Arrested Development Sue Fox


Hip-hop group Arrested Development are suing over the use of their name as the title of the new Fox TV series Arrested Development. The band have filed a trademark infringement suit against Fox, Imagine Films Entertainment Inc. and New World Communications Of Atlanta Inc. They allege that Fox's usage of the phrase will "dilute the meaning" of their name with fans. Frontman Todd Thomas says in a statement, "Fox has no more right to use 'Arrested Development' for its show than a band would have to name itself after one of Fox's sitcoms." The series airs this Sunday and stars Ally McBeal actress Portia De Rossi, Jeffrey Tambor and Jason Bateman.

Ummm...

So why hasn't the band sued the psychologists who use that phrase on a daily basis.

"Survivor" didn't have these problems...

Actually, it did.

Not when the show debuted, but when they released an album, Survior (Eye of the Tiger) sued them.

I have no clue how that wrapped up though.

I hope my band "Real World Road Rules Challenge" doesn't get sued when we release our album.

Interesting. I know these guys. And I liked 'em before I met'em. I've hung out with Kamal a few times in Atlanta. We have some mutual friends there and have wound up together at dinner and parties a few times.

Been a short day?

But seriously, who the hell do these guys think they are? If their name were Hootie and the Blowfish, I could buy that. But a band named after a pre-existing term? Fuck off, and deal with the fact that you are now irrelevant and no one cares.

The funny thing is - they have precedent. Another band that happened to be black also sued Fox for the same reason about 10 years ago. The band Living Color had the name of the show changed to "In Living Color." So I think they've got a shot.
