I really hope some cable network can scrape up the money for Arrested Development.

"Arrested Development" had promise, but often grabbed at the stupid, juvenile, and inane, rather than at the sublimely absurd and ridiculous.

Oh well.

That's a shame about Arrested Development -- probably the funniest network show on TV these days. As for 7th Heaven, it's about 3-4 years too late; the show should have wrapped up ages ago.

I've never seen an episode of 7th Heaven.

As far as AD is concerned, Jeffrey Tambor has been on more canceled series than any actor besides Ted McGinley.

7th Heaven was never my cup of tea, but it seems to have gotten stupider through time.

Arrested Development is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen on television. A real bummer...

Arresting Development was stuck in a 9:30 slot with no lead in. Then it was moved to an earlier slot, but still didn't have any comparable companion.

I watched it a few times, but kept forgetting that it was on.

I love the show House....that rules. I think Arrested Development will wind up on Showtime or the WB. I don't think the final nail has happened yet on this show. Not with the awards it gets and the DVD sales of the show are pretty strong.

I like 7th Heaven in the beginning but, unfortunately, it's become the same old stuff. Kids having sex, getting pregnant, parents clueless.

Yeah, but you never know... I mean it's like they've got the worst (bleep)ing lawyers or something.

Same here...and the same thing happened with NBC's Freaks and Geeks which ruled the earth of my TV world a few years ago. Amazing show but was thrown onto 4 different nights and times. Nobody knew when it was on to watch!

Agreed. Its "creative exhaustion" became apparent several years ago.

Ted McGinley is on that ABC show with Kelly Rippa...I give that one maybe two more seasons...just enough to run in horrible syndication on TBS or WGN at 4:30 pm.

AD is a great show. I love that all these people from Happy Days are on it.
I think that it is one of the few shows that I watch.
