Ongoing Development
If you were walking near my apartment and heard a sigh of relief, that would be because "Arrested Development" was renewed. I didn't have such high hopes, since, in my experience, shows I love don't last very long; or if they do last more than one season, they get jerked around by the network; or it may be that the reason they lasted so long was because I didn't start watching until the fifth season was in production, but after that, things went all to hell.

I strongly considered "And that's why you don't try to teach people lessons" or whatever the actual line is for my Williams Trivia team name.

I can't really imagine it ever attracting that big an audience, but hopefully it can last another season at least.
