Tag Archive: Terra Nova


Random question of the day!  Now that the dust has settled as the networks have (hopefully) completed their program cancellations, which sci-fi/ fantasy show cancellation (of the 2011-2012 tv season) has you the most upset?  Vote in the poll below!

Out of all of them, I am most upset about Chuck ending.  Though the quality declined a little bit in recent years, it was always a fun, simple show to watch with some cool, dynamic characters who had great chemistry together.  I honestly wasn’t a huge fan of the others, though I did enjoy Sanctuary, Eureka and Awake.  Terra Nova was terrible a complete let down in my opinion.

What do you think?

EDIT: And yes, I decided to add in NBC’s Chuck and SYFY’s Eureka because they were cancelled before their final seasons which aired this tv season (Fall 2011 to Spring 2012).  I know Chuck wasn’t technically cancelled but  it was ended by the network due to bad ratings and they gave it one last season to tie up loose ends so I’ll include it.

ANOTHER EDIT: Shit, I forgot Terra Nova…Adding now.

I’ve been following the business of TV (ratings and so on) for several years now and have gotten fairly good at predicting renewals vs cancellations.  Below are my predictions for all the sci-fi and fantasy shows on the 5 major American networks.

 

FOX:

-Fringe: renewed for a fifth and final season of 13 episodes!

- Touch: ratings aren’t great but I think it will get one more season, even an extra short one

- Alcatraz: will be cancelled.

- Terra Nova: already cancelled.  Netflix talks fell through as well.

 

NBC:

- Awake: Ratings are VERY low, even for NBC’s standards.  The show is great but I’d be surprised if it got one more season.  Fingers crossed though!

-Grimm: Already renewed for a second season.  Seems to be doing very well on Fridays.

 

CW:

- Supernatural: Renewed for an 8th season

- Nikita: Doesnt look good.  Most likely cancelled.

- Vampire Diaries: Renewed.

 

CBS:

- Persons of Interest: Already renewed for a second season.  Haven’t watched this but I’ve heard great things.  Glad to see a sci-fi show actually getting good ratings!

 

ABC:

- The River: Will be cancelled.  Netflix was in talks to pick this up but its VERY doubtful.

- Once Upon A Time: Will be renewed for sure.

Just a post to let you all you guys know about a very interesting group on Facebook called Save Sci Fi!  The group is growing in numbers very quickly and it’s sole purpose is to encourage networks to create more quality sci-fi TV!  With Fringe leaving the air next season, there isn’t much left out on the small screen!

Join this group https://www.facebook.com/SaveSciFi and help in the fight for the future!
