"Arrested Development" will have a two-hour sendoff Feb. 10. That's in sweeps. Exciting, eh?
Wonder what it's up against. Oh, that's right -- the Olympics.
SPECIAL TWO-HOUR SEASON FINALE EPISODE OF
“ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT” TO AIR FRIDAY, FEB. 10, ON FOX
Justine Bateman, Judge Reinhold Guest-Star
A two-hour season finale episode of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT will air Friday, Feb. 10 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
In the season finale, George Sr. hires a new attorney who asks the Bluths to participate in a mock trial to help prepare them for the real thing. The attorney gets actor Judge Reinhold to preside over the mock case. Meanwhile, Buster fakes a coma to get out of testifying and George Michael and Maeby participate in a mock wedding to entertain hospital patients. Back at the office, Michael discovers he may have a long-lost sister named Nellie Bluth (Justine Bateman). In an effort to get to the bottom of things, Michael tracks down Nellie and hires her as a consultant for The Bluth Co. Unfortunately, Michael discovers Nellie’s hands-on approach is more than he bargained for. Meanwhile, Gob goes to Iraq to perform his Christian magic act on the USO tour and ends up incarcerated. Michael learns George Sr. sent Gob to Iraq to burn down the model home he built there, so Michael and Buster fly to Iraq to spring Gob from prison. Together, the Bluth brothers head to the model home, where they make a discovery that could end the family’s legal troubles forever. Back in Orange County, Lucille decides to throw a yacht party to celebrate. The Bluths gather aboard the Queen Mary for a trip that ends up being far from smooth sailing.
Isn't there some talk about ABC or Showtime picking up Arrested Development? Also, didn't they not even show AR during the fall sweeps? Is the 2 hour block of a show of some respect, or is it just cheap filler on a time when they will get slautered.
I hope they do know that there are those of us in the Heartland that do love the show!

I cannot believe this show is being cancelled but it sounds like there will be one heck of a sendoff! I've been a viewer of this show from day 1 and I still believe that the only reason AD is being cancelled is because my friends and I, like everyone else I know that watches it, gather around one TV and enjoy it together instead of using up 3 or 4 TVs. If everyone did this same thing then we have the primary reason why the "viewing audience" is much larger than it seems. I hope this gets picked up by someone else, please would someone have the courage....PLEASE!!!!
