    Arrested Development on the net, free to viewers.

    'Arrested Development' Returning -- On the Internet


    Fox's Arrested Development, which attracted critical raves and an avid cult following -- but low ratings -- will get a second life on the Internet. In an unusual deal, Fox has signed an exclusive deal with Microsoft's MSN web portal that will make all 53 episodes of the series available for free. MSN says it will create a "community" around the videos, which will be streamed and include commercials that cannot be skipped. (The deal does not include rights to sell downloads of the episodes.) The Fox "exclusive" appears to conflict somewhat with a separate AD deal with Comcast's G4 cable network, which encourages viewers to download its programming (games in particular) to portable video devices. In yet a third deal, Fox granted HD-Net high-definition rights to the quirky series.

    Too bad FOX didn't do this when the show was on the air.

    No I like Family Guy, Lost, Robot Chicken, The Simpsons, the real funny shows.

    And I think that AD is funnier than every single show you listed and I've watched every single show you listed (seen all the episodes of the first two and most of the Simpsons, along with some RC). Opinions.

    And Lost is not a comedy.

    I think American Dad is weak and Lost is an incoherent mess.

    Seriously, a Paul Lynd alien?

    I'm thrilled. I still haven't seen the end of season 3. Decided not to bother downloading just wait for the DVDs. I hope that movie tehy talked about making goes through. The shows are good enough that rewatching you discover a lot of stuff . For example the episode where they build a model home to act like they got one down. Michael says to Job (while Lucille is standing there):We've got to get rid of the Seaword(the boat Job bought) and Lucille a moment later stays: I'm still here... classic!
