the show that was...
A great show that lit up many a television set over the past few years was finally laid to rest last night, on the FOX network. Yes, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT ended it's all too brief run with a 2 hour marathon last night. And for the first time in ages, I actually stayed home and watched TV on a friday evening.
Okay, so, a show that ran for almost a full 3 years isn't exactly too brief in todays day and age of sitcoms being cancelled after one airing, despite the star power behind the show. But AD had a devoted fan base, and pulled in regular numbers, pretty much every time it aired. However, this wasn't enough for the execs at FOX. And sure, they run a business, and if it ain't making money, I guess they have to do what they got to. It's just sad that a show like AD, which in my limited scope of TV watching experience, was a damn fine original take on the half hour comedy. I'm sad to see it go. In it's final days, there were rumors of a cable network like SHOWTIME considering taking on the show, but no truth has come to light.
At any rate, if you have yet to enjoy this killer show, I highly suggest purchasing the first and second season DVD sets, then showing your support by downloading the third season, and finally buying the third season when it's released on DVD. You won't be disappointed!
