Although I wish that it wasn't getting cancelled I have to give fox some credit for actually sticking with the show as long as they have, because you're right when you say it's lasted 2 and half seasons longer than most other shows. Look at A Minute with Stan Hooper. Its ratings were higher than what AD is putting up now, and Fox cut it after like 5 episodes. Although I think AD is a much better show.

I'll admit I didn't watch the show until about halfway thru the first season, but I've never missed an episode since. People who bitch about a show getting cancelled when they've never watched it except for downloading it online get what they deserve. It's just too bad they screw over everyone else by doing that.

Teh rumorz say that 13 episodes were filmed.

Q: Did Fox just really cancel "Arrested Development"? Say it ain't so!

A: Well, technically, it's not so. Fox will air the first 13 episodes, but it decided last week not to pick up the "back nine," as they say in the business. That's different from being canceled. (There was some confusion earlier as to whether Fox had ever promised a full 22 episodes to "AD." It hadn't. The network waited to see if the ratings were good before committing to the back nine. The ratings were not good, settling in at roughly 4 million viewers compared with about 6 million, on average, the last season. Either year you measure it, not good.

This is the same thing that happened last year.

You got to give Fox credit they stuck behind this show. They gave them the most support I have ever seen a network give a failing show.

That said the amount of FOX SUCKS!!!NOW I CAN"T DL NEW EPISODES." on Gaf is going to be amazing.

I know I'm a little late to the party (TNL no work at dorm), but I am seriously pissed this show is getting axed. I wasn't introduced to the show until halfway through the second season, but I've baught the DVDs at release, and watch the show on TV whenever I have the time or remember.

Sure the dl'ers play a part in this, but it just seems to me that everyshow that Fox switches time slots get f'ed up. Just take Family Guy for instance. It got moved to Thursdays and got ass ratings. Family Guy then airs on CN and gets a massive following. I dunno if that is a really good example, but none the less, it is a great show that Fox canned and later had a incredible following

Sorry for the rant, but I just love AR and am really sad to see it go. I just really hope some other network picks it, if that is even possible.

Tonight's episodes was one of the best yet... I love how they always throw digs at the fact that they are not a popular show, and even advertised for the website savethebluths.org. I laughed out loud many times, and I haven't done that with many other shows. I also especially ejoyed the HBO/Showtime references.

Oh man, that sounds like a good one. DirecTV wasn't coming in last night 'cause of a storm =\ Hurry up torrent!

Andy Richter owned on last night's show

"What does this charity event pay?"
"Well there's a free meal,"
"I'll be there" :lol:

I loved how they openly mock the situation the show is in with the Hbo/showtime joke and all the rating grabbing tricks like 3D. Really great episode.

If anyone finds a torrent of the new ep please lmk.
