Terminator Gets Terminated?

Terminator Gets Terminated?

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is getting the axe after just two seasons, EW reports.

“It’s done,” a source reveals. “Everyone has pretty much known for a couple of weeks.” Adds a network insider: “Consider it canceled.”

“No decision has been made yet,” insists a network rep. “We will be announcing our fall schedule on May 18.”

This past Friday, Terminator pulled in 3.6 million viewers during its season (and possible series) finale.

Poor Summer Glau!

I HOPE it is not cancelled. *sigh* The show was just coming together and now…..

This would really be sad.

TSCC probably not a cheap show to produce and this is it’s undoing. A terrible meaningless cheap reality show will be put in its place I bet.

No Prison Break. It was time for that show to end. I can’t wait to see what Wentworth does next.

No Terminator TSCC.

No Fox network on my TV. Period

Peace

This is a show I look forward to every week and the last episode was amazing. I am crossing my fingers that they bring it back, it is seriously one of the best shows on tele. bet

I have to DVR it because I am never home on fridays, if they changed the day I bet it would help.

noo please :(

I reported this story over two weeks ago on March 27 on my blog. I had visited WB on business and noticed that the sets were gone, as in torn down and not in storage. I also confirmed with a source close to the show that it had been cancelled, stating also it was common knowledge.

I was crucified by dozens of the so called top bloggers. Seems I get the last laugh as Ausiello, one of the above mentioned is now reporting EXACTLY what I did two weeks ago as fact.

This is the biggest I told you so in recent TV history. I wondeer what you guys over there a Terminator Wiki have to say now?

I sure hope it doesnt get canceled, it was just getting really good. And, if they are going to cancel it they could atleast come back for a couple more episodes to tie up all the loose ends cause the last episode that aired on Friday was a cliff hanger and they just can’t cancel a series leaving it wide open, that just sucks!!

That sucks, season 2 is still airing here, but I love it so much, I think that it’s awesome, and I don’t want it to end.

fug face maniston, just because you and other people didn’t watch it, does not make it trash. there have been many amazing shows that have gotten cancelled too early because people don’t give it a chance while other ridiculous, inane shows stay on the air for a very long time. i’m really sad about this cancellation and i will miss it for sure.

well we know Lanie Grace is full of crap. If you were at the WB no wonder you didnt’ see Sets for Terminator. Its a Fox television show. Don’t believe the rumours. Fox would be shooting itself in the foot to rid itself of Terminator though they do have a terrible record with sci fi shows. Its their own fault for sticking them on Friday Nights its the worst slot in tv history for shows of its kind.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO hopefully the official word will come out soon and be the opposite!

urggggg. they don’t count ratings from online viewing and i have always watched the show online cause of my schedule as do a lot of people. DO NOT CANCEL! its a good show. granted, i have no idea how where its going is going to tie into the new terminator movie but whatever. the finale was brilliant.

If you haven’t already, there is a petition circulationg to save the show, please sign it and hopefully it will be picked up by another network, if FOX cancels it:

http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/the-sarah-connor-chronicles.html

Or you can email FOX at askfox@fox.com with your thoughts on the show!!!

Yeah, Lanie Grace, I also loved your supposedly leaked finale story. Great , accurate reporting right there!

never watched one episode or in that case even tune it
it just didnt look that interesting 2 me
i always thought ppl watched it tho, im surprised this happened

fave show since Buffy the Vampire Slayer and it gets canceled after 2 seasons -_-
I hate FOX seriously

i love this show i got the first season on dvd there are plots unanswered now that weaver is on the connors side thats a good thing we must see if they can stop machines and if cameron and john actually be something

Elvenangel,

WB produces and films TSCC. Fox only airs the show and has nothing to do with production. GET A CLUE

Lanie,
Why would they need any of the sets after the finale? You’re just desperately seeking attention with your blog. GET A RELIABLE SOURCE

if you are a fan of the terminator movies, you must be a fan of the sarah connor chronicles!!!!! any show where the women kick ass is a hit!!!!! fox dont make a mistake!!!! the last episode left me wanting more, and if it didnt for you then you are a liar!!!!it seems once a show is moved from its original time slot, it is doomed,let this not be the case! friday nights are becoming so dull,they are dull. its so tiresome to become involved with a show only to have some no-account numbers counting big headed exexcutive ruin the few pleasures we normal every day working men and women have!!!give us what we want! and we want SARAH CONNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

URTERMINATEDFKR @ 04/20/2009 at 2:08 am

FOX has done this with every well done sc-fi show it does. These FOX execs just don’t get the fan base and what we want to see.

This is one of the best written shows on TV. If this goes SCREW ‘EM!!!

Who cares? It’s dumb.

john parsons @ 04/25/2009 at 12:49 pm

send e mails to si fi channel to pick up the show fox loss si fie gain

Cameronphillips @ 04/25/2009 at 6:56 pm

This is such a shame, the series had a slow start but as got better and better as its gone on. The 2nd series finale was absolutely mind blowing and of course its got summer in it, in fact the only way it could be improved, would be if summer was in it more :)

I guess Perez Hilton hates this show, too, since everyone in the trade rags seem hellbent on its being cancelled despite its huge and growing fan base.

Unless you have a bunch of teenagers ******** their brains out or a bunch of moronic losers placed in a perfectly unrealistic situation to see how they react, it is just not good television.

Losers. Hopefully Fox will prove you wrong…again!

This is a good show!!! It need at least one more season. Fox killed the show by putting it on Friday nights.

@[~☆Fug Face Man!ston☆~]:
Screw you you prick, This was the best show on TV!! If FOX does get rid of this, I wont have any reason to even watch TV at all.

Fox, you’re doing it again! Stop making the same mistakes! Look at the long term. The show brought in steady flow of ratings even when the time slots were moved…Hello, anyone Home? Do not cancel!

Lessthenzero @ 05/13/2009 at 5:25 pm

That’s the end of my fox watching! They moved it to Friday which just killed it. Hmmm wonder why no one is watching…OH that’s right, it’s Friday and everyone is out partying! I arranged my work schedule around this show when it was on Monday night. I work Friday nights, and thankfully the only smart thing fox did was to put it on the internet so I could watch it on Saturday. I’m sorry but society is brain washed with mindless reality t.v. Biggest Loser? Like I wanna watch a bunch of fat people lose weight and get yelled at… WoW I’m so impressed. I just got an (A) in my college marketing and business management class, maybe I should go take over the douche bags position at fox network.

It would be a mistake for Fox to cancel the Sarah Cinnir Chronicles. Just watch how successful Terminator Salvation will be. The movie will bring many more viewers to the TV series.
