I was going to write something about Arrested Development, but this article at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette pretty much covers what I would have said.

If you don’t read the article, know that FX is showing a mini-marathon of the show starting at 2 PM Sunday, and a new episode airs at its regular time of 9:30 PM on Fox (also on Sunday).

In my opinion, AD is the funniest show currently on TV (even better than the recently concluded fourth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which I found a bit disappointing).

It’s quite possible that the show won’t return next season, so you should check it out while you can.

Update [Apr.21]: Fox just ordered new seasons of several of their shows (including 24), but there’s still no word on Arrested Development.

Update [Apr.23]: Sunday’s episode, “Not Without My Daughter”, will be the last episode of the season. The intended season finale, “Let ‘Em Eat Cake”, has been pushed back indefinitely. If there is a second season, it’ll presumably air then.

Update [May.18]: Fox won’t officially announce their fall schedule until Thursday, but Daily Variety has early word that Arrested Development has been renewed. Great news. And I haven’t been able to confirm it yet, but the proper season finale of AD might air June 6th.

Update [May.27]: Last post about this. “Let ‘Em Eat Cake” does air June 6th, but at 8:30PM. Then, at 9:30, the pilot is on. And I presume that they’ll rerun every episode until new episodes are ready. So if you’ve never seen the show before, you have another chance.
