Fear not, Arrested Development fans. The quirky sitcom about a hilariously dysfunctional family may have been unceremoniously dumped by the Fox network, but it looks like Showtime is coming to its rescue.

The New York Post's Page Six reported Tuesday the cable network has not only picked up the cancelled show, it has ordered 26 more episodes. The news supports recent Internet rumblings about producers hammering out a deal with Showtime execs.

The two-hour finale of the critically-acclaimed series nabbed only 3.3 million viewers when it aired on Feb. 10 on Fox.

SHOWTIME FOR THE BLUTHS?: Hmm, maybe the fat lady should shut her mouth and take a seat. The New York Post hears brand-new buzz that Showtime has not only picked up Fox's canceled Arrested Development but has ordered a full 26 episodes.

I know, I know....I'll believe it when I see it too, but it's nice to hear that it very well might be coming back.

Booray, you just made my day. :)

I'll keep an eye out for confirmed details.

If this turns out to be accurate, I'll be very happy. I didn't get into the show until far too late to complain about Fox cancelling it, but I know for sure that I want to see more of it. I also have to pick up the DVDs next time I'm out shopping.

I'll subscribe to Showtime, if this is true.

I honestly almost cried watcging the last part of the last FOX episode, I was truly upset at this great show going away too soon.

I will almost certainly be subscribing to Showtime in the near future... YAY!!!!!
