thanks for making it clear that you were going to show FOUR back-to-back episodes of arrested development tonight. that's right in time to compete against the olypic's opening ceremonies! you rock ever so much!

The last four episodes before being canned, or three repeats and a new one? They announced at some point that midseason, they were just going to run the rest of the episodes in one night and call it a series finale, but wow thats dumb to do it tonight.
On the upside, I heard that a few cable networks are interested in picking up AD the way Family Guy, King of the Hill, and Futurama were. So there might be new episodes yet. And they're going to put the entire series on one DVD set, to be out this summer.

i'm thinking it's the last four. i didn't find out until i happened upon the free paper in the train on the way to work this morning.
fox hates AD. they're mostly idiots.

i've heard similar rumours regarding cable. however,i remain sans cable.

i'll be looking forward to the new set.

I hope they go well, but I, alas, am sans actively broadcast TV. I found a tape of Queer Eye episodes from the first season, in fact the first two episodes of the series (though a rebroadcast of the first episode, so with the theme music, not with the non-theme music, and Jai in the credits, not unnamed black guy), but thats the closest we've been to broadcast TV...
Can you tape on channel while watching another? Are you serious about watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics?
