Arrested Development Nears Its End

November 13, 2005

Since the beginning Arrested Development has appealed to my slightly offbeat humor. After seeing the first episode, I was sure this was on Fox’s short list of shows to cancel. I was happily amazed when it managed its way through a first and second season. With it’s late start this season, I was sure it had finally saw it’s demise.

I was happy to see it return to TV for a third season last week with back to back episodes.

However, that was short lived according to this CNN article. Apparently the viewership was down and Fox has decided to omit Arrested Development from November sweeps. It will then return in December to finish out only 13 episodes this season. Fox is not renewing past there.

A sad end for an entertaining, Emmy award winning show, that was a welcome departure from the similarity amongst most other popular network shows. It’s this thinking that killed Firefly and will continue to kill shows with small loyal followings. Each will be replaced with generic mindless dribble of bad writing and bad acting.

    I think I need glasses. This doesn’t look like a MasterWish post. :)
