everything that isn't on HBO anymore

Fox announces it's fall schedule on May 18 and the new Terminator movie opens 3 days later. Will be interesting to see if they renew it or not. I hope they do, but Fox is so notorious for killing off the good shows.

Was that a remake of the British show by the same name then?

And keeping bad ones running for far too long.

Raven 04-13-2009 05:37 AM

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. :)

Bama 04-13-2009 07:38 AM

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!

Max - RiotDesign 04-13-2009 09:14 AM

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 :)

I will check it out then. I have friends that watched it and liked it so worth a shot.

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 great

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.

Manowar 04-13-2009 03:25 PM

rome was cancelled?

don't know what I really miss but I think HOUSE needs to one more!!! I hate waiting one or two weeks to know what happens

gandalfuy 04-13-2009 03:34 PM

when was futurama cancelled?

Varius 04-13-2009 03:54 PM

He-Man and the Master of the Universe 2002-2003 animated series needed to go longer!

Titan 04-13-2009 04:23 PM

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.

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.

rome had a fire on the set, cost of rebuilding with their audience levels were not justified.

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.

donkevlar 04-13-2009 04:44 PM

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.

Wonder Showzen.

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.

dennisthemenace 04-13-2009 05:33 PM

Joey and Carnivale - both ended at a weird time with no closure offered and kind of a guilty pleasure.

Young 04-13-2009 05:41 PM

3 fucking pages and nothing on The Wire ending early????

Sure it wasn't technically canceled but...

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.

gideongallery 04-13-2009 07:23 PM

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.

ahoy 04-13-2009 07:59 PM

As soon as I read the thread title I immediately thought of "Arrested Development".. Glad to see there are many others who agree :thumbsup

the.drunk 04-13-2009 10:26 PM

Miguel T 04-13-2009 10:51 PM

Best show ever... it ends well, but they couldn't have really fucked it up too much because of how the seasons work.

Rumors of a movie but I don't think they're true, and I don't think it would work.

gideongallery 04-21-2009 03:38 AM
