Topic: that it

According to Michael Ausiello over at Entertainment Weekly, two “inside sources” are telling him that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been canceled, and all that’s left is for FOX to make it official with an announcement. Unfortunately for everyone involved (but especially the fans holding out for a third season), FOX won’t be doing any such thing until May 18, when they roll out their Fall Schedule to the press.

From EW:

“It’s done,” maintains a source close to the show. “Everyone has pretty much known for a couple of weeks.” Adds a network insider: “Consider it canceled.”

The one bright spot? Despite horrific ratings, Fox isn’t ready to declare SCC dead and buried — at least not officially. “No decision has been made yet,” insists a network rep. “We will be announcing our fall schedule on May 18.”

Rough translation: It won’t be back.

So there you have it. Obviously nothing is written in stone until it’s written in stone, and it won’t be written in stone until FOX reveals its Fall lineup on May 18. But still, you should prepare yourself anyway. I can’t really tell you Ausiello’s batting average, but as long as I’ve been reading him, he’s usually right about these cancellation notices.

Yeah, it sucks if true, but I can’t say I wasn’t expecting it.

Re: that it

That's really no surprise - just bad FOX politics, as usual neutral

Re: that it

What the fuck is wrong with todays viewers???? Why the fuck can't they watch the high quality, awesome shows instead of the fucking brain-dead reality shows!?! I hate fox! I hate reality tv and I especially hate the people who'd rather watch reality tv than TSCC! They all deserve to burn in the special level of hell... the level reserved for child molesters and people who like reality tv!


Edit: That has to be the most offensive post, I've ever written... sorry, but I'm just not in a good mode...

I agree.
We do realise that TSCC might be cancelled come 18th of May, but until we get it from an official source all these blogs are just spouting shite (I hope), and that in itself is becoming the broken record not you!

Re: that it

The problem is that when Nielsen computes the ratings, there are two categories - live viewers and DVR viewers. The networks don't consider DVR viewers as "real viewers" because they fast-forward the commercials. So they count only live viewers, and on Friday night most of the demographic who likes this show is probably out doing awesome things with other awesome people.

I, for one, DVRed the show and watched in on Saturday afternoon.

The TV networks need to come up with a new revenue model that gets them paid for high-quality shows (like this one) instead of relying on live viewers. With internet-based TV sources (both legal and otherwise) nobody's sitting through 20 minutes of commercials for every hour of programming anymore. I don't have any specific ideas, but I'm sure there's something that can be done.

I really loved this show and I was outraged when I heard they'd pulled the plug.

Re: that it

Yeh, they're going to have to change the rating system. It should be ratings based on cable subscribers. They are the ones who are paying. And they should cut out all the commercials.
Any channel promising no commercial breaks, yeh I'll pay.

I could not agree more with you man. I really really really hate reality tv...and i can't believe that TSCC doesn't have better ratings

O Plaxico, Where art thou?

Re: that it

I'm surprised I've not seen it mentioned anywhere as yet (or maybe I just don't read the right sources).

Could they be waiting till after the films first week (to see how it does, which I imagine will be pretty good), to decided on it's fate?

Like I said, they could easily have the third season première in the New Year.

Re: that it

I am also waiting for this?! I mean, the hype about saving Dollhouse and Chuck: Where is TSCC in all this?! I like them both, but they're NOTHING compared to TSCC!!! Why is noone talking TSCCs case?
And reality TV?! I really really don't get it! I don't think I've ever watched a full episode of enything but the Amazing race, and we don't even get that over here anymore....
