Sarah Connor: Officially axed

[yendi]

So, after all the good weekend news -- Dollhouse, Scrubs, Castle, Better Off Ted, Chuck -- the bad news has hit. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been axed. It's not surprising, but it's still disappointing.

Also noted in that article: The Unusuals, a cop show that's much better than most of the other cop shows currently on the air, has gotten the axe.

That sucks about both shows. I really like the Unusuals.

Well, that just sucks.

I would so trade chuck for terminator, hell throw in doll house too

*nod* It's got the quirkiness of Keen Eddie, another short-lived one, and I always prefer my cop shows quirky.

[yendi]

*nod* I knew that it wasn't all going to be good news (and the axe is likely to fall on Reaper and Samantha Who as well), but it's still disappointing.

[yendi]

Well, sure. But I'd rather have all three and get rid of Cold Case, NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, and whatever the crappy GA spinoff is called. Alas, all such decisions are out of my control.

Of course, the shows that I actually watch. We love Reaper and Samantha Who. It makes me not want to start watching anything new when it comes on for fear of enjoying it and then it being canceled too soon.

bugger =(

yeah, I'll just add in another, "me too".

[pete-wisdom.livejournal.com]

So, Dollhouse and Scrubs are not cancelled?

[wishiwasnt.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I love Scrubs, but I'm pretty sure its renewal is not good news.

"It's got the quirkiness of Keen Eddie"

...and I MISSED THIS?

Damn.

[yendi]

Well, there's still a few episodes left. But yeah. Different kinds of quirkiness (this was more Hill Street Blues in style), but still worthwhile.

[yendi]

There's a small ray of hope for Reaper, with a chance at a syndicated option.

[yendi]

Nope. Both picked up over the weekend.

[yendi]

I'm mixed. I love the new interns (well, mainly Sunny and Denise, but the others show potential), but the finale was perfect.

Re: bugger =(

[darknbitter.livejournal.com]

Do we think there's even a chance it could jump networks (Scifi?) or comicbooks?

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

See, and it's titally what we were hoping for, that JD would leave and the show would continue with the interns coming to the front. So I'm ok with this, even as perfect and wonderful as the finale was.

Re: bugger =(

[yendi]

I doubt the network jump is likely, but a comic wouldn't surprise me at all.

Then again, after Buffy, I'm not sure I'd want a jump to comics; it's possible for the medium to actively destroy the message, as has been the case there.

Zach Braff is now coming back for something like four or six episodes to transition to the new team.

Frak!!!!!

With the exception of Better Off Ted - Chronicles is the only one of that list husband & I watch, and we looked forward to it every week!!

Stupid network. Guess they didn't notice that Terminator:Salvation is coming out this summer... idiots.

You'd get rid of NCIS!?!?

What's wrong with NCIS? I only just started watching it in syndication and with every episode have felt... how have I missed out on this for so long?

[lordrexfear.livejournal.com]

Motherfuckers...

WE NEED THE UNUSUALS!

The Unusuals was just awesome. Amber on my TV once a week is a joy. (not to mention Goldberg... that dude is cool. You know... he's been in his share of one season shows)

(I'm probably one of the few folks on your Flist that couldn't give two about Sarah Connor... I tried to get into it... did NOTHING for me... acting, attractiveness of the actors, plots... nope, didn't feel it)

And the characters were more developed than on most shows these days.

I was ranting about this - I totally *LOVE* Terminator: tSCC, and the season finale was such a great set-up for another season (except for that really awkward not-a-sex-scene, which creeped me out completely). I completely fell off the Dollhouse bandwagon early on, but I hear it picked up and stopped sucking, so I'll be watching it online this summer.
