    So, it's finally here. The end of one of the most underappreciated shows in the past 10 years, maybe longer. It was rarely advertised, has won Emmy's, SAG awards, as well as other awards along the way, constantly gets put on hiatus. Only FOX could take such a great show and stomp it into "bolivian".

    Taste the sad, ClutchFans. :( If only there was a way to cirsumvent the security at the Neilsen ratings offices and alter the results. "Arrested Development has higher ratings than the Olympic opening ceremonies?" :eek: :eek: :eek:

    It is sad indeed, and I have started buying the DVD's of the season. I will have to relive the old memories since FOX won't allow them to continue to make new ones.

    there has been zero buzz from this, this is the first time I heard it. :eek:

    Sometimes I think when Fox doesn't want a show for whatever reason, they will stop promoting it and move around the airdates to legitamize that it was a "bad" show. Watch this catch 22,
    "No one watched the finale, it must be a bad show!"
    "Well, that's because you broadcast it during the opening ceremonies and didn't advertise that it would be showing that day! No-one knew!"
    "Of course we did it during the ceremonies, it was a bad show! and why would we clog our airtime with commercials for a bad show?"

    addendum: and if that isn't enough, William Hung is appearing as a guest star.

    I heard something about Showtime picking it up or some network working to pick it up..

    is that just a rumor?

    Fox loves to kill good shows.

    Firefly, for existence.

    Then they keep showing American Idol. Ugh.

    hey if Fox isn't making any money from this show, they should just remember that there's always money in the banana stand...

    I love this show and it's sad to see it go...I hope ABC or another network will pick it up but seems unlikely. The same thing happened to "Freaks and Geeks". I loved that show but it got cancelled and never picked up.

    I bet if this were a Seinfeld thread, there would be more than 15 replies by now...







    (even though though Arrested Development is far superior)

    arrested development was an alright show. it just had this feel of over the top and trying too hard sometimes.

    Supposedly Showtime is close to getting it, but I hope not since I don't have Showtime. Still, as long as somebody picks it up, I'll find a way to watch it.
