As some of you know, I'm a giant Arrested Development fan. As some of those people know, I've been fanatically hoping that FOX would reverse their plan to not renew A.D., effectively canceling it like Jack & Bobby (bet you haven't heard that one was cancelled, huh?). Kinda reminds me of Family Guy's first episode this season:
Peter: "Everybody I've got bad news. We've been cancelled."
Lois: "Oh no Peter! How could they do that?"
Peter: "Well unfortunately Lois, there's just no more room on the schedule. We just gotta accept the fact that FOX has to make room for terrific shows like Dark Angel, Titus, Undeclared, Action, That 80's Show, Wonder Falls, Fast Lane, Andy Richter Controls The Universe, Skin, Girl's Club, Cracking Up, The Pitts, Firefly, Get Real, Freaky Links, Wanda At Large, Costello, The Lone Gunman, A Minute with Stan Hooper, Normal Ohio, Pasadena, Harsh Realm, Keen Eddy, The Street, American Embassy, Cedric The Entertainer, The Tick, Louie, And Greg The Bunny...."
Lois: "Is there no hope?"
Peter: "Well I suppose if ALL those shows go down the tubes we might have a shot."
Well folks, I speak to you reinvigorated: Arrested Development is coming back!!! There is a heartbeat. There is no flatline. And there may be twins. Just look:

Holy crap, I'm so full of joy right now.
That's right-- FOX is not only signing the contracts to have A.D. come back for another full 22-episode season, but they're doing it twice-- TWO seasons, 44 episodes, new time slot, and guaranteeing syndication and a few more DVD boxed sets. I'm bursting, Jerry! I'm bursting!
I'm gonna fall asleep with a smile on my face tonight. An A.D. party at my place is a possibility. So is doing G.O.B.'s chicken dance for hours on end. Stay tuned...
