Good idea. that means we'll get to see a lot more of Franklin

When does AD officially end on FOX? I notice its back tomorrow night with a new episode along with Kitchen Confidential.

The fact that KC wasn't really all that great a show probably didn't help; I don't think you can blame it's cancellation solely on AD. That said, I don't think Fox did *everything* it could for AD, but I agree that it did a lot. And by the way, someone said it was only ever in 2 timeslots (regularly) but wasn't it on at different times on Sunday between S1 and S2? I thought it was on later in S1 before they moved it behind Simpsons in S2.

It'd be great if it got picked up elsewhere, but I'd rather not get too optimistic and be pleasantly surprised if it does happen, then get my hopes up again only to be smashed again.

Great news! If the show was to move to cable, I do hope they keep censoring comedy bits though.

We have this same converation in every single Arrested Development thread.

"FOX sucks! They screwed the show and didn't support it!"

versus.

"FOX did what they could, the audience just isn't tuning in!"

I don't think anyone is going to change their minds by now.

Anyone read Entertainment Weekly's blurb on the Monday episode of AD? EW has done all they could to get people to watch this show.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
HEIDI KLUM AND 15 OTHER SUPERMODELS COMPLETELY NAKED!!
*program subject to change

If that doesn't get people to watch, then I don't know what will.

If the potential for carmen electra getting an award didn't drive folks to see it, nothing will. :(

On the other side.. Near USC?

That was great. :lol:

Plus The Critic, Sister Sister, Matlock, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Get Smart

Plus Mystery Science Theater 3000.

11 shows over the past what -- 20 years? Even if you only hit one show in five that's moved networks, I think Red Dog's "extremely rare" is still pretty accurate.

Don't get me wrong -- if Fox decides not to order a fourth season, I hope AD becomes one of the extremely rare shows that finds life on a new network. I'm just not laboring under any illusions that it's likely to happen.

I think something to consider with all the "extremely rare" cases listed is that they are linked by each having a devoted fanbase. And said fanbases made it their duty to make the shows they love as accessible to new fans as possible.

There is little chance that the AD fanbase is as devoted as the fanbase was for Firefly or Angel, but those shows went nowhere. Buffy did, but that was really a totally different situation that would have been more like seeing The West Wing move to CBS a couple of years ago when NBC's contract was up.

It think the AD fanbase is MUCH more devoted than Firefly or Angel but then again I was never in to any of those shows. But my friends that were in to Buffy never started watching Firefly or Angel.
