Arrested Development renewed? NY Post Online rumor PAGE SIX

Richard Johnson from Page Six - WE HEAR . . .


February 28, 2006 -- THAT fans of "Arrested Development" can relax. Word is Showtime not only picked up the canceled Fox show but also ordered 26 more episodes . . .
Here is the link from Page Six if you have a New York Post ID (free to sign up)

That would rock, considering there were only 53 episodes total. I may be ordering SHOWTIME.

Now the thing is, do you believe the journalist OR the New York Post?

I think the Showtime rumor has been floating for a few weeks now, but it hasn't gone past "rumor" stage. When Showtime actually announces the next season, along with a start date, I'll be

I think if it goes to Showtime, they should either stay with the censoring or just have the first episode filled with curses, even use a curse in episode title.

Either way I'm happy if this is true.

Kristin at E! online said yesterday that as far as she knows, it's still rumour, but a reliable cast member said a deal is "CLOSE", so right now it was a little better than 50/50 it would be back... So I think until showtime makes an official statement, this is the same rumour, so it's not officially a done deal yet.

Hmm, just added Showtime and HBO to my cable lineup. I did this for The Sopranos, but I'll keep it for AD if it does go to Showtime.

I wouldn't add showtime, but would rather just wait for the DVDs. But it would be great news if it pans out.

They better leave in all of the censors. That is one of the tiny pieces of the heart of the show in my opinion. I look at it as the "documentary filmmakers" doing the censoring, and not the network.

Same here. Getting Showtime would involve switching to digital cable for me, and it is more hassle than its worth (getting it to work with my standalone TiVo, more $$, room for a cable box, etc. etc.)

This has been rumoured in many places before. Word has it Showtime was looking to pick it up for 2 13 episode seasons, and they are very very close to signing it.

I would finally be able to watch it in HD (no Fox on my cable and no OTA) and this would add more HD content overall to my cable package. I have been waiting to add Showtime for a good reason and this would give me that reason, and I would let them know why I added them.

There's got to be a better way to say that.

As much as I loved the show... I can't see it getting renewed. It wrapped up so nicley that I would rather just leave it at that.

But for the sake of everyone else in this thread... ignore this post, Showtime.

Since NewsCorp owns both the Post and FOX if this doesn't pan out as true, can we add this to the list of ways FOX doesn't support good shows?

Blecch ... one of the local radio stations this morning reported as fact that Showtime had picked up 26 episodes. I get to my computer and find out it's just the same unsubstantiated reports in the OP. I feel as if a doctor just said "we lost your father" ...
