get arrested
Between the cold weather outside and my lack of progress in shopping for Christmas, I'm feeling a tad cranky at the moment. But one thing that brightened my day is this story about how my favorite TV show, 'Arrested Development' might live on despite being cut by Fox. Apparently both ABC & Showtime are interested in picking it up, with Showtime being the more hotly rumored suitor. It seems as though the series' high production costs (a HUGE 1.6 million per half-hour episode!) is the big stumbling block. These rumors came out last month when Fox cut their order on this seasons episodes from 22 to 13, but I figured it was just wishful thinking. But this new story appeared in a number of papers and websites today, so obviously something is going on. Hopefully the show will continue on somewhere.
