TV Week Reports Arrested Development Offers on the Table

TV Week

"A few weeks ago, news broke that Showtime and ABC were vying for the presumably canceled Fox comedy "Arrested Development." Turns out ABC offered producers Imagine Entertainment and 20th Century Fox Television a 13-episode commitment to the series, which a network spokesperson has now confirmed. Showtime, meanwhile, has offered a two-year commitment, which would likely translate to 26 episodes. Sources said producers are still mulling both offers. Meanwhile, the series continues to struggle on Fox, with its most recent episode drawing a mere 4.2 million viewers. Sources said an ABC deal, especially in the wake of the show's most recent performance, is unlikely. Last year Fox reduced the third-season order of "Arrested" from 22 to 13 episodes. Though the show has not been officially canceled, the reduction triggered a clause in the show's contract enabling producers to shop the series elsewhere."

People have been blogging about this but no one has been citing any sources and that really pisses me off especially when news like this is exciting. This is all according to Tvweek.com and I have no idea how legitimate they are. I hope what they say is true but until Fox really cancels it, which is going to happen soon because the president pretty much said so the other day, nothing can be picked up. What do you think Showtime? Would you pay for it? I don't think I would but I'd still find ways to watch it. ABC? Easily accessible and available to more people. I'd go ABC but who the hell am I to say anything.
