@DCGoldPants Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 are you kidding? Hopefully Comedy Central picks it up. They could be even funnier over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raub Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 It's an awesome show, but seems to get lost in it's time slot. Maybe like the Family Guy, popular demand will bring it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaudry Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 We get 10 years of pure crap like "The Nanny" and a great show like this can't get ratings? Just plain sad. I was so hooked on that story. Damn you TV!!!! I've been preparing for this by filling the void with "The Office". Another damn funny show.

Mr. Nostril Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 So, are they at least finishing this season. They can't just end the show with everything that happened in the last episode. Michael unknowingly marying a mentally retarded woman George Sr. stuck in the wall and of course The reappearance of Onyong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Air Force Cane Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 i really liked this show and hope it continues somewhere. the writing was so fresh and funny.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nostril Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 The DVD sales are high enough that I kind of think it would be worth producing the show just for direct to DVD release. At the same time, I'm not that sad. I found out they'll continue through the midpoint of the season. That will give them some time to wrap things up. I prefer shows to have short runs. We now know arrested development won't just burn out, it will end still great. I'm happy for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo21 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- The Camdens will bid farewell to viewers in May when the WB Network's top-rated family drama "7th Heaven" ends its run after 10 seasons in what sources said was largely a cost-cutting move. The Bluth clan of Fox's ratings-challenged "Arrested Development" is also headed for the exit after Fox cut the third-season order on the Emmy-winning comedy to 13 episodes. Also getting the ax at Fox is "Arrested's" companion on Monday, the freshman comedy "Kitchen Confidential," whose order will not be extended beyond the initial 13 episodes. "7th Heaven," whose debut on August 26, 1996, marked the first-ever Monday broadcast of the then-fledging WB Network, will bow out as the longest-running family drama on television. After 10 seasons, the show is still a top draw for WB, averaging 5.1 million viewers this season to date. Creatively, the show also will go out in style, creator Brenda Hampton said. "I think this is the best season we've ever had, and we're planning a very exciting and heartwarming conclusion to the series," she said. "On the show, we talk about choosing your feelings, and we chose to feel happy and blessed to have been on the air for so long." There is talk about a potential "7th Heaven" spinoff, but Hampton admits that would be hard to do. "('7th Heaven') is a family show," she said. "I think the success of the show is that the family is intact with the mom, the dad and the children, so it is a very difficult show to spin off." Sources indicated that the reasons to take "7th Heaven" off the air were primarily financial. As series age, they get more and more expensive, with the price tag especially high for a show with a large cast like "7th Heaven." The cancellation of the long-running series also comes during a process of extensive cost-cutting across all Warner Bros. divisions. As for the demise of "Arrested," it comes just as the acclaimed comedy came back this week after a hiatus to make room for Fox's baseball coverage. The two back-to-back episodes averaged a paltry 4 million viewers Monday, sending Fox to fifth place in the 8 p.m. hour and putting a dent on the ratings of its lead-out, the rookie drama "Prison Break." There is a possibility that the show will be shopped around, but its high cost is expected to be prohibitive for a cable network. Fox said Thursday that it will pull "Arrested Development" and "Kitchen Confidential" off the schedule for the remaining three Mondays of the November sweep, replacing them with a rerun of the previous episode of "Prison Break" leading into an original episode of the serialized drama. "Arrested" and "Kitchen" are set to return to their time slots with original episodes December 5, following the fall finale of "Prison Break" on November 28. Copyright 2005 Reuters.

visionary Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I tried watching the show a few trimes, but I just didn't find it very funny. (and I have watched a lot of crappy sitcoms over the years that I thought were funnier (along with a lot of good ones too) sadly enough.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdowwe Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I loved that show, but it was on during the King of Queens this year. This pisses me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nostril Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I took a while to get to like the show. It's not something you can sit and watch one episode and "get it." You have to get to know the characters or it's nothing. My roomates watched the Season 1 DVD all the time, and that's how I finally started watching.
