tough competish...



Arrested Development will wrap its third -- and likely last -- season on Fox next month with a two-hour swan song slated to air opposite the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics.

Variety says Fox has decided to package four episodes of "Arrested" and air them as a two-hour season finale from 8-10 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 10, replacing the network's usual lineup of Malcolm in the Middle, Bernie Mac and Trading Spouses.

Justine Bateman and Judge Reinhold have filmed guest shots for the finale, with the former playing Nellie Bluth, the long-lost sister of Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman).

Scheduling the broadcast opposite the first night of the Olympics sends another strong signal that the Fox has given up any hope of reviving the show. Late last year, Fox decided to reduce the "Arrested" third-season episode order to 13.

I love the Olympics, but Arrested wins this battle easily.

Looks like they're also getting rid of some of their crappier (but technically more popular) shows too. I think that some writer at CNN loves Buster like Deeky does, cause they get good coverage.
