Yet another reason to love Scrubs. In the cover story of this month's GIANT, Neil Flynn, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, and Judy Reyes all list AD as their favorite show. That's because they have good taste.

I'm assuming people have seen that a website is reporting that a castmember of AD revealed it's going to Showtime, and soon after this was noted the E! Online girl said that it suddenly was a lot more likely AD was going to Showtime?

Supposedly, according to tvguide.com, pagesix.com, and the NY Post, Fox has officialy dropped it and Showtime picked it up for 26 episodes, not 24. I'm still waiting for official news, seeing as I was under the impression that it is up to Mitch, who has until (I believe) June 15 to renew.

Yeah, the news I'm speaking of is about the fact that it seems like Mitch's decision is/or is leaning towards going to Showtime, which was very much in doubt prior to this news.

So does that mean that ABC didn't offer anything decent? Or where they not even in the running anymore at this point?

And has everyone noticed how the new batch of sitcoms on Fox and ABC all try to mimic AD's documentary style?

The New York Post's Page Six (i.e. the gossip section) is reporting the show has been picked up by showtime for 26 episodes (two seasons).

I know that's nowhere near official, but the more positive rumors we hear, the more hopeful I'm becoming.

Tim Goodman (TV critic for the San Francisco Chronicle) on KFOG in San Jose is reporting (01 March) that it's a done deal.
Quote:
"Everybody in the business already knows that this has been a done deal ... Showtime did pick up 'Arrested Development' for 26 episodes, two seasons at 13 each. And so it's great to see that."
Cue up the linked podcast to the 10:09 mark for his AD remarks.

Taste the happy.

So this is what the internet was invented for.

To one day bring AD to the masses who don't have cable/showtime the new episodes.

you wouldn't know if the guy is broke. he only signed a multi million dollar deal with fox or some other company a year ago. in one sentence hurwitz is saying he's doing everything in his power to live up to expectations of the fans and he's quitting because he can no longer deliver the quality on weekly basis for them. then in the next instance he's saying "money, money, money...i'd fuck the fans if i could, i just wanna get paid". i can respect him for wanting to move on but he's coming across like a bit of an idiot with those statements.

Oh, the tears aren't coming... the tears just aren't coming!

Disappointed? Yes. But I'm satisfied with the ending that Mitch gave us.

Tim Goodman's article regarding the demise of AD. Bateman is quoted.

Jason Bateman:
Everyone involved in the series benefited, Bateman said, including Fox. "At least they had a presence at the Emmys, which was new for them."
Godbless ya Bateman. As for the possibilty of a movie, does anyone think that could really work (much less even happen)? Maybe it's because I always watched the show on DVD, but I always felt that one of the reasons AD worked so well was b/c it was such a quick, rapid fire energy that I'm not sure could be carried over for 90 minutes (although you could make the argument that the series final 4 was in some ways a mini-movie, but I'm still not sold yet.)

I love how everyone is assuming that Hurwitz quit simply because HE wasn't getting enough cash. Weren't there rumors that Showtime would make them reduce the cast by cutting down the budget?

I'm glad it is ending because the show couldn't have had a better finale.

Even if it was just all about the money to Hurwitz, does that mean it was the wrong decision? No, it wasn't. I'll miss the show, but I'm not going to become some dillusional Firefly fan who thinks that every time Arrested Development comes up in an interview with anyone even remotely involved in the show means there will be a new season. Besides, Mitch has already given us more than we could even begin to ask for and so if he's ready to call it quits, then he has every right to do so. Here's hoping he finds more success in the future. Also, kudos to Jim Valley for not trying to keep the show going either.

Wow, that's an ugly cover. It looks like Bateman has a stump for a hand as he clutches that paint roller. The cover quote is also the same as S2. Oh well, they could have a pic of Jeffery Tambor t-bagging Michael Cera and I'd still buy it.

Good call on the quote. Bad call on your photo desires.

I think the cover art is fine and it will look good on the shelf because it will be white-orange-white spines.

The colors are fine, just something about that stump and the fact that he's folding his arms and holding a paint roller while wearing a nice suit bothers me (that tie looks damn good on him I must say)

Fine cover. I just hope it's not like SeasonTwo with that horrible plastic cover that tends to slowly rip the edges to hell everytime you slip it over the box.

My guess is that the plastic cover will be white with an orange cardboard box housing the slip cases. After letting it soak in, I guess I can tolerate the cover (but I won't be sad if they change it).

Yeah, I'm trying really hard not to download any of seasons 3s episodes in wait of the DVD. I've been watching season 1 and 2 recently and god damn the tears are just a commen. Even crazier is how many times I say "come on" in my life due to this show. I'm assuming the disc set will just be 2 discs?

Just to keep this thread where it belongs, I watched Season One last weekend, I'm doing Two this weekend and Three after that.

I absolutely forgot how great the first season was. I thoght Season Two was there they picked up their stride, but it really was a great show out of the gate.
