Bad news for you Arrested Development watchers

[angela_o]

Variety.com and other media outlets are reporting that the Arrested Development's episode order has been cut from 22 to 13. Looks like the show's luck might have finally run out. Kitchen Confidential is also being pulled for the rest of sweeps. Fox is going to air repeats of Prison Break in that block of time instead. I'm firmly adhering to the "no news is good news" approach on the VM front as far episode order is concerned.

I know that lots of people love PB, although I haven't ever watched it. But I've heard that Fox is holding the back half of the season until late next spring? Is that true? Because it seems like an odd programming strategy to me.

Yeah, just another example of idiot powers-that-be. I think their original idea is that PB is strong enough to carry until May and then become a strong summer show. But the problem is that with Fox yanking it just as the audience is getting really invested, the audience is going to turn and feel betrayed. Every critic, tv columnist and ent news magazine I've seen has said that this is a BAD idea by Fox. NO ONE is for it. I read in one report that a tv columnist is afraid of watching anything now for fear it is going to be yanked before its time.
