Arrested Development closer to Showtime

Some blog is reporting that a "lead castmember" confirmed to them that Showtime has picked up Arrested Development for 12 episodes. The blogger won't give the actor's name, and there is nothing else to substantiate the news.

However, E! Online's Kristin has already researched the situations and has this to say:

Hey all --I, too, have seen the report on betterthanfudge.com that Arrested has been picked up for 12 episodes.
My source (*Very reliable*) says:

"No deal yet. It's closer, but not done. The chances are now 50/50."

Yee!!!So good news -- it looks like Arrested could be saved!

Go Bluths!

Good news? Maybe!

I think it all hinges on what Showtime wants to do with the show. I don't anything will happen with it if any cast member are cut or there are significant changes to the show. This is just my own opinion, about the future of the show.
