Showtime may rescue 'Arrested Development'

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Will the pay-TV environs of Showtime be a friendlier place for the Emmy-winning comedy "Arrested Development," which just got canceled by Fox?

Word around town this week is that Showtime is in talks to pick up the comedy about a chaotic family. Sources stressed that the talks are still exploratory and that it would be a big financial commitment on Showtime's part to pick up the show in its current form with a large ensemble cast that includes Jason Bateman, Jeffrey Tambor, Portia de Rossi, Jessica Walter and Will Arnett.

"Arrested" was an instant hit with critics following its debut on Fox in late 2003, but the show never pulled in much of a crowd, even after it won the Emmy for best comedy series in 2004. Last month, Fox threw in the towel, cutting its episode order for "Arrested's" third season from its initial 22-episode ticket to 13.

Representatives for Showtime, and the series' producers 20th Century Fox TV and Imagine TV declined comment late Tuesday.

During black friday, best buy had season 1 and 2 for $14 each. Bought one of each although I already own season 1. The bad thing is they had quite a bit(except for season 1, I bought one of the last ones) at 7 pm that night.

thanks for posting the exact same thing the original poster did.

[JoeChalupa]

I've never seen this show.

[Kori Ellis]

I've never seen this show.

Me either.

[Trainwreck2100]

Fox is stupid

[TheWriter]

ABC is also after AD.

Also, AD is not canceled! Will it be? Probably. Is it? No.

[chode_regulator]

Me either.
its a good one. kinda hectic and oddball humor.

[chode_regulator]

good point. but as you just said, probably will be. it was voted as the show that is probably going to be canceled that least should be, or something like that, by viewers at the beginning of the tv season in a national survey.

Just wanted to pound the point home...

[chode_regulator]

good job. glad someone around here is pounding home the point. thats a skill few people take seriously these days.

[TheWriter]

Imagine owns the show, not Fox.

So if they an find a buyer (which they seem to be doing now) then Arrested will be canceled but will live on on another network or cable channel.

[chode_regulator]

semantics.

[TheWriter]

semantics.

Not really, but go for it.

[King]

I would get Showtime for that show alone.

I'd rather it go to HBO, though, so I could get Rome, Entourage, CYE, and A. Dev.

[T Park]

What is the deal with Entourage.

Why so few shows in season 1?

[chode_regulator]

fuck entourage. CYE and da ali g show are 2 of the funniest shows on all of tv right now. only ones that can compete are simpsons family guy ATHF and sea lab

[TheWriter]

What is the deal with Entourage.

Why so few shows in season 1?

Season 1 was like a long pilot.

HBO wanted to base season ones success/potential in order to gauge whether or not to bring it back for a second season.

Don't worry though, season 3 will be 23 episodes long.

How can they cancel a show with Fonzie and Cha-Chi in it


oh wait........Happy Days was canceled :lol

[maxpower]

well, outside of the first ep of this season, fonzie's been gone, thus the intro of bob loblaw(greatest name ever). Winkler has a new show on cbs,iirc.

[Duff McCartney]

I'm waiting for Deadwood to come back. What a great show.

[JoeChalupa]

I'll wait for them to come out on DVD. Seems like every freakin' show comes out on DVD now.
Plus I don't have any of the premium channels.
