Bluths Are Back

August 01, 2006

20060801_arresteddevelopmen.jpgIn a novel move, the syndication rights to the dearly-beloved, but under-watched "Arrested Development" were sold simultaneously to several venues. Cable channels HDnew and G4 as well as MSN.com all are green-lighted to show any of the 53 episodes produced until 2009. This move shows there are some intelligent people in the TV business (even if they're stuck in licensing). Normal rules of syndication dictate at least 100 episodes should have originally aired and the rights are sold to one outlet. Neither of which happened in this case.
