According to Variety the best show no one (and I do mean NO ONE) watches may have a second life if Fox will get off its ass and just cancel the damn thing:
Fox still hasn’t officially canceled "Arrested Development," but if it does, other networks are interested in the show.
Both ABC and Showtime have had conversations with 20th Century Fox TV and indicated they’re open to making a deal for new episodes of the critically beloved, Emmy-winning comedy from creator Mitch Hurwitz. No formal negotiations have taken place, and there are still numerous hurdles that might prevent such a move — including the show’s hefty pricetag.
That said, those familiar with the talks described them as serious, with Showtime said to be in particularly hot pursuit of the ratings-challenged laffer, now on life support at Fox. Skein’s third-season order was recently cut to 13 episodes.
This is definitely one of those shows that deserves better. I may understand why its not a huge hit (a lot of stupid people out there) but I don’t understand why it doesn’t get a better audience than it does. if you get the chance, check out the new episodes Fox is burning off Monday nights at 8PM.

Want a neat little picture by your comments? Get one here.I know, I saw that too and was really excited. I actually could have sworn I did a post about it, I guess I forgot to publish. I wish ABC would pick it up and give it a good time slot.
I still think NBC should pick it up and put it on it’s Thursday night time slot.

They would get much more freedom with showtime, but for it to be a “popular” classic show its going to have to remain on the big 3 (4) networks to reach a non-cable oriented audience. With Showtime the cursing will be allowed, and the comical bleeping might taken away from the idea behing the joke.

yeah, i’m not sure how well the show would work on cable. part of the fun of it now is seeing how much they can get away with on a broadcast network.
by the way, Bow Loblaw is the best character name of the year and the best work Scott Baio has ever done, period.
