't have HBO and I won't get it even if AD goes there. And if it does go there, the DVD sets will be A LOT more expensive, so either way it's bad.

It was almost inevitable, but after the deal got sorted it out before this season, I thought it would be around for a while still.

I guess bad things really do happen to good people.

Fox seems to always do this... Anytime a show is moved it seldom does as well. Dark Angel, Titus, Boston Public, etc... etc.. etc...

Oh God look at us, we're like a couple of girls on the last day of camp...

hopeful this is so they can bring back futurama

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #11 on:** November 13, 2005, 08:42:05 AM »

That actually wouldn't be that bad of a trade off...

If it were really going to happen.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #12 on:** November 13, 2005, 08:58:38 AM »

Coming from anybody but you two, what you said would actually be offensive. I rest easy in the knowledge that people who don't like AD do in fact tend to be like stevey.

stevey · « **Reply #13 on:** November 13, 2005, 09:22:05 AM »

I like Arrested Development, I just love futurama more.

cock-a cock-a cock-a cock

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #14 on:** November 13, 2005, 10:35:20 AM »

I love them both equally, which is why I say that one or the other, it doesn't matter much to me.

Futurama>Arrested Development

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #16 on:** November 13, 2005, 01:05:13 PM »

Arrested Development > Futurama.

Futurama is just another slew of old Simpsons jokes in a new setting.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #17 on:** November 13, 2005, 01:22:31 PM »

There is a slight chance of the show still making it. From what I read Fox, (so far all they are doing) isn't ordering a full season. Season 2 wasn't a full season either. Season 1 = 22 episodes, Season 2 = 18 episodes. I know I am being optimistic, but I can always hope.

IceCold · « **Reply #18 on:** November 13, 2005, 01:54:48 PM »

Yeah, before this I had heard that it was being cut down to 13 eps.. but the writing's on the wall.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #19 on:** November 14, 2005, 05:24:30 AM »

Boo.

Futurama was good, but now that it's come to an end, I kind of want it to stay that way. I thought they finished it up nicely before it could wear out its welcome. Arrested Development, I think it could have a good few seasons ahead of it without losing its touch.

Avinash_Tyagi · « **Reply #20 on:** November 21, 2005, 01:48:35 PM »

The problem with Arrested Development was it was too intelligent and quirky for the viewing public, people want more survivors and CSI's, not intelligent and quirky.

As for Futurama if they were going to ressurect it I'd rather they put it on Cartoon Network's Adult swim, rather than Fox.

Renny · « **Reply #21 on:** November 21, 2005, 02:13:43 PM »

The problem is Fox has a bad habit of killing good shows. They've been pissing me off since Brisco. AD is great but I've only seen a few episodes. I generally don't watch TV much at all though. Eh. Damn Fox.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #22 on:** November 22, 2005, 06:31:26 AM »

Fox is just doing what any network would do. Lots of critically acclaimed shows like My So Called Life and Joan of Arcadia get canned because they don't have enough viewers. It sucks. What really bugs me is how Fox moved the show to Mondays and then pre-empted it with sports for several weeks in October. Oh gee, why doesn't anyone watch it?

nickmitch · « **Reply #23 on:** November 22, 2005, 04:10:16 PM »

They did the same thing with Andy Richter controls the universe.

BiLdItUp1 · « **Reply #24 on:** November 26, 2005, 09:09:16 PM »

Yep its the usual Fox hatchet-job act - once a program breaches a certain threshold, it is left to rot on some less than stellar timeslot. To be fair, the ratings were never good...but who needs to be fair? This is Fox we're talking about.
