Never watched it, about time, about time.

40below: Good riddance.

Agreed, except Arrested Development doesn't deserve to be cancelled. It's a really smart show, whereas "Malcolm" and "That 70's Show" got tired after a couple of seasons. Arrested still has some life in it.

I don't think Malcom and That 70's Show were cancelled so much as run their course.

I'm still sad about AD, but I'm hoping Showtime picks it up.

arrested development is a great show, hence all of the critics' lists and awards.

malcolm i'm guessing just sort out sputtered out, it's been on for awhile

two of the main characters of that 70's show, including the one the show was centered around, left. i'm surprised they gave this season a go-ahead.

fox has farked up a lot of shows that had big followings, praise from people in the industry, and went on to have very good dvd sales. they need to take a look at their marketing and scheduling and fix those problems if they want another 16+ season cashcow like the simpsons to take hold.

Looks like the last 4 episodes of Arrested will air opposing the opening of the Winter Olympics. Bravo Fox, bravo...

In a few years were going to have 8 shows. 24,lost,american idol,oprah,springer,the price is right,and south park.

I dug "Malcolm" for a while. We'll see "That 70s" forever on FX.

"Arrested", "That 70's", and "Malcolm". For some reason, I feel like I'm in a forum populated by Hollywood big wigs.

/could just be the cold medicine talking

Memories of the incessant laugh track of That 70's Show enrages me to this day.

Too bad about Malcom in the Middle and Arrested Development, though.

That '70s Show should end soon. It's lost too many characters. It's better to end it before it's super-lame.

It ended for me last season. When the Eric Forman character left the show was over.

Fox HAD to cancel them, to make room for "Celebrity Ice Skating" and so forth.

The Arrested Development haters need to realize there's more to comedy than "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Two and a Half Men".

I watched AD once and was immediately hooked. Brilliant writing.

The Bluths shall rise again.

Haven't watched Malcolm in a long time, never had a chance to watch Arrested, and haven't seen a new episode of 70's show in years. Been watching the re-runs on FX when I can though.

Take a good look at THESE, cause it's the LAST TIME!

Networks that can't make shows like Arrested Development work are pathetic.

Great show (bad time slot), should have never aired, should have been cancled years ago (even though it was good for the first couple of years).

hahah STILL haven't OFFICIALLY cancelled arrested development. i think it's got a pretty good chance at going to showtime, and want the AD guys to make the decision on how to handle it. cause if fox comes right out and says "AD CANCELLED" then it comes back to another network, it might lose some viewership, whereas never officially stating it's cancelled and allowing them to switch over to pay cable it won't look forced, and may increase viewership. that, and the fox entertainment president absolutely LOVES the show. he's the sole reason it came back for a third season. props to him.

that 70's show is surprisingly funny. everytime i sit down late at night to channel surf and nothing is on, i can always fall back on 70's syndication on fx. it's a good time killer.

as for malcolm... never caught my interest.

oh by the way, please buy season one and two of arrested development on DVD. i bought them. twice. copies for myself, and copies for a friend. DO YOUR PART....

a trick is something a whore does for money!

Won't miss any of that.

As long as they bring back Firefly.

Good, good, and jumped the shark two years ago.

Maybe this means they really will bring back Futurama.

At last, our long national nightmare is over.

Missing from this list: The Simpsons

Seriously. Just let it die. Please

Life is unfair...

/does this count as a They Might Be Giants reference?

This thread useless without Laura Prepon pics...

Arrested Development is JUST NOT FUNNY. Get over it. It's like "Seinfeld" -- it's not funny, and the only people who say it's funny are pretentious, whiny Blue America types who try to appear sophisticated by pretending to like it.

Oh, and there are also the people who have lied to themselves and others for so long that they actually believe it after a while. But nobody else.

Thank you.

God, I hated Malcolm in the Middle. Not once did I ever laugh at anything said or done on it, and could never understand why people enjoyed crappy writting so much. Should have been cancelled years ago.

/'bout time for '70s
//Never watched AD

I would say that this stongly bolsters the case that there is no God. Three of the handful of shows I will actually watch when I have NOTHING better to do canxed in one fell swoop.

Oh yeah, at least those two shows with the hot mom with the annoying voice, underachieving son, fat alcoholic father, and drama queen daughter are still on.

\Simpsons stopped being funny a long time ago
\\Family Guy was never funny in the first place
\\\The slashies demand the return of Futurama

arrested development was an awesome show that never really got the accolades it deserved. it was a quirky, yet very entertaining show. as for That 70's Show and malcolm...those shows were great for a while but have really...as some have already said...run their course. the jokes have become stale and when topher grace left...it totally changed the dynamics of the show. for the worse. i loved that 70's show and malcolm but it really IS time for them to go.

the simpsons' time will be coming soon.

Its all a part of FOX's plan to alienate their public by eliminating their best shows.

...Well, except for that "Malcolm" thing... and I only watched "that 70's show" cuz I like Laura Prepon. Rawr.

So...How much longer before Dewey from "Malcolm" get's arrested on drug charges?

Or do you think he'll snap one day and rob a video store?

shrapnill77...family guy not funny? how so?

blasphemy.

I've seen one episode of Arrested Development and thought it was funny.
Malcolm was great, before the kids started to bald.
That 70's show wasn't my cup of tea, but it did outlast that 80's show, which I am greatful.

You don't...get comedy, do you?

Anyway, someone just has to pick up AD. The fact that AD gets canceled while American Idol is on its 29th season (or whatever) just sickens me...makes me lose all faith in humanity.

Cool, they're making room for all the new Futurama episodes.

/Hey,it could happen...

Agree that it's hard to look at these shows as "cancelled". Particularly Malcom and That 70's Show. They were kid/teen centered shows that ran long enough for the kids to grow up past the storyline.

AD might still have had a little life left but the other 2 were definitely played out.

"It's like "Seinfeld""

Nuff said.

/well maybe not as funny as Seinfeld but still pretty good.

AD will be back.

Guys, David Cross is awesome as the clueless, closeted "Tobias" on Arrested Development.

/This sucks.
//Knew it was coming.
///ghey innuendo, eh?
