Futurama was one of the single funniest shows ever and I still can't believe it got canceled. It was always so much funnier than The Simpsons, which stopped being funny well over ten years ago.Comment

Has that for sure been cancelled? We were getting into it.My biggest disappointment was another one of Summer Glau's projects. Yes, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles broke my heart when it was canceled. Now I'll never know if Cameron was JC's lover, how the timeline was or wasn't affected, and a bunch of other "unresolved" issues. Grrrrr!
Other than that, The Sopranos sticks in my mind ... I would have watched that 20+ seasons if it had continued, LOL.Comment

Journeyman
Rome
Firefly - that was great.
From way back - U.F.O. - was really good drama if you got into it.Comment

April 10th, 2009, apparently. They didn't want to announce it in the middle of the end-run. Sources at WB said the multi-million-dollar lot has been torn down. The show went from 18 million viewers to 2 million. TIVO/DVR viewers don't count, and since Fox put them in the Friday timeslot, almost everyone DVR's it ... so they got screwed.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
Brian Austin Green is obviously done with the show after what happened last episode, and Summer Glau (Cameron) as well as a few others have new projects. Charlie is done, obviously, as well. Word on the street is that Cameron gets written out in the season finale taking down SkyNet. I wonder if it's a showdown between her and John Henry?
Unfinished plotlines I actually care about:
1) Origins of Cameron. How did they capture her, what's her role with John in the future? Is she like his robo-fuck-buddy or something? Or did he send her away for another reason?
2) What the fuck is up with that thing on the sub? How does it tie in? "Tell John Connor that we say no?" Wow.
3) What in the hell is John Henry? Is the a kindler-gentler Terminator that will blend more easily with the humans? Maybe one without an Austrian accent?
4) What's the story with Manson's character? She's creepy ... is she a "good" or "bad" character? They seem to go out of their way to make her seem "bad," and that sometimes means it's more of a shade of grey, right?
5) So does SC die of cancer or not? By Terminator 3, she's dead .. are we retconning that timeline, or did jumping 2 years somehow avoid the event that gave it to her?
6) Did they tie up ANY loose ends in Salvation? Since they probably didn't know the TV show was going away when they made it, they might not have.
END SPOILER ALERT
The guys on the show apparently decided NOT to do a "series finale" even though they're not supposed to be coming back for season 3 ... so it'll be a "season finale" and we'll have to just imagine what might have happened. I *hate* when that shit happens.Comment

that sucks, i knew that a lot of the cgi stuff, future lots were used in the movie. so they saved money that way.April 10th, 2009, apparently.

Believe me, I hope it isn't going away, but there seems to be a LOT of talk about it. Here's one example, although you should obviously take it with a grain of salt:that sucks, i knew that a lot of the cgi stuff, future lots were used in the movie. so they saved money that way.

If it comes back for another season, I will be extremely happy. It's one of the only shows I actually indulge in, with Sopranos now gone. In fact, I can't think of another show besides Terminator and Hells Kitchen that I watch.Comment

how they ended this season, they could run the entire next season from the future lots. So tearing down the current lots might actually not be a bad signBelieve me, I hope it isn't going away, but there seems to be a LOT of talk about it.

Sarah. Jericho is worth watching, even though it does end without an ending.
Although the ending is more like a second season ending than a series ending, which would leave it open to return.
It WAS one of the good ones, although a little more creativity was called for, other than the 'kill off of characters, rather than find another way to remove them.
Watch it.

I can't believe so many enjoyed Deadwood
As 24 is to the every season:
President is betrayed
Jack has to prove his loyalty over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
No one trusts none of their co-workers and use that "soap opera" staredown... Deadwood is to cussing
Cocksucker this, motherfucker that, cocksucking motherfucker, son-of-a-bitch cocksucking motherfucker
That's the whole show!Comment

I REALLY hope they don't cancel Fringe... lots of ppl hate it it seems
It might not be the greatest show ever, but right now it's the only thing that's filling the 'X-Files' type void

at the time you wrote it that show was still on. I did not hear it was canceled, but it was one of my favorites and I would definitely miss it. Especially when season finale was so greatComment

I was thinking the same exact thing when I saw the end of the finale. If they do cancel it, I am going to be so pissed. I need to know WTF is up! LOL!
Yes, I agree totally. With only 2 Million viewers, hopefully they DO bring it back. The "justification" they used for releasing the "news" about the cancellation while it was still running was that Fox didn't want to kill the viewership for the final few episodes. Again, grain of salt here, but I'd be extremely disappointed if it's true.Comment

Enterprise was fucking terrible and unwatchable. Pretty much killed the Star Trek franchise IMHO. Hopefullly the new movie will fix it.
Terminator was a big pile of steamy shit and am not surprised its gone. So bad it hurt.
Stuff that was actually good:
Rome
Firefly
Farscape
I think they had a goodly amount of viewers but I believe all 3 were canned because they were too expensive to produce.TEEN CASH - EXCLUSIVE TEEN NICHE REALITY SITES

they are making a comic book out of it
like josh did with angel and buffy
and it may come back as either a motion comic (ala watchmen)
or an animated series
i like it enough that i would watch it if that happened.Comment

firefly was not that expensive, it just did not have an audience, partly because it got bounced around so much.
Farscape that one was really expensive to make, and it audience level did not justify that expense. The magic number now is 4 commercial spots. If your show cost more than 4 commercial spots it gets cancelled, if it cost less it does not. Shows like knight rider stay on the air because most of their budget is covered by the product placement deal so they hit that magic number even with their crappy ratings.
Shows with no product placement/limited product placement get killed by that number.Comment

I don't usually generalize, but if Arrested Development isn't one of your favorite shows than you're an ASSHOLE.
Same goes for anyone who likes "friends".
Dog Bites Man was cancelled WAY too early... great show by the Ali G producers, half scripted half making fun of real people. The show was pretty obscure so they could have kept going for a few more seasons.

check out eleventh hour
it sort of the profiler/manhunter thing all over again
eleventh hour is a more realistic version of fringe so it appeals to a larger audience.Comment

Joey and Carnivale - both ended at a weird time with no closure offered and kind of a guilty pleasure.All the best to you
Comment

well if they keep using the movies sets for their productions (free location) they could save a lot of money on production. That increases the possiblity they will hit the magic 4 commercial spot number to stay on the air.Comment

sarah conner is insanely popular on the torrents
it ranks up 4th-7th most torrent tv show each week
http://showinsider.com/Details/Telev...Chronicles.htm
seed density is so high that you can get the episode in 15 minutes.
there are like 5.6 million viewers of the show from the torrent alone.
I bet you if this show did a dr who confidential type sister show it would easily get another 5-7 million viewers too. Doubling it ad revenue if they could monetize bittorrent traffic.
Such a waste.Comment
