    I certainly fucking hope so!

    I don't get showtime, but I could still download the episodes.

    It would have to be a major commitment on Showtime's part. I've read that an AD episode runs a budget of about $1.5M.

    But then again, DVD sales would undoubtedly recoup that.

    $1.5 M? That seems highly unlikely :lol:

    Yeah, seemed high to me, too.

    But hey, this is a news report from today! ABC is expressing interest too!

    LOL! Arrested Development on ABC. Can you say watered down much?

    I'm not a fan of the show, but I think Showtime would be better for AD. Sure, most people don't get the network, but at least they could be a little more uncensored then usual.

    That's true. Fox probably lets them get away with more things than other networks.

    But it's better than none at all.
