Daddy Likes Leather

In what may be the second best news of the week, FOX has picked up a show called Sit Down, Shut Up for its 2008-2009 schedule.

The show, which is an animated remake of a short-lived Australian live-action sitcom, is written by none other than Mitch Hurwitz, the creator of the immortal Arrested Development (and the inspiration for this blog's title).

As if that weren't enough, the show will feature the vocal talents of AD veterans Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Henry Winkler, and counts among its executive producers Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein from The Simpsons.

Sounds awesome.

Edited to add: Forgot to mention -- IMDB officially lists the Arrested Development movie as being IN PRODUCTION. Holy crap.
