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.


Excellent. Because I've heard that there's actually a few Showtime references written into a future episode that deals with the Bluths in a very similar pickle, prompting George Sr. to remark "It's showtime," except the punchline being that he really wants to put on a show....

Though I miss Charlize Theron already. The shot from "Monster" made me howl. At work.

Also I cannot reiterate how much Variety slang makes me want to stab something.

YAY!


I'm hoping for ABC since I won't pay for Showtime but better via DVD than not at all.

What she said. I'd probably resort to bothering friends/co-workers to tape it for me if it goes the Showtime route.
