There was no official announcement -- there rarely is when the networks wield the ax -- but after two and half wonderfully funny seasons, Fox's Emmy-winning ``Arrested Development'' is dead.
Network TV's best comedy has been abruptly pulled from the Fox schedule for the rest of November sweeps and has had its `order'' for this season cut from 22 episodes to 13.
The episodes that have already been filmed will be burned off in December and, as of January, ``Arrested'' will vanish, the victim of low (really low) viewership...
So, the species known as "sitcom" is officially extinct now, right?
