They Fuck You Up, Your Mum and Dad: The casts of The Celebration and Arrested Development.

Daily Variety is reporting that Mitch Hurwitz, creator of FOX's beloved—but chronically ratings bereft—sitcom Arrested Development, will not oversee the Bluth family's move to Showtime's gated premium cable community.

Fans of the series will no doubt be saddened by this news, but Bluth lovers should celebrate. Specifically, they should have a Celebration—Thomas Vinterberg's Dogme # 1: The Celebration.
