Save Our Bluths

FOX Lets 'Arrested' Out One Last(?) Time Friday, January 13, 2006 10:48 AM PT Fans of "Arrested Development" will, in fact, get to see the show's final four episodes this season. Given where FOX has scheduled them, though, it seems rather certain that not many others will. FOX aired what felt like a finale on Jan. 2. The episode, titled "SOBs" -- short for Save Our Bluths, which is also the name of a fan web site trying to save the show -- stuck to "Arrested's" deeply self-referential guns by mocking both the conventions of ratings-grabbing stunts and its own insular nature ("Maybe we're not that likable," Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) tells his family at one point). But the network has decided to air the season's final four episodes in one two-hour block Friday, Feb. 10. That night also happens to feature the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on NBC, an event that is likely to dominate the ratings that night. The final four episodes of the season will feature guest appearances by Justine Bateman, Jason's sister, and Judge Reinhold, also seen in the "SOBs" episode (indicating that it may have aired out of sequence). Justine Bateman will play a woman who Michael believes may be his long-lost sister Nellie, while Reinhold plays himself, hired by the family's new lawyer to act as a judge in a mock trial to help the Bluths prepare for a real court case. The episodes will also feature Gob (Will Arnett) traveling to Iraq to perform a Christian magic act, which lands him in prison; Buster (Tony Hale) faking a coma to avoid testifying in the family's court case; and George Michael (Michael Cera) and Maeby (Alia Shawkat) taking part in a mock wedding to entertain hospital patients. The whole thing ends up at a yacht party, which is where the series started. The episodes could well be the last to air on FOX, which ordered only 13 shows this season. ABC and Showtime have reportedly expressed interest in picking up "Arrested Development," but for now the show's fate remains up in the air.

关于AD要被cut的新闻之前一直看到，而且看得很伤心。那么好的一个剧集，怎么就会收视率不够高，而且要被切掉？而且这一现状在ad的剧情中也有所影射。比如提到了ad观众们为了挽救这一聚集而创建的网站http://www.saveourbluths.com/。有兴趣的可以去看看，那个网站也很有ad的风格。

我是超喜欢ad的，不知道接下来会怎么发展。关注中......并为之祈祷。
