Is There Life In Arrested?

‘Ere, he says he's not dead.
Yes he is.
I'm not.

More evidence that Arrested Development hasn’t breathed its last breath. The New York Post’s Page Six said that U.S. network Showtime has not only picked up the (unofficially) canceled show but also ordered 26 more episodes. Meanwhile TV Squad has dug around a bit that they are just in negotiations – which is still better than being D.O.A.

So the question is, should it be allowed to enter the realm called Too Good For TV? It was a fantastic show and had three seasons of brilliance. Is it time to leave well enough alone?

Nah. Let’s have some more, stat! Sure there’s a worry that a show will survive beyond its time but there is no evidence that Arrested is anywhere near jumping the proverbial shark.
