Arrested Development
I have heard many rumors lately concerning the demise of one of the top ten shows of the last twenty years. If this is true it would be a total shame. I think the main problem is that Arrested Development is too smart for the masses. When American Idol is the #1 show in America you know that the country is 85% intarded? Arrested Development is one of those shows that has very subtle humor and therefore only about 5% of the country gets it. Look at the #1 comedy in America. Everybody Hates Raymond. The comedy is so juvenile that you can almost predict what idiotic situation Raymond is going to get himself into next. Fox will probably be replacing Arrested Development with America's Wildest Bar Mitzvahs next season. Please do me a favor and check it out if you haven't done so already. Unfortunately it may be too late.

Excellent point. Arrested Development is a smart show, one of the few TV shows that I still watch. Have you seen The Office? That show is also very clever, however, I think that mainstream America just doesn't get it. If either of those shows were to get dropped, I would hope that Comedy Central would pick them up.
Which Office are you referring to? I love the British version, but I have trouble getting into the American version because I am so used to the other. You just can't top David Brent, Finchie and Gareth Keenan.
I've seen three episodes of each version. I like the UK one a bit more, but they're both funny in their own ways.
Are you going to add me to your links so I can stop shamelessly plugging my site? ;-)
