Fox renews 'Touch,' cancels 'Alcatraz'


Recommended Posts

Is Alcatraz worth watching bearing in mind that it has been canceled, is there some sort of acceptable ending at the end of season 1?

Nah, it has a cliff hanger at the end of the series... I thought the episodes got progressively worse as the series went on.

I got about 4 shows in, it was pretty bad. There was no sense that the show was going anywhere. Well, they was in a very small capacity early on but after that, they seemed to just go into making one shot stories for each episode without ever touching on a story arch.

"well we locked up yet another guy, good job folks!"

The reason they get canned is because Fox expects instant ratings success, not every show is a big hit, they don't give the shows time to establish themselves.

TV Ratings aren't calculated properly either, they don't take into account out of the home viewing, and I'm pretty sure they don't count DVR and Online Viewing.

TV Ratings ONLY count people with Nielsen boxes. No one else.

There are now DVR ratings, but those are new and separate.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm

    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
