Bad news for all you yupster, yindie, altera-yuppie "grups" -- spread along the F train from 14th street to 7th Avenue -- who can't understand why a great show like Arrested Development can't find a way to stay on the air. Here's news from Variety last night:
Hurwitz takes a hike
'Arrested' creator bails as showrunner
"Arrested Development" creator Mitch Hurwitz says he will not be continuing with the series, throwing a major -- likely fatal -- monkey wrench into attempts to keep the Emmy-winning laffer alive for a fourth season.
Series producers 20th Century Fox TV and Imagine Television had agreed on a deal to move "Arrested," previously on Fox, to Showtime -- assuming Hurwitz was willing to come back. In the end, however, a mix of creative and financial concerns has prompted Hurwitz to move on.
And the worst part is, it's not Murdoch's fault. It's Hurwitz's. Asshole.
