The critically acclaimed but low-rated Arrested Development still hangs by a thin thread to next season's Fox schedule, the network's entertainment president Peter Liguori, told TV writers at their annual winter tour in Pasadena Tuesday. "I have to be frank with you," he remarked to the writers. "It is highly unlikely it is coming back." He said that the network will make a final decision after it assesses comedy shows currently in development and whether Arrested's ratings improve during the coming weeks. One writer, Bill Goodykoontz of the Arizona Republic, noted that the network is putting the last two episodes up against the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics on Feb. 10. "So you can guess how it'll do," Meanwhile, Liguori indicated that it will definitely be the end of the line for the long-running sitcoms That '70s Show after eight seasons and Malcolm in the Middle after seven.
