Everyone is talking about how Fox cancelled Arrested Development (again-- but this time for good.) The Mercury News article about the cancellation also includes some news that will break the heart of many a NYC-foodie:
Also whacked: ``Kitchen Confidential'' -- one of the season's better new comedies -- which followed ``Arrested Development'' on Monday nights. It has also been pulled from November schedule (the two sitcoms will be replaced by repeats of ``Prison Break'') and its final installments will also show up in December. ``Kitchen Confidential'' only got to air three episodes but its audience was even smaller than the one for ``Arrested Development.''
Conventional wisdom says the failure rate for restaurants in the first year is 95%--the real number is closer to 26%-- but in any case, this cancellation didn't strike us as a huge suprise. The real loser here, of course, is our pal Anthony Bourdain-- he's probably going to miss those hefty Fox consulting fees. Oh well, we suppose he'll be all right-- if his book-writing and television careers stall out, he can always go back to actually being a chef.

What a bummer and a bummer. Kitchen Confidential really did show promise, and Arressted Development was just really getting back into the groove, especially after the amazing double-episode of AD on monday. Why wouldn't you people watch?
This makes me very sad.
"Kitchen Confidential" was about a billion times better than "The War At Home", which is your typical Fox schlock garbage sitcom. As for "Arrested Development" it was too good for Fox, and hopefully a real network will pick it up. Funny thing was "Arrested Development" and "Kitchen Confidential" were the only two things I watched on Fox.
Goes to show that the old adage "The masses are asses" is very true.
