Yes, but the point was that these would have been 3 of the 4 that are unaired as of now.

Exactly. Not only that, you can watch the files in QuickTime as well.

[Also, the videos put in the iTunes Store have a higher bitrate and resolution than most MPEG-4s made by you and me for the ability of to play on a TV as well. When I've been encoding music videos and concerts for the such for my iPod Video, I encode it just so that it fits the screen of the iPod.]

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.

Hmm...if the episodes do end up on iTunes, I'll definitely pay the $6 to watch them if it means possibly saving the show.

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.

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 Just more evidence that the "Nielsen" model is flawed & outdated.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.

The article specifically mentions they've made offers. I think that's something new. The rumors and speculation before this were that ABC and Showtime were interested, but nobody ever mentioned they made offers to pick up the for a fourth season. When you begin making offers, you usually want the ball rolling. ABC or Showtime, if making offers, probably want that fourth season to start once the fall season begins.

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?
