Arrested Development (Mostly Likely) Will Return
But not to FOX (unless they wise up).
They had Brian Grazer (Glazer?) on the radio this morning. He said that they've been shopping the show around and there is PLENTY of interest from networks and that it WILL be coming back. Didn't say when or who, but gave enough hints that suggest ABC.
(Those who ask for a link please remember he was on the RADIO).

Honestly, as long as it remains on TV somewhere, I'll be happy.

This is spectacular news. I will follow this show anywhere. If it goes to ABC, I will watch it on ABC. If it goes to Noggin, I will camp outside my cable company until they add Noggin to the lineup -- and if they don't, I will switch cable companies. If it goes to Univision, I will learn Spanish.

I am with you on this, and fortuantly for me I already have Noggin!
But they have to bring the 1st 3 seasons with them, be able to rebroadcast to bring everyone up to the new season. Anyone know if this could be a possibility?

Personally, I think Local Cable Access might be good... they would have to lower their budget a lot... but Busters hand would still be covered!

Critical acclaim doesn't pay the bills. The show will be picked up by someone else only if that someone else thinks it can make money with it.

I would hardly call putting it in the post-Simpsons slot "dangling it out in never-never land." You can't blame FOX scheduling for the lack of rating success.

I said this year. Not when it was behind the Simpsons.

You said "this last year" - make up your mind.
Monday at 8 is not never-never land either. Friday is never-never land. Thursday at 9 vs a powerhouse like CSI is never-never land.
