For those of you Kitchen Confidential fans that had resigned yourselves to the fact that, even though the show was cancelled, at least there were nine new episodes left to see, I have some bad news. FOX has announced that the remaining episodes will be shelved, with reruns of Arrested Development airing in its place until Skating With Celebrities takes over the timeslot on January 23.It really seems like FOX didn't give this show any chance of survival. Only four episodes aired, spread far apart by interruptions by the baseball playoffs and November sweeps. The one episode I've seen, which was the one that aired this past Monday, was pretty funny and showed a lot of potential. But if FOX thinks a low-rated show like AD is a bigger draw than your favorite show, chances are that your show will never see the light of day again.

What kind of would is it that we live in where Stacked and War at Home remain on FOX but Arrested Development goes away?
C'mon!

I was dissappointed, but not surpised that this show was cancelled. I really liked this show and it was not given a chance! I have to say that I am a Buffy fan and the bg draw of the show was Nicholas Brendon because I think he really entertaining. Also, Darren Star from the Sex and the City, this show could be great. If this show were on one the three major networks it would have been picked up.
As many of us know from the past FOX, make poor choices when it comes to backing their shows. I guess those of us who really liked the show wil have to wait until the DVD is released. I have to say, the only few commercials that I saw for this show were way at the beginging of the year. It did not get nearly as much paly as Prison Break.
Fox try giving your shows a chance and maybe you would actually get some loyal viewership!
