Plus I don't even think there's a way to wrap up the entire plotline in eight episodes. Ugh. Fox has completely raped this show.

They're cancelling the one show that my entire family actually watch together.

I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.

I've been watching the second season on DVD. Such a brilliant show:

Lindsay: Hi Mom...I have the afternoon free!

Lucille: Really? Did nothing cancel?

HYSTERICAL DEVELOPMENT: Leave it to Arrested Development to mine the tragedy of its imminent death for laughs. Per Variety, series creator Mitch Hurwitz is planning an episode that will poke fun at Fox's decision to reduce the show's episode order from 22 to 13, effectively canceling it. In the episode, titled "S.O.B." for "Save Our Bluths," the Bluth clan considers throwing a fund-raiser to save their construction company from shutting down. In one scene, Jason Bateman's Michael notes, "Our backs are against the wall.... It's just hard for me to accept that it's really come to begging." There's even a conversation about whether the Home Builders Organization — HBO — might be willing to come to their rescue. That idea is quickly nixed though, leading George Sr. to say, "I guess it's Showtime. We'll put on some kind of show at the [fund-raiser]."

"Two drifters off to see the world. There's such a lot of world to see. . ."

LOL! That's hilarious. One more reason why AD is the best show on TV right now. It's such a pity that so few people watch it.

Since television is readily available on DVD now, people are less likely to make time in there schedules when they know that eventually they can see it whenever they want.

I watched the first season of AD this summer. I loved it. I thought it was hysterical. Very much like Curb Your Enthusiasm but with a script. I wanted to see the second season before the third began running this fall so I could get caught up and add it to my viewing schedule, but Fox didn't release it in time for it to be watched before the new season began. I think that Fox shot themselves in the foot with that one. In fact, I think all the networks should get wise and release the previous season's shows in August.
