Guess we’ll likely never find out what the Badlands were all about.

Fox has cancelled prehistoric dino drama Terra Nova after one season, ending months of will-they-or-won’t-they speculation. Studio 20th Century Fox TV, however, says they fight Terra Nova’s extinction event by shopping the series to other networks.

Fox sucks period, I think any Sci-Fi they show on the network gets cut, it's to bad there isn't a dedicated Sci-Fi channel for these types of shows to live on. silly

If they bring anything back I want it to be the Sarah Conner Cronicles, and maybe Firefly.

I read that Netflix, Hulu and others are putting out their own programming now. I don't know if its crappy atm but I wonder if eventually these guys will rival networks for quality programming,(and not have to worry about license fees).

I watched that show on Hulu and was hoping for a second season, so if anyone wants to blame me for its demise, go ahead. I have a positively stellar track record of getting any show cancelled I take an interest in. plain

Damn. That leaves Fringe (prob won't last past this season, maybe 1 more if their lucky) as the only sci-fi show on TV? Lame.

We need a new Star Trek TV show, Seth MacFarlane said he wanted to do it, Paramount needs to get that sh*t going.

I stopped watching after 3 episodes.

The really sad thing is that such a good idea was made so terribly bad.

This is the main reason I was willing to watch not-so-great sci-fi. Lack of options. Waiting for a couple shows to return on HBO, sticking by almost anything BBC/A. BBC has the best track record so far.

I am guessing the reality TV craze will come to a close eventually. So many channels I used to enjoy have been sucked into this hell hole. A lot of these channels will pick the crappiest show they have and put it on marathon for 18+ hours. They're not even trying!

There are crap ton of fantasy/super/paranormal shows. Why can't we have a sci-fi show? Freaking SyFy doesn't even have a sci-fi show.

I am also in the running for herald of doom when it comes to TV shows. If I like it -- it dies -- every time.

What it is really time for is a new "Outer Limits" or "Twilight Zone" show.

Been way too long since Outer Limits on Sho then Sci Fi went away.

I agree with you on the lack of sci-fi. And for the record I don't count any of those ghost hunting or paranormal "reality" crap as anything but CRAP. It isn't Sci-fi. SyFy needs to get new management and better programming and bring back the old name.

Show was interesting to the point that after I stopped watching it, I forgot about it.


I feel that is a common perception of the show. Too forgettable. Story that could have been better combined with no great characters equals cancelled show.

Someone mentioned a while back that the current head of the SyFy network hates Science Fiction, and that's why they have all the crap like Wrestling and Ghost Hunter garbage that they do now.

Ive resorted to dling and rewatching the Xena: Warrior princess series for "decent" fantasy shows.  Its very very cheesy at times and have whole seasons that stink for the most part but the good episdes are really REALLY great. Im not ashamed to admit I bawled my eyes out over the two part series finale. It was SO freaking sad.

I have every episode of Buffy, and I re-watch seasons randomly when I need a "fix". And I'll watch SG-1 every single time I see it on TV.

Fox canceling shows? Why, how unusual.

Thats what Fox does. If there is a show on Fox, there's a 95% chance it will be canceled soon.

From what I understand the new episodes of Arrested Development are under production for Netflix. If that equals the original, should put any fears of the quality of programming to bed.

Peter Griffin was so right...

and since those shows he listed, FOX has greenlighted and canceled about 150 other shows

I watched that show on Hulu and was hoping for a second season, so if anyone wants to blame me for its demise, go ahead. I have a positively stellar track record of getting any show cancelled I take an interest in. plain


Can you PLEASE start watching Jersey Shore and shows like that?

good idea for a show, decent actors, horrible writing


This

I tried it out for the first few weeks and then all they did was ruin it by turning into a political drama so I quit watching. I thought it was going to be more of a "settlers vs the elements/nature" type of adventure show not good guy/bad guy techno battle BS. Bleh. Yeah they threw in the occasional dino/insect/critter but not enough to keep my attention.

Awake and Touch look like promising "SciFi" shows.

I watched 10 minutes. It hurt me to say that.

Ive resorted to dling and rewatching the Xena: Warrior princess series for "decent" fantasy shows.  Its very very cheesy at times and have whole seasons that stink for the most part but the good episdes are really REALLY great. Im not ashamed to admit I bawled my eyes out over the two part series finale. It was SO freaking sad.


Xena did have some good eps, but the series finale always bugged me. Xena just goes gets herself killed so a bunch of dead people can stay dead.

Even calling those shows "SciFi" is a stretch. I'd say Warehouse 13 is more "SciFi" even though its technically fantasy.

Although I would like to see more sci-fi, I don't mind blurring the lines between sci-fi and fantasy sometimes. What really annoys me is all the ghost hunting crap and other similar things they try to pass off as some "reality tv" show.

Thats why I said 95%. I had the Simpsons and Family Guy in mind as the 5%.

Even FG doesn't count as part of that, they got cancelled and then uncancelled..
