I just re-watched the entire run over the last week or so and it still slays me every time. As much as I'd love some new stuff, movie or new seasons, I always fear bringing shows back but I`m still eager to see what they come up with. Good or bad, it won`t diminish my love for the first run. I just wish they would finally decide on what they are doing, though this may be that decision, instead of holding it over our heads, taunting us with the promise of new content.

No studio has pledged a dime to create more Arrested Development.

From today. Says that there are not specific studio names, but they seem to be heavily implying that they have support.

Illusions, Covar.

Never watched. Didn't seem very popular in it's time, then again neither did alot of my favorite shows. So kudos to those enjoying this return.

A litt bit more speculation on the studio.

While the show's producing studio, 20th Century Fox TV, declined to comment on Hurwitz's statements, Vulture has confirmed that the company is onboard with the idea and that conversations have taken place with Netflix about the show streaming on the service. In addition, Deadline reported Sunday that Showtime might also be interested in financing the resurrection. This makes sense: Showtime was in deep talks with 20th about keeping the show alive five years ago, but a deal never happened; since then, former Arrested producer David Nevins has taken over as head of Showtime. As far as we can tell, the Fox network is not presently a factor in these conversations, though because 20th and Fox are siblings, it's possible the network could yet become involved. However, since the new TV episodes are meant to serve as a prologue to the feature, Hurwitz may prefer the creative freedom that would come with a Netflix or Showtime deal; Fox may also not want to invest coin in a series with no long-term future.

It wasn't very popular in its time. Fox did what Fox does best and basically hid the show.
You really ought to check it out if you get the chance. Its a show that REQUIRES, absolutely, that you watch in order from the beginning, if you ever do.

Which is probably one of the main reasons it did not stay afloat.

I think it was that, and the fact that Fox moved it around in the schedule so much and didn't advertise it very well, so doing what was required to enjoy the show was so difficult. I'm glad it's gotten the audience it has now though.

My lady's cousin was in an episode of this show this past season, the sexy Palestinian woman. Going to dinner with her family this weekend and she'll be there, I'm excited to talk to her about her experiences on set.
