Arrested Development: Canceled

So says CNN, anyway.

We’ve heard this before, but I think it’s really happening this time, unfortunately. The best comedy on television is getting the axe, due to paltry ratings. Now, I won’t flip out on FOX like a lot of bloggers . . . they’re a television network and their success is, for better or for worse, measured by the number of viewers they garner, not the quality of their programming or the number of major awards said programming has won (five Emmys, one Golden Globe) despite low viewership. This is why American Idol stays on the air, while Arrested Development gets canceled.

No, friends, my flip-out is reserved for the American public . . . particularly those who contributed to this cancellation by not watching, loving, and spreading the word about this magnificent comedy. A pox be upon your houses. A POX!

I’m hoping and praying that some other network will possibly pick AD up, but the chances of that happening are slim to none. At least I have the DVDs . . .
