The Last ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT''

I am – Hercules!!

“Arrested Development” gets no respect.

* By giving “Desperate Housewives” its Golden Globe for best TV comedy this year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association effectively declared the bland, insipid “Housewives” funnier than “Arrested.”

* Fox cut back its second-season “Arrested Development” order to make room for great new shows like “American Dad,” so the Bluths' second season ends tonight, well before both May sweeps and the end of the season proper.

* When E! Online ran its “save our show” poll last month, UPN’s “Veronica Mars” got 56 percent of the vote. “Arrested Development” got 9 percent. “Veronica” subsequently got an early renewal, even though “Arrested,” with “The Simpsons” as its lead-in, enjoys a bigger audience.

The networks don’t announce their fall slates for another month, but USA Today on Wednesday indicated that “Arrested” is in the meantime “on the bubble,” neither renewed nor axed.

My advice to “Arrested Development” fans? Click here to vote in USA Today’s “Save Our Show” poll. If memory serves, “Angel” won this poll two years ago and got a fifth season. “Enterprise” won last year and got a fourth season.

“Veronica Mars” isn’t a candidate this year because it’s already been saved, so maybe “Arrested” now stands a chance! What are you waiting for? Tick tock. TICK TOCK!!!

8:30 p.m. Sunday. Fox.
