FOX will air show's last 4 episodes

- Fans of Arrested Development will, in fact, get to see the show's final four episodes this season. Given where Fox has scheduled them, though, it seems rather certain that not many others will.

The network has decided to air the season's final four episodes in one two-hour block Feb. 10. That night also happens to feature the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on NBC, an event that is likely to dominate the ratings that night.

- The Doctor is coming to Sci Fi

Sci Fi has announced that the latest installment of the BBC's Doctor Who will be coming to the network in March. The deal between Sci Fi and BBC Worldwide Americas gives Sci Fi the first-run rights for series one with an option for series two.

This 13-part, 60-minute series premiered on BBC One in March of 2005 to rave reviews and massive ratings.

Doctor Who will air Friday nights at 9 on Sci Fi.
