Hey all
Not sure how many Arrested Development fans there are here, but the show is in deep trouble. The episode order for this season was shortened to 18 and has been replaced by American Dad for May Sweeps. It only seems like cancellation is the next logical step.
This show is one of the best on television right now. With a fabulous ensamble cast (David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor, Justin Bateman, Portia Di Rossi), it's easilly the best written comedy since Sports Night. This is one of those shows that could save the sitcom genre, not spare us reality shlock like "Worlds Wackiest Duck Hunts" and "When Insects Attack".
The Sunday's episode features guest stars Liza Minelli and Martin Short, and Ben Stiller and Zack Braff apparently have storylines to follow. It's not one of those shows that just inserts celebrities for ratings, but gives them characters and stories that keeps them coming back for multiple episodes (like having Carl Withers playing a insanely cheap actor or Henry Winkler playing the family attorney).
I usually wouldn't put my stock in an online petition, but I fully enjoy the show. The DVD set is a cheap buy and worth every penny. The petition is here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://hoos.a-girlthing.com/">http://hoos.a-girlthing.com/</a><!-- m -->.
Arrested Development in on after the Simpsons on Fox and Global, Sunday nights.
Thanks
