Will Arnett (Gob) was on Kevin and Bean this morning. He says that the line that the network has been feeding the crew is that the reason they cut 4 episodes is because they don't want to make the show go up against Desparate Housewives in May sweeps. For sweeps, Fox wants to use the coveted post-Simpsons slot to premier American Dad, which would push AD to 9 or 9:30. So Fox told the AD people that they WANT to renew them, but that a poor performance in sweeps would actually hurt their chances, so they'd rather not risk it.

Of course, as Will said many times, who knows if that's the truth or not. But he said that when they were told, it seemed to make sense and there was some logic to it, so it could be true. Let's hope that's the case. He also said that he signed the online petition himself and said something in the comments like, "I really like working on this show, please don't cancel it." lol.
