Arrested Development

[Disestabulistic]

i just read that in an email my friend sent to me and it's fucking ridiculous. i have no faith in television anymore.

Dito, I sent the petition to everyone I could.

[crazycanuck]

I hate to see it happen, but the writing was on the wall. Maybe a Family Guy-esque comeback could play out though, so go buy all the DVDs.

[OWJeeves]

Family Guy's animated, so a comeback was a lot easier than it would be for AD (if it was based on DVDs).

 

Mitch Hurwitz said a month ago that if the show got canned, he would shop it around elsewhere. So the best plan is to petition HBO and NBC to pick it up, and just forget about FOX.

[crazycanuck]

Arrested Development apparently is a pretty expensive show to produce, so that may deter some of the cable networks.

NBC would be wise to pick this up and pair it with The Office.

[OWJeeves]

Yeah, it's about 1.5m per episode, only cable network that could probably afford it is HBO.

 

And yeah, NBC would be a nice fit if they paired it with The Office/My Name Is Earl/Scrubs. Hopefully they're desperate enough to give it a chance.

[crazycanuck]

Isn't Scrubs off the air now? What happened to it?

[OWJeeves]

NBC doesn't have a spot for it on the schedule. They're gonna air it when something gets cancelled. They are filming episodes currently though and all 24 for this season are guranteed to air at some point. It's expected to be back on the air by the end of January.

[S.E. Hardy]

I heard it was canceled?

[Gob]

Fox hasn't cancelled AD yet, they have reduced the order down to 13 episodes. This leaves 8 episodes left that FOX want's to delay until after the all important sweeps month of November ends. Remind yourself that FOX has House returning Mondays in January so that leaves 4 weeks and 8 Episodes. Hopefully they'll air them back to back 2 eps a week until its over.

 

NBC, Comedy Central, HBO, Showtime are all possible networks that Mitch & Co. can pitch it to.

 

Fox has made a huge mistake.

[borntohula]

maybe theyll make it one of those lame summer shows no one watches ;)

[Disestabulistic]

I was so sad when it wasn;t on last night.

[Crusader]

Whatever happened to George Michael and his unrelated cousin?

Whatever happened to George Michael and his unrelated cousin?

That's still sorta goin on...

[Dan #3]

"STEVE HOLTS!"

 

"But... he's your cousin."

[crazycanuck]

You know, I had an interesting idea today. What if Arrested Development were to just exclusively release the new episodes on itunes? They already sell music videos for $2. $2 x 4 million people - $1.5 million product costs per episode = $6.5 million dollars in profit on each episode. Who needs television networks anymore?

[borntohula]

that would blow.

[Gob]

George Michael said that Fox was considering dumping Arrested Development to the FX Network.

[Shortcut To Moncton]

Can't say I heard of the show before I came to this board. Never seen an episode.

Just reinforces how much I love the way this show can self-reference.

Just reinforces the my view that most fox viewers are mindless cretins.

Don't forget to watch Arrested Development tomorrow. It's on at 8 eastern/7 central on FOX.

 

Here's a synopsis of the show titled "The Ocean Walker"

 

The entire family is abuzz with Michael's impending marriage in "The Ocean Walker" episode of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Monday, Dec 5 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT). George Sr., worried that Rita (guest star Theron) is after Michael's money, forces Michael to admit that he doesn't really know Rita all that well. Meanwhile, Rita's Uncle Trevor (guest star Thomas) tries to stop the wedding by revealing some surprising information about Rita to the Bluths, actually making the family more supportive of the union. But if Michael learns the truth, will he be able to walk down the aisle?
