I've always just watched AD on DVD, so it wouldn't really matter to me who picked it up as long someone does and the DVDs keep coming out. I suppose Showtime would be better just for the added creative freedom but at this point I'll take what I can get.

Excellent news. I'm glad AD is getting buzz like this; it deserves it.

That said, I hate reading articles from Variety. Their insider lingo makes me want to claw my eyes out.

Why not make it the first direct to DVD TV show? Say, four episodes a disc every two months or so?

But it wouldn't be as funny if we heard Fuck and actually saw breastesses.

I agree. Plus, I wouldn't feel comfortable discussing episodes with my mother (who's also a fan). Keep it the way it is.......maybe add a bit more to the length.

"The WMDs turn out to be Tobias' balls!"
"So this George Michael tried again to have sex with his cousin..."
"So she says she's glad she saved the moisture!"

"Ummm, err, they said the f-word." (Blush)

Or you could just subscribe the weekend before they have a marathon of them and then unsubscribe that Monday. Hell you could subscribe just for the day of the week that they play each episode. It's cheap but if you're on a budget and love the show.... I might do that for the Sopranos.

yeah, that stuff's about the limit I'd be willing to go. so long as the context is funny, it's all good. nudity, on the other hand, would probably be over the line. We both pretend the jokes like the one about the "moisture" didn't exist, so that's that. Still, I don't have showtime (only HBO) but I'd probably get it just for AD...... Weeds and Bullshit would also help.

The fuckers at comcast charge me $2 every time I change something with my cable. Such fuckers.

I think Dish is $5. Last time I switched something on DirecTV, it was free. I think that might of changed though.

Because that's a pretty big risk in itself. Till the ink is on the paper, I wont be doing any dances.

I have been debating adding Showtime. I have HBO and I would like more HD, but I have not seen $15 a month worth of programming on it. AD would push me to pick it up.

I personally would love to have AD on at the same time as Bullshit, Family Business, and The L-Word. That would definitely push me over the edge from "catch them all on DVD" to "subscribe already!"

It's too bad Showtime's movie lineup is down to scraps, though.

I don't think I'd bother getting Showtime, despite how much I love Arrested Development, due to the fact I'd have to switch to digital cable, it would screw with my standalone TiVo, etc... too much hassle. As long as I can buy the series on DVD, I am 100% for this.

well this could turn out to be a great christmas. Plus whoever gets it should add it to iTunes for a little more revenue.

Should Showtime pick up AD, it in combination with Bullshit will have me sign up.

to Showtime for at least thinking of picking this show up.

Wowwow thisthis newsnews isis greatgreat..

lollol

This is good news that the show could possibly continue. But Showtime has a history of cancelling quality shows themselves. Dead like Me, Odyssey 5 etc. Not that ABC is any better.

Wouldn't it be logical to move it to FX? Keep it in-house and still maintain a particular reputation.

Thank fucking god for my lesbian roommate for getting Showtime only because of the L Word.

good news,far from anything substantial for more episodes. But any more AD is very welcome.

For the price tag... no. It would be much better to them for someone else to pay for it and allow them to rack up another 36 or so episodes to make it to the syndication 88 number.

Why would ABC want this show? It's not a comedy that works like the crap they have. The last time they had something remotely similar (and not in quality but just an "out of the norm" type show) was Life With Bonnie and that didn't stop them from cancelling it.
