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

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!

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
