[Cancelled] Sarah Connor Chronicles (Terminator Series)

[DrCheese]

Quoted from digitalspy:-

Here's a couple of TSCC mentions from the FOX programming conference:

16:19 - Terminator vs. Dollhouse, “Terminator’s run is completed” “That’s it for Terminator“, “was not an either or with Dollhouse”

17:14 - Did show budget influence the cancellation of Terminator? “Cost was *a* factor”, “Ratings trendline wasn’t pointing in the right direction”, “We tried, but it’s time to move on”.

Even tho' it's been 99.99% definite for a while, was still quite sad to see it confirmed.

too bad to see one of my favourite shows ever gone, but at least it got the time to deliver a mindblowing finale, besides Fox decision to screw it up every way possible, moving it to fridays, etc

to quote Joss Whedon's Mal character "we've accomplished the impossible, and that makes us mighty"

[DrCheese]

meh as I say the show was complete garbage during the middle of season 2. Jessie and Riley ugh and then the crap with emo Sarah. It's not hard to see why the show lost viewers as quickly as it did, It did start to pickup towards the end (i.e the submarine episode onward) but it was to late.

Giving the show a full 22 episode season was the worst choice they made. Over here we have seasons that last 8 to 10 weeks which means every week has to be used to advance the plot rather than filling it with crappy filler episodes.

Exact wording from the fox president:

[sarah Connor] has completed its run. I think it had a nice little run. It was a good show. It was not an either or [with Dollhouse]. We did see it tailing off a bit [in the ratings]. It had a nice creative core, but, ultimately, we made the bet on Dollhouse, so that's it for [sarah Connor]... We make no apologies. We gave it a lot of support and some consistent scheduling. We tried and thought it was time to move on.

That's good to hear but to say I am stunned is an understatement the support online I thought of been enough but heh that's life.

i find it funny how it was an either or between dollhouse and scc yet dollhouse had to get an even smaller budget. good thing im not interested in any of there new shows

Yet Dollhouse has been told to half their budget.

To be honest the only show I liked on that network besides TSCC was Fringe, and I'll find other ways to watch it then to watch Fox TV. None of there new shows look any good- Syfy and ABC seems to be where the new scifi shows are.

[Xero]

Ah poop. I kind of expected this as much as I didn't want to. Still have hope it will resurrect someway, somehow. I am glad they picked Dollhouse at least. While I liked Terminator better Dollhouse was a great show and I'm glad it'll be coming back. 2 Seasons is better than none. At least they didn't pick up Shovin' Buddies or Cross-armed Opposites ;) You'd have to see Family Guy this weekend to get that lol.

:cry:

Looks like Judgment day came and killed John Conner. :( Let's hope that The WB! will shop it around. :)

[dangerouseddy]

i really liked this series, at least the ending wasnt too bad.

Well after 2253 replies this thread is over :(

it was fun while it lasted.

i wonder if movie can spark interest in TSCC, and in result fox will change their mind. too bad it hont happen :(

[burnsflipper]

the quick fact in the decision seems that fox makes and produces dollhouse, where tscc was produced by wb, so the dvd earnings would be less for fox, in simple things, it all comes down to money :ninja:

[TonyLock]

It's official, they've cancelled the show :-(

Apparently, it's too costly to produce.

How on earth did "Chuck" get a renewal for season 3 and not SCC?

TERMINATED!

[Phantom Helix]

I guess people that watch mediocre television now outweigh those that want genuinely good stories.

this show being canceled at this point in the the story sucks beyond belief, the least they could have done is given them one last full season to complete the story, this makes me not want to go see the movie or its 2 planned sequals.

and to think i was going to buy a $500 lifesize bust of a t-800 today, guess im not gonna do that either, EFF YOU FOX

Because Chuck rocks and SCC, well.... I've already shared my opinions on it.

[kaotic]

I'm hoping that a couple years down the road that we might see a novel written to finish and close the story. That's about all I expect that can happen to this series at this point.

It will go down as one of the best canceled Scifi Series of all time up there with firefly and battlestar 1980.

hmm not sure about that... it might have been good but it wasn't that exceptional

Well that's why everyone can have there opinions on the matter. :)
