It's popular, and people like it... let's cancel it!

Looks like the beginning of the end for Arrested Development, the only reason to even bother owning a television these days. It looks like it's falling victim to the TV networks' usual logic: stumble across a show that's actually excellent, then under-promote it, put it in a time slot so as to get it pre-empted by every conceivable sports event from baseball to curling, continually cut episodes from the season; then just give up.

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.
