[Cancelled] Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator Series)


Recommended Posts

If you, the Zap2it readers, were in charge of network scheduling for next season, then all the talk about "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and "Chuck" being on the bubble for renewal would disappear.

The two series have emerged as the overwhelming favorites in our Keep 'em or Kill 'em polls of 27 series that we think could go either way when the networks announce their 2009-10 schedules over the next few weeks. The voters say they want a dozen shows on our list back next season. At the other end of the spectrum, people don't seem to care if "In the Motherhood," "The Game" or "Worst Week" ever grace their TV screens again.

"Terminator" fans mobilized heavily to vote in their show's poll. As of 2 p.m. ET Thursday, the show had racked up 26,553 votes -- more than twice as many as any other show on the list -- and 86 percent of them (22,711) say FOX should keep the modestly rated show (5.3 million viewers this season) on the air.

The other big winner in the poll was "Chuck," which ended its second season on NBC Monday. It's getting 80 percent support from the more than 11,000 people who have voted so far.

Other shows enjoying heavy support include "Castle" (69 percent yes), "Dollhouse" (64 percent), "Life" (62 percent) and "Samantha Who?" (60 percent).

ABC's "In the Motherhood" and The CW's "The Game," on the other hand, are getting next to no love. Close to 90 percent of the people voting on those two shows have said to kill them. The results aren't much better for CBS' "Worst Week," which is only getting 16 percent support.

Here's the full rundown of voting so far. All totals are as of 2 p.m. ET Thursday.

"Better Off Ted" - Keep it: 57%, Kill it: 43% (9,979 votes)

"Castle" - Keep it: 69%, Kill it: 31% (10,127 votes)

"In the Motherhood" - Keep it: 11%, Kill it: 89% (7,843 votes)

"Samantha Who?" - Keep it: 60%, Kill it: 40% (8,963 votes)

"Surviving Suburbia" - Keep it: 18%, Kill it: 82% (7,615 votes)

"The Unusuals" - Keep it: 58%, Kill it: 42% (8,723 votes)

Kickass with the votes :D Terminator will live on!

Funny about people mailing chips. I'll be keeping mine lol

Same- I think tscc will be back this fall. Right now I don't see how Fox can cancel this show with how much support it's got behind it.

About two and half weeks until we know for sure I guess.

This is something that Xero will like I think. It was sent to me on twitter- Summer Glau at LA Sci-fi convention- The person that sent it to me said he couldn't stop looking at this because she had the best smile. :/ I have to say he's a little weird.

Also like to add I've never seen this, but if you have sorry.

Well hopefully they'll start re-airing tscc.

Also from http://twitter.com/FoxBroadcasting

The fans have spoken...TSCC, the show you really really want - http://bit.ly/oKJRV / http://bit.ly/DHmqabout 12 hours ago from web

They're paying attention to the polls it seems. I guess this is a good sign.

The zap2it link is broken I guess.

This is a very random post- I saw this on twitter and it made me start thinking about the show.

As much as I like SCC, and Summer Glau as Cameron I don't see how Josh Friedman picked this women to be a teriminator. Looks like she's 90 pounds in this picture.

She can do stunts/fight from serenity, and after T3 people liked a sexy terminator ;) and the show will be re-airing after the movie for sure.

I've been watching season 1, and 2 that I got from Itunes. I think they should start re-airing them this week because Prison Break is so bad.

She looks thin there but she still looks good :p

I'm not denying that at all. Btw I was told that the reason she's so thin is because she's sick (twitter- the **** you read).

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
