Rumor - Arrested Development goes to Showtime
Interesting. I'd have to pay for Showtime to get it, but it's worth the expense for a show that brings such hilarity into my house.

2. My only concern if it goes to a pay channel
(and btw, I was hoping it was HBO) would the quirkiness of the show and the way they bleep stuffed out that couldn't past the muster in regular TV. To be honest, I'd love to see the show maintain that since it was a part of how Arrested Development was filmed.

I think this is a smart move by Showtime (or hopefully HBO) because this show should get more recogniztion (why the Golden Globes overlooked it is probably because Fox did shit to promote it) and even more subscribers (hell I would subscribe).

4. I have yet to see it,
but I've heard good things about it, in the media, anyway. Is it really worth watching?

20. Actually, Lucille asked -
Do you seriously think I can get some strange man to spend all the night in my dusty old craptrap?

I missed it the first time, to be honest, but when i watched it again on tap I spit coffee all over the livingroom.

29. A word about Lucille 2...
Liza Minelli is FUCKING AWESOME. She can even manage the physical comedy. Watching her stumble around with Vertigo is always hilarious.
