Season Finale!!
Friday's Two Solid Hours Of
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT!!
I am - Hercules!!
"Arrested Development" gets no respect.
"Desperate Housewives" won the best-TV-comedy Golden Globe two years in a
row. The Emmys' pick this year was "Everybody Loves Raymond." "Veronica
Mars" got five times as many votes as "Arrested" in E!'s "Save Our Show"
poll this time last year.
This season Fox moved it to Mondays, where it performed so poorly (losing to
the likes of "Wife Swap," "Surface," "The King of Queens" and "7th Heaven"),
Fox cut its order from 22 to 13 episodes and replaced it with repeats of
"Prison Break" (which, to add insult to injury, actually garnered a bigger
audience).
The bad news? Even though Fox hasn't formally cancelled "Arrested," its
chances for renewal are virtually non-existent.
The good news? Pay channel Showtime is, by all accounts, prepared to order
new "Arrested" episodes as soon as Fox officially kicks it out the door.
Which means we can finally see Lindsay Bluth Fünke naked and Ron Howard can,
as appropriate, begin referring to certain characters as "cunts."
Tonight Fox devotes its entire prime-time slate to all four of the remaining
unaired episodes. In the second half-hour, Justine Bateman turns up as
Michael's long-long sister. In the third, the Bluths descend upon Iraq,
where they meet Saddam Hussein and discover there's too much traffic on
Halliburton Road. Judge Reinhold appears. And Richard Belzer, too, whom I'm
guessing has found a way to play John Munch on yet another series.
8 p.m. Friday. Fox.

Goodbye, Arrested Development. It's not often that I can recall not watching
a single episode of a TV comedy, but with you, I can.

You were probably too busy watching Wife Swap or The Bachelor.

You should check out the DVDs. The show is well worth watching.

RIP Arrested Development. You were my favourite brilliant comedy that
nobody watched.

Not to be a snot about it, but why do we end up with "Arrested Development"
posts here in a.t.s.? We can't help it if the show wasn't big enough to rate
it's own NG! Is it just because that, at one time, it came on just before
(or after, can't remember) 'The Simpsons?' If that's the case, please watch
for future posts about "The War at Home" and the last quarter of NFL
football games...

I should. I keep thinking about buying season 1 and just devoting a day to
it.

Best way to watch it. One of the things that's so awesome about the show
is how well they carry over jokes from episode to episode. You definitely
get more out of it by watching multiple eps at a time.

Arrested Development is the story about the teenage girl whose boobs
stopped growing?
