FOX just made the biggest mistake of its life+
America. We have some terrible news this morning.
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT IS BEING CANCELLED.
While this tragic news can hardly be described as surprising, it still saddens us to be faced with the knowledge that the funniest and most creative show on the air can't get enough of an audience to sustain it.
What the hell is everybody watching out there? One Tree Hill?
So we're going to get an abridged Season 3 of 13 episodes, with no new episodes until December 5, then it's just the gaping empty blackness of the void.
OK, American viewing public, I hope you're happy with your goddamn Two and a Half Men. - Amy
But there is a bright spot: 7th Heaven was also cancelled - the show that will always be known for introducing the world to Ashlee Simpson. - Emily

I got a tv just so I could watch Arrested Development. And I wrote a letter to Fox telling them, "I don't have a tv, but I got one just to watch this show. Please don't cancel it." Now I am going to throw my TV out. Until next Wednesday, that is, when a very good documentary program about America's next top model will air on PBS.
PS. UPN is PBS, right?

This is horrible, horrible news - AD is the best thing on TV! I've been watching it religiously in the UK and doing my best to make other people watch it. Thinking of the coffin falling on Gob never fails to me make me laugh and George Michael has got to be the best teenager on TV. Is there nothing we can do?

Oh my god. This is a tragedy.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
I mean, I don't have a TV, so I didn't really help matters, but I watched it over at friends' houses!
