What is a little outside the norm in this case is that Fox <br />Entertainment President Gail Berman has responded to the show's fans. <br /><br />"Thank you for your e-mail and your passionate support of 'Arrested <br />Development,' " Berman writes in an e-mail addressed to fans of the show <br />(you can see the full text at showbiz blog Defamer.com). "While the show <br />has finished production for its second season, contrary to the rumors <br />you may have heard or read on the Internet, it is NOT canceled." <br /><br />Earlier, Fox had announced that the May 1 premiere of "American Dad" <br />was moving from 8:30 to 7:30 p.m. CST - "Arrested's" time slot. The <br />Hollywood trade papers also reported that "Arrested Development" would end <br />its season before May sweeps (as it did last year) and possibly have its <br />episode order reduced. <br /><br />More than e-mails or campaigns to send banana-shape stress balls to <br />Berman, an effort that has already raised more than $1,000, Berman says <br />the best way to ensure the show's future is to watch it. "Arrested <br />Development," which won the Emmy for best comedy series last fall, currently <br />draws only a little more than 6 million viewers per week. </I>Pete Blackwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12705795022786139315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157958.post-1108656104794375212005-02-17T08:01:00.000-08:002005-02-17T08:01:00.000-08:00That being said, I think two animated shows -- Sou...That being said, I think two animated shows -- South Park and The Simpsons -- can easily make a claim for the funnist show of the '00s.Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204239335140313863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157958.post-1108656044889443692005-02-17T08:00:00.000-08:002005-02-17T08:00:00.000-08:00I think Scrubs is a very good show, an actually fu...I think Scrubs is a very good show, an actually funny sitcom (which is increasingly rare... or perhaps just rare) but AD is up there in all-time classic range already, as far as I'm concerned. <br /><br />It's the best American sitcom since Seinfeld, me thinks... several degrees better than the excellent Curb Your Enthusiasm.Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204239335140313863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157958.post-1108609127882522882005-02-16T18:58:00.000-08:002005-02-16T18:58:00.000-08:00Agreed that it is one of the better (and original)...Agreed that it is one of the better (and original) comedy shows on TV these days, but, second only to "Scrubs"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157958.post-1108450610699879762005-02-14T22:56:00.000-08:002005-02-14T22:56:00.000-08:00Sundays at 8 or 8:30 I believe.

It's much more story arc based than many comedies, which may in fact be why that a mass audience isn't "catching on" (woe though it be to the rest of us). <br /><br />Huge thread on this topic currently raging over on our sister station, BlogCritics.org, if anyone is interested.Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204239335140313863noreply@blogger.com
