Arrested Development's Death Rattle

[Riko]

Fox is showing the final four episodes from 8 to 10 p.m. Friday night.

Tonight is the night. Cue the funeral music.

It doesn't sound like it's gonna picked up either. This really sucks.

Although, after posting the above, I came across the following over at AICN:

The good news? Pay channel Showtime is, by all accounts, prepared to order new “Arrested” episodes as soon as Fox officially kicks it out the door. Which means we can finally see Lindsay Bluth Fünke naked and Ron Howard can, as appropriate, begin referring to certain characters as “cunts.”

Who knows how substantial that information actually is though. Only time will tell at this point in the game.

My fingers are crossed, man. This show is fucking brilliant and I'd fucking hurt the shitheads at fucking Fox that made this fucking decision. Fuck them.

So this should be episodes 10-13?

That is correct.

What an amazing final four eps! They tied up everything wonderfully, but still left room for the future by reshuffling family dynamics.

How great was it to see "Franklin" again! Along with Judge Reinhold, of course.

i also liked the petition-signing at the end...a nice gesture to the fans who had not "cashed out" of the Bluths like Fox had.
