Good News For People Who Love Bad News
Showtime, ABC may bail out 'Arrested'Supposedly on its last legs, Fox's "Arrested Development" may see new life on either ABC or Showtime once Fox officially cancels it. Though no official talks have taken place, both networks have supposedly called Fox over getting the rights to the hilarious, Grammy-winning yet low-rated comedy.
According to Daily Variety, the show costs $1.6 million per episode to make, which contributed to Fox's recent decision to cut this season from 22 to 13 episodes. That and the fact that it averages only 4 million viewers per week, low for network television, but twice the average of a hit show on cable.
The news comes two weeks after executive producer Brian Glazer told CNN he was working to make sure this year wouldn't be "Arrested Development's" last, though he didn't provide details.
This season ends in late January or early February.
