Just watched the entire 2nd season, and it is just as good if not better than the 2nd, I cant believe how much I laughed but it reminded how sad it is that it may be cancelled.
It's almost as if there is too much in the show ( if thats possible), because if you are laughing at one thing you miss another 5 jokes and a set up.
Probably have to wait about 6 months or more for the 3rd season to be released on DVD in the UK.
PS, The chicken dancing and GOB in the banana suit are genius. 💃

Arrested Development may have been picked up for 12 episodes by Showtime.
Has anyone heard about this? is this true?, if its false I am going to crash the site that posted it.

Nothing concrete yet, only gossip on messageboards.
Also the Dad said something about the mother having to take another "Bullet" for the Bluth Team. And the mum and dad both hate GOB.
Is this confirmed in the 3rd season because i have not see this yet, can anyone confirm if I am correct?
And I think Kitty might be Maybe's mum buts thats just a shot in the dark.

THIS WAS PUBLISHED ON 20/03/06
Even though FOX still has not canceled the show officially, network executives have made it clear that it will not be renewed for a fourth season.
Despite months-long rumors of Arrested Development having been picked up by the Showtime Network, and star Jason Bateman's confirmation that two new seasons of the series had been ordered, the San Francisco Chronicle reported on March 28, 2006 that creator Mitch Hurwitz will not be returning.[3] As Showtime had made it clear that Hurwitz's involvement was a requirement for the continuation of the show, Arrested Development is considered by both its creators and fans as having reached its end on television. Hurwitz has, however, previously alluded to the possibility of a feature film.
BALLS!!!!!!!!!

Hurwitz takes a hike
'Arrested' creator bails as showrunner
"Arrested Development""Arrested Development" creator Mitch Hurwitz says he will not be continuing with the series, throwing a major -- likely fatal -- monkey wrench into attempts to keep the Emmy-winning laffer alive for a fourth season.
Series producers 20th Century Fox TV and Imagine TelevisionImagine Television had agreed on a deal to move "Arrested," previously on Fox, to Showtime -- assuming Hurwitz was willing to come back. In the end, however, a mix of creative and financial concerns has prompted Hurwitz to move on.
"The fans have been so ardent in their devotion and in return ... I've given everything I can to the show in order to try to live up to their expectations," Hurwitz told Daily Variety on Monday in a telephone interview from GothamGotham. "I finally reached a point where I felt I couldn't continue to deliver that on a weekly basis."
Nonetheless, Hurwitz said he put off making a final decision on his involvement so Showtime and 20th could talk about a possible deal.
"Of course, if there was enough money in it, I would have happily abandoned the fans' need for quality. But as it turns out, there wasn't," he said.
Indeed, Hurwitz and 20th have long been at odds over finances, sparring over everything from the show's budget to Hurwitz's own compensation. The two sides were unable to come to terms on an overall deal last year, and while creative concerns were clearly at play in Hurwitz's decision, coincoin may have been a key factor, insiders said.
Hurwitz said he had briefed most of the show's cast about his decision, as well as some of the writers. He also talked with exec producer-narrator Ron HowardRon Howard, who asked Hurwitz if he would be willing to continue as a consultant on "Arrested" should 20th and Imagine find a network willing to continue the skeinskein without Hurwitz.
"I said I'd be happy to do that, but that as showrunner, I've gone as far as I can go," he said.
Showtime entertainment toppertopper Bob Greenblatt made it clear in January that Hurwitz's participation in the show was essential to a deal (Daily Variety, Jan. 20). With Hurwitz out of the equation, Showtime is no longer a viable home for "Arrested," insiders said.
It doesn't help that one of Hurwitz's key deputies, exec producer Jim Valleley, also says he won't do the show without his boss. "We couldn't do the show without Mitch Hurwitz, and I wouldn't want to be the guy who tried," Valleley said, who called the apparent end of the show "heartbreaking."
Hurwitz said he had lunch with Showtime entertainment chief Bob Greenblatt even though he was leaning against continuing with the show. "He was actually very persuasive in telling me how much he believed in the show. I walked away thinking, 'Maybe,' " Hurwitz said.
Despite word of tension between Hurwitz and 20th, scribe said the studio and its sister net deserve credit for having produced and aired three seasons of the show.
"I can honestly say I'm appreciative. They put a lot of money into this, and I put a lot of my life into this," he said.
He also hinted that while "Arrested" may have run its course as a TV show as far as he's concerned, he would be interested in reviving the franchise as a feature film.
Reps for 20th and Showtime declined comment. One person familiar with the studio's thinking, however, said fans of the show shouldn't write an obit for "Arrested" just yet, noting 20th is the studio that revived "Family Guy."
