Come on! "Arrested" in Trouble

"Whenever I get nervous, I sing a little tune," explains Mrs Featherbottom. Well, she'd rival Callas, I think, at news of Fox's decision to cut back its already small order. This, Arrested Development's third season, will now just be 13 episodes long, and we've already seen five of them. It is absolutely brilliant, and I don't understand the problem here. How are people missing the boat here? AD is one of the funniest series on television, and nobody's watching it. Oh! I know, FOX doesn't promote the show, first of all. It says it loves the show, but it is not promoted enough. I'm fuming over the news. Come on! These are some of the hardest working actors in the business -- not only are they doing their collective job and doing it so well, but they are doing their collective job and doing it so well. Here, maybe for the last time, Mrs Featherbottom spends quality time with her wife, Lindsay, and brother-in-law Michael, cooking bangers-in-the-mouth for breakfast.

It's "Whenever I get a wee bit scared I hum a little tune." Slut.

"oh, well, excuuuuse me" (of course, said while bending slightly at the waist and pumping the arms to and fro)

"Arrested Development."
Hmph.
I've yet to watch this damn show.
I'm sure it's very funny. I just can't get myself organized to a tv schedule lately.
But, at my Comic Book Club (which unfortunately also goes by the unofficial but incredibly persistent and unkillable moniker, The Crabapplers... it's a long, boring hideous story) a couple of my fellow comic book geeks were insane fans of the now defunct "Mr. Show," co-"hosted" by David Cross. From what miniscule amounts I saw of THAT show, let me say this: that's some funny hoo-ha there, boy!
Good luck in your quest for non-cancellation of AD...
