I Swear To God I'll Stab You With A Fork

If you don't watch Arrested Development tonight. Fox is dumping the final four episodes of the third season tonight at 8 (Or 7, for us here in "real" time) against the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. It's a nice way for America to show that they have no taste whatsoever as they overwhelmingly choose to watch the athletes from Moldova parade under some obscure metaphor for Italian history (I'm guessing it's going to be a giant wooden head) rather than watching one of the funniest shows ever on television. There's a chance though, that these won't be the last episodes, in fact, ABC has offered series creator Mitchell Hurwitz a deal for 13 episodes to air next season, and Showtime has offered the show a two season deal. The only thing standing in the way is... Mitchell Hurwitz. Hurwitz isn't sure whether or not he wants to put the effort into totally moving his show to a new network when it doesn't even seem like anyone watches it. And yes, it feels like people watch it, but then you might want to reconsider that we only know about 10 people total, and the world doesn't revolve around us. Though it totally should.

And in, semi-related, because Judy Greer was on both shows news, Tom Cavanagh's new show 'Love Monkey', has been cancelled. Which is odd, since Cavanagh was just on Conan the night before, and Ivana Milicevic was on The Tony Danza show the same day (Why was I watching the Tony Danza show you ask? Because it's awesome, that's why). So on the week when there was finally some publicity for the show? Yeah, it's time to pull the plug. Three episodes and no one's picked up on it? Well then, it'll never catch on. Kill it. Then wrap the body in a rug and drop it in a lake. And let's never speak of it again. Ah well. I was kind of sentimental about a show that had Ben Folds as a guest star. But then it kind lost me when it had James Blunt on as a guest star in the next episode... because he scares me. It's the way he just... stares at you.
