Oh, sorry I didn't pick up on that.

Anyway, I'd definately pick those up.

You mean for $6 I can finally be counted as a viewer without a Neilsen box? This may be the last chance we, as viewers, have the opportunity to literally put our money where our mouths are and show Fox people do care about the Bluths.

moot point, Jobs announced SNL content for iTunes but it looks like that is it for new video content. No Fox shows in the mix yet.

Same here.

No but TV guide is reporting that the Office is doing phenomenal on iTunes. Just more evidence that the "Nielsen" model is flawed & outdated.
The Office is a top 20 show amongst Tivo users & generates a ton of d/ls on iTunes where you actually have to pay for it, yet doesn't garner great Nielsen numbers. It just doesn't add up.
It would definitely be interesting to see how well those AD episodes do if they were made available.

Anyone else catch the AD metions on Cartoon Network, during Family Guy reruns?
Arrested Development
Genius.
Cancelled.
Maybe we should pick it up.
We've taken stuff from FOX's trash before...
Made me chuckle anyway...

I guess in this week's Entertainment Weekly (need someone to officially confirm this) but Showtime and ABC have made official offers to pick up the 4th season. Awesome.

Got the mag today (don't know how, I don't recall subscribing), and it does indeed say that ABC and Showtime have made offers.
It's on page 15.

I swear to God, Fox just needs to let this show go to either ABC or Showtime. They need to stop being dicks about it and just let it go to a network who may actually give a shit about it.

Well, guess we just have different sources, but I have heard that they were making offers already from the flood of ABC/Showtime news pieces that came out. Hell, even specifics that it would have to be no less than a 22 episode order.
As for the Fox deal, you do realize that Fox has plenty to gain from another network taking it. They still retain DVD distribution and are the production company of the show. So if someone else wants to take it into syndication numbers of 88 episodes, they'll be glad to let it get piss poor ratings on another network. Who said Fox was being a dick about it?

That was the first official news that I have heard about real offers being made to my understanding. Where did you hear Jack that it had to be no less than a 22 episode order?
