I love AD and cannot come to grips with the idea that Michael and George Michael in Cabo is the end all be all of AD. I seriously cannot afford Showtime, even though I expect the price to go down if they get AD. I am crossing my fingers that ABC will get it, because they have too many bad shows. According to Jim is one, except that Jim utters a few good lines once in a while and keeps you watching, and Kimberly Williams is too good looking to not be on network primetime. So everybody, please, keep your finger crossed that ABC will pick it up, and I can watch my favorite show. I really want it to continue so we can see how George Sr. uses his freedom, what he does with Bob Loblaw, Stan Sitwell, and Hello (An-nyong), and if Michael will stop calling Ann Veal egg now that George Michael likes Maeby, who is not his cousin.

WTF? I didn't even know it was on because I'm used to it being shown on Mondays. If they actually wanted people to watch, then it might help not pull this kind of bait and switch crap on the show's fans.

honestly, the first episode of AD i had seen was the season finale and i loved every second of it. I went out and bought season one and i finished it in less than a day. If it doesn't come back for a season four I may as well kill myself. It's just THAT DAMN GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the movie idea was a bit of a red herring, only used to get Arrested Development fans talking that there might be a movie. But I don't see a movie happening in this case. It may have also been a sort-of slap at Fox and their handling of the show Firefly, which of course spawned the Serenity movie. Or maybe it was Ron Howard saying that AD could have been a successful movie but, as we all know, wasn't an overly successful TV show.

What is your take on the hint of a movie Tom?

Um, Al . . . "Poe"? Is this a part of a bigger joke of which I am unaware? Totally lost here. Please, a real clue, Al.

Chris: I think I already did crack on them. I stand by it - it was a joke, afterall.

I love AD, I miss AD, hopefully someone will pick it up and it continues on its course. But please do not crack on Olympics opening ceremonies and wrestling fans.

Scott: I'm guessing Showtime is VERY aware of how many potential new subscribers are thinking the same thing. Count me among them! Al: I'm really not sure what you're alluding to. Care to clue me in?

If it's truly gone for good, I will miss it. If it's picked up by Showtime, I'm subscribing to it the next day.
