‘Arrested’ released to Showtime
28 February 2006 :: By Mark Bodenrader
The New York Post is reporting that Showtime has picked up “Arrested Development,” which had been canceled by Fox, and ordered 26 more episodes.
OK, this show is great and all, might be the best on TV, blah, blah, blah, but I wonder if it can hold up under the weight of expectations of sustained excellence and the hype that has come with this media onslaught. To be honest, I think I’ve been fed all the “Arrested Development” I need, as well as all the “‘Arrested Development’ needs to be saved” stories I can bear. I like the run it had. I like where they left off. It didn’t become too stale.
That being said, I’m not about to argue against more episodes, thus more GOB.
But I’m not about to order Showtime either.

If that’s true then they’re going to have to start from scratch almost. The way the series ended on Fuc— I mean FOX tied all the little storylines together quite well and put a nice finish on it.
On the flip side, I thought the show was hil. ar. ious. and I’d love to see more of it. Ditto on the ordering Showtime though.

To order a crap TV channel for one friggin’ show…This is the question

Jim, if you can wait for it to hit DVD, you are probably better off. Showtime isn’t cheap.

This is why I love Bit Torrent, although since I don’t pay for Showtime I suppose it’s not the same as downloading a show ripped from the Fox broadcast. What a dilemma.
