Cancelled TV Shows 2008/2009


Recommended Posts

It's interesting that all these networks cancel these shows based on the general US ratings, but surely the international appeal has to have some effect? They make huge revenue from sales of episodes to international broadcasters.

Yeah thats an interesting theory actually, maybe they should start to look at International viewing figures before deciding.

In regards to the Desperate Housewives/Grey's Anatomy shows and their ilk getting such high numbers: what is their demographic?

Think about it? Since most homes now have 2 or more decent TV sets, the women watch the "chick" shows while the men...umm....go watch another show.

I find that Domestic Tranquility is preserved when the wife watches "Dancing With the Stars". I just head over to the home office and watch something else.

Good thing I barely watch TV anymore. Everything I used to love to watch was canceled ~1997.

Same here, I usually wait for the 2nd series to be confirmed before watching the first.

To The TV companies : Stop using cliffhanger endings at the end of a show's season. If you decide to cancel the show then you won't have wasted our time with a non-finished storyline. Also I really really hate waiting 6 months to find out what happens anyway.

Also it's a crime to allows series like Friends and Sex In The City to go on for what seems like eternity and decent shows like Firefly, Terminiator, etc barely make it to the end of 1 season.

The Riches Cancelled!

Word came down.

That word is cancelled.

Thank you everyone, all the passionate folks who were rooting for our return. Alas it will not be.

As I said before, onward!

Sincerely

Firefly? Yes. Terminator? Oh heck no

You are basing an opinion on a show you haven't watched :blink:

I've watched FOX for quite a long time back when I didn't have cable. Kept up with 24, Prison Break, and such. However, I always had a knack for choosing which shows would be canceled. I know that sounds dumb, but I can tell you with all honesty that the gut feeling has never failed me.

Now, unless Terminator has Jessica Alba in it, I don't think it'll last very long. :p

You ARE kidding, right? Dark Angel HAD Jessica Alba in it, and FOX still cancelled it!! It ended with a cliff hanger ending too (if I remember correctly), but it didn't make it past the 2nd season!

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
