Booya! 'Arrested Development' and '24' make the cut
 

Finally it looks like FOX has figured out how to run a television network. After years of cancelling all their best shows they are getting it together.

Very happy to hear that my two favourite shows are going to be around for at least anotgher season (or 2 in the case of 24).

This is great fucking news! I wonder what plots they'll have for the upcoming seasons of 24....

I'm a 24 addict. wonder where they can go with their plots? or does that matter?

never seen Arrested Development... I think it's on during an incovenient time. I should try to tape it.

oh ya, what does "booya" mean? i heard Paris Hilton trying to get some guy to say that on her show once...

Paris Hilton said it? Crap, I'm so embarassed now...

:lol: :lol: :lol:


SORRY!!!!

ya, she was trying to get a guy who was supposed to ask his wife out on a date with flowers to say it. he was around 50 yrs old, and had no idea what it meant. (me neither still)

From The Urban Dictionary:

1. booya
it's like, SHIT MAN! that's totally sweet!
person 1: i just baked a whole batch of cookies.
person 2: booya!!!

booya (from wikipedia, via answers.com):
I think it is also a meaningless exclamation used by one of the commentators on ESPN.

Thank god Arrested Development made the cut. It is the best comedy on tv right now.

Was there any doubt about 24 coming back though? I really didn't think it was in trouble at all.

I sure hope not. I guess there's always the chance of a show going to another network or something, but when the hell does that happen?

If I could ask of one thing from 24, it would be a change of scenery. Wouldn't it be awesome if a season of 24 took place in another country? There's been a lot of reference of stuff Jack's done overseas, so I'm sure they could come up with something that would work.

Ya, I think they should send Jack overseas as well. Can't really think of a suitable story line, but I'll leave that up to the writers who do such a good job ;).

It would also be cool if Jack was put on the secret service and had to protect the president or something.

It would be difficult. The "real time" format of the show means a single metro area has to be the focus of most of the show, and with the show being shot in Los Angeles, it makes sense from a production point of view to set the show there.

I think the big news on 24 is the two season commitment, which is very unusual.

may mean a cliff hanger at the end of the next season? i know with the ratings they've pulled this year and adding that to four successful seasons they'll be getting more money for production.

(try not to take this as partisan, im apolitical as far as declaring a condoned side, and take my issues to grapple with one at a time with no party line)
maybe now that they're locked into a 2 season contract they can stop pandering to red states with all this (at least in my opinion) obvious political drivel trying to give creedence to torture and other unnecessary plot devices.
not flaming, i love the show, and maybe if there were consequences to jacks actions, and maybe if anyone who called into question the practice of tortue wasn't stifled with the utterly logical and complete arguement of "but he ended up being right, so there", and maybe if it didn't happen every other god damned episode, i wouldn't care so much. but it's a pet peeve that seems to be particular to this season, hopefully not so much with the following.
and cheers to kiefer for at least trying to dispell any potential for encouraging xenophobia, though there are those, my parents for example, who see any example of terrorists being arabic, or islamic for that matter, as a justification of their hate of islam and the arabic peoples.

here's to hoping we get some nicely framed espionage stuff in the following seasons, rumours are the next setting being NYC.

i want 24 to be the longest running television series in history. i think its a better show than any other show like friends or seinfeld. i dont care where they go. i just want originally cast of 24 plus palmer as pres, kim, and chase minus edgar and the current president (i forgot his name, lol).

I wasn't all that shocked to hear 24 made the cut, but I am pleasantly surprised 'Arrested' was renewed.

It's one of my new favorite shows. Now they just need to find a decent time slot to put it in.

I just noticed this so sorry if it has been said else where. Did you guys know the narrator for Arrested Development is Ron Howard? Cool, IMO.

Cheers!

I think AD's probably one of the best comedies on TV. I hope they don't end next season early like this did this one.

"And that’s when Maeby realized she had become a successful film executive." :lol:

Here's an joke you wouldn't have gotten unless you knew it was Ron Howard. I thought it was great.

Jessie (to George Michael) "....you just spoiled your father’s last chance at being happy. So I hope *you’re* happy, Opie."
Narrator "Jessie had gone too far- and had best watch her mouth"

Wow. I totally missed that one. Going to find that eppy and watch it again. Thanks Jeff!!

thank goodness
