You're half right, guest. Fox did give Arrested Development 3 seasons, although they were constantly downsizing the orders, resulting in an abbreviated 13 ep 3rd season. But the poor ratings caused Fox to constantly shift the time slot beginning in the first season and not even try to promote the show, which is no way to lift a program out of a ratings slump. My point is that the "impatient little kid" attitude of networks these days is bad for programming.

The way I see it this is borrowing from "Deadwood." On THAT show, there were many *whores* featured weekly. On THIS show they've simply replaced them with *actors* who -- if rumors are correct -- are being paid to have sex with other actors, (let's hope they're getting paid A LOT). Arrested Development was a great show but Fox didn't cancel prematurely. They gave it 3 seasons, which was generous imo, and for whatever reason, it didn't find an audience.

I hope HBO paid you well to help fan the flame of this (non)controversy to drive people to tune in. Good job! (No, it's not worth registering for that line, sorry.)

I don't know it's terrible, because I stopped watching it. For all I know it could be the shit. It's obvious you're just another Milch hater angry over Deadwood, which is understandable. But you types never get the story straight. HBO is the culprit behind the death of Deadwood. The show was a "period" show and thus cost heaps and heaps of gold to produce. That is why it died. Milch had very little to do with it. The fact that he managed to spin a cancellation into a new project is a credit to his deftness and he shouldn't be the object of so much misdirected anger. It's disingenuous, I believe, for you to say I compared JC to Seinfeld. I did not.

If HBO got rights to Firefly, there would be world peace. And hey, I love John from Cincinnati!

I was totally not turned on at all by this until you mentioned Firefly.

I'm not really a John from Cincinnati fan (I gave it four eps and it didn't grab me). But to say something is a "proven flop" at this point is premature. Such attitudes have fomented the current modus operandi at network television, which is "cancel anything that doesn't positively come roaring outta the gate". That attitude cost us Arrested Development and would've kept many beloved shows like Seinfeld and Cheers outta our homes had that been the prevailing attitude back in the day. It's unfortunate.
