Arrested Development canceled!
First "Chappelle's Show" and now this! OK, so I'm not surprised by the announcement; however, it still sucks to hear that FOX is cancelling "Arrested Development." IMO, it is one of the best shows on TV.
After putting the show on hiatus for the World Series, it returned last week and, apparently, didn't do well in the ratings (Wonder if being on hiatus could have contributed to the problem). And, worse for FOX, it seemed to drag down the numbers for "Prison Break."
So AD will be put back on hiatus again until after the finale of "Prison Break." Look for the final episodes to begin airing on December 5th.
BTW, thanks to Rex for the tip.

I share your pain. It was an incredible show so I knew it wouldn't last. It was too well-written and too intelligent for the general public who needs a laugh track to know when to laugh at the latest toilet joke. Hopefully, a cable channel will pick it up and keep it going but considering the glut of reality shows and shows starring couples who are constantly scheming to get into each other's pants, I don't have much hope. Even the last holdout - BBC America - has gone the route of sexual hijinks shows.

Bill : 6:22 PM Watched too late!!! I wish I would have seen the show earlier to inform the public that this was a show worth keeping. As a military personnel I found this, out of my 15 hour work day, my break from the mundane. I am very disappointed, a year later to see its demise. Bring it back...

P.S. It's sad to see our society is so involved with shows like the O.C. that look for an easy scape in leisurely entertainment. Obviously, our society does not want to think.

It was you who introduced me to this great, great show. It will be greatly missed.
May it rest in peace and sell heaps of DVDs.
