i am currently downloading ep9, and going to start the conversion to wmv while i
am at work so i can watch it on my xbox360 when i come back.
i hope it does get renewed. even though the acting is pretty cheesy at times, i
enjoy watching this show a lot.
oh, and since no one asked, and there always has to be that one token person
that has to ask and annoy the crap outta everyone: "wh3n iz teh 720pe ep 8
commin'?" ~_^
admin : sorry was already done many times over. was edited and a response was
posted. so maybe read first?

yeah the whole ratings system is kind of ridiculous/meaningless.
it's really
only based on a very small minority, and then they multiply that to give an
indication of the whole population.
fox are well known for canceling good shows. e.g. firefly! that also had summer
glau in.
(i'm british too)
no firefly was the exception to the rule; it was a dull show that fox showed
uncommon good sense in cancelling. summer glau jello wrestling jewel stait
couldn't have saved it...well maybe i'm wrong there.
tscc is decent show and deserves another season but like everything else it
comes down to the numbers.

them to you all.

things are a matter of taste. i personally don't like shows that some people
love! i hope this show doesn't get the axe, but like many shows my one opinion
doesn't really matter. if the show is overwhelmingly unpopular then they'll cut
it. it's business.

i didn't find it dull, but it was trying way too hard to be a western. however
the characters and cast were excellent.
anyway look at how fox destroyed sliders. that was madness.
i just find it hard to see why shows like er have 14 seasons. it seems
incredibly boring to me.

yeah it is down to numbers to see how popular the show is but again its actually
down to boxset sales for the money to be made back on the production costs of
the show. considering that it will cost us like 40 quid ($80) for the release
when it comes out over here. the numbers merely suggest whether or not a show
will be recommissioned as this populartiy projects dvd sales etc. terminator
probably will continue as its brand sells itself. merchandising etc. this is
where the money is actually made. especially now across the formats of dvd and
blueray. why do you think these shows get pushed on to dvd so quickly after they
are released. i understand that small shows like firefly get pulled but they
simply dont have the brand that this show does. lets get to the point this is
based upon one of the biggest box office smashers of its time. i like how the
leading lady is actually british as well lol. atleast the acting is not as bad
as the new knight rider series which is actually awfull and a crime against the
original. i actually hope that gets pulled because its a really bad pastiche of
something that was moderately ok to begin with. lets be honest david hasselhoff
is a shite actor. i bet they remake the a-teamn as well.
so all of you should keep your hats on. terminator will be here to stay. its
been a success in the uk so far like heroes. the only thing stopping it is the
writers.

shows only get pulled because the
general concensus is that its bollocks to begin with.
...
its good that stuff gets cancelled it shows that the public would
rather watch things that are actually worth writing etc.
well, does name "firefly" ring a bell?
"general consensus" can be like common wisdom, everybody agree but everybody
wrong...but in case of tv shows it'll be too late.

your comparing firefly to a series based on the terminator films? no comparison.
its like comparing baywatch to twin peaks.
as it says in the blog the season is ending because of writers not for any other
reason. the ratings were good
from wiki:
following the resolution of the wga strike, the los angeles times printed a
chart indicating the status of american network television series. the chart,
reprinted by a number of other websites, categorizes the series as "on the
bubble", a term used to describe series in danger of cancellation, although as
of march 3, 2008 fox has yet to announce the fate of the series.[40] producer
josh friedman has said his plans are to incorporate the unfilmed storylines from
the remaining 4 episodes of season 1 into the start of season 2.
but on the other hand.
the series premiere in the united states was watched by 18.6 million viewers
during its premiere time on january 13, 2008 according to hollywoodreporter.com
roughly twice the number of the golden globes ceremony.

can't believe they wouldnt renew this show. i loved it all season long!
anyone else think the finale was a little lame or slow?
there really wasnt all that much action in the 2 hours, and the commercials
seemed to come every 3 mins

think this was not the orignal finale.
they cut the season short for the writers strike.
for me, the same. all the hyping about the season end fight and then they dont
even show anything. typical american stuff, you can buy guns as you wish, but
cannot show "violence" at tv.
