Fox has apparently cut the episode order for Arrested Development.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Fox Broadcasting Co. plans to shuffle its Sunday comedy lineup in May to make room for the addition of new cartoon "American Dad" on May 1.

As part of the schedule change, the network has opted to reduce the episode order on the Emmy-winning ratings laggard "Arrested Development," but the specifics still are being worked out.

As of May 1, "American Dad" will slide into "Arrested's" 8:30 p.m. slot behind "The Simpsons." For the first three weeks of the month, "Dad" will be followed at 9 p.m. by another original "Simpsons" episode.

This really sucks. Looks like we're only getting 18 episodes this season instead of 22. I hope American Dad does horrible in the ratings. I won't be watching that crap.

Oh boy, what a treat.

Not only are they cutting down the number of episodes but they're shoving another show in its place.

I JUST started to get into this show. I never watched it the first season.

It's sad, because all American really care about watching is stupid reality TV shows. How about we make a petition to get reality shows off the air?!?! But seriously, this show needs to stay.

Are you the same person who decided that FOX should cancel Keen Eddie?

I will glady sign that petition because I'm sick to death of every network possible being saturated with that crap. With the exception of The Surreal Life, but you didn't hear that from me.

No seriously, I wish that bologna would wear out its welcome already.
