I'm with you, on the condition that AD isn't limited in what they can do by toning down the material.

Really though, anything to keep it alive, and if that means I have to ask to be able to order a package to see it, or get the DVDs, so be it.

ETA: I'd love to see NBC pick it up. Something like a Scrubs/Earl/AD/Office Thursday night would give NBC one of the best comedy lineups in recent history for any day.

Mr. B and I have already decided we'll get Showtime if they pick up the show. That was a no brainer decision.

We already have the DVDs. I had to make sure I've got something good to watch during the upcoming middle of the night feedings.

Just finished the second season set, I just wish FOX would repeat part of the third season...ever. Even if they put it on FX for repeats, I wouldn't care. Of course, FOX is wasting a huge resource with FX. They have the good original shows, but I'm willing to believe that they would get very good cable ratings if they had a set schedule of repeats for shows on FX. For instance, if they have the AI Show on Tuesdays at 9, they could show a repeat at Fridays on 9 for instance, for people who are simply looking for something to watch or missed it the first time. They could do that with 24 (although that's hit elsewhere), Prison Break, House, you name it. For the longer running shows (really, anything above 40 episodes), they could show older versions daily. I'd love to see the first season of AI...

Yes, yet another FOX rant. Thank you David Cross on the bloopers.

On the main topic, even if I didn't pick up Showtime (and for AD, I might) the show keeps going, so the DVDs come out.

The article's top says that two networks have made official offers to make a 4th season of AD.

Also, rumors I read on the biggest AD Fansite I've seen said that one of the grips and another confirmed employee have talked about the new season. Quoting the thread from the Balboa Observer-Picayune (the fansite)

"...anything can happen, but we're being told the 4th season will start up in July...actually prepping and relighting the sets will start in July...actual shooting will start in Aug. They struck all the sets except Lucille's penthouse...and the model home we took down all the backings accept the huge one outside the penthouse....it hangs on a track which is staying up....the electricians are taking down all the lights....we're leaving the whole pipe grid up that the lights hang on over every set....that would have been 2 more weeks of wrap to get all that down..."

I have only spoken with this gentleman through E-Mails & don't want to assume authenticity, but everything he has told me has been damn realistic and convincing. To possibly reinforce their authenticity, I have a message from back in 8/29 that states:

"...there are many departments working on a movie set....grip dept. being the most important....the "key" grip is the boss. We do lighting,camera movement, and misc. rigging....this show is quite easy compared to most for a few reasons...we have 2 HD cameras rolling all the time that are "handheld" meaning no dollies or cranes....
we spent 2 weeks lighting all the sets....this allows us to move from set to set and not have to monkey around with lighting them everytime. We mount the cameras in cars sometimes when we "go out"each episode is shot in 5 days....3 on stage,2 around town. Although I'm a key grip for 20 years, i'm not the key on this one..."

Arrested fans, cross your fingers and hope that this news is encouraging for a fourth season.
