So with the cancellation of Reunion and Threshold, the curses of both Chyler Leigh and Carla Gugino live on. They will never hold a TV gig that lasts more than part of a season.

Count me as a little sad to. For some reason I never watched Prison Break, and now I wish I had. But got hooked on Reunion, even though it was a bit hokey. Hopefully they will be able to resolve it. Should of known that this was to get cancelled though, with Chyler Leigh in the cast. The kiss of death.
Also kinda liked Threshold, mostly for the fact that nothing else was on that I wanted to watch. And also for Carla Gugino. She to the kiss of death it seems.

Reunion is probably the worst show I ever got hooked on.

I'm not sure if she has watched worse. I probably have.

FOX REVEALS MID-SEASON SLATE: Fox on Wednesday revealed its mid-season plan, and in doing so squelched speculation that American Idol would be moved to a Wednesday-Thursday schedule. Instead, the reality series' fifth season will stick to its Tuesday-Wednesday combo, premiering Jan. 17 at 8 pm/ET. Also announced: Trading Spouses returns Jan. 6; 24, airing Mondays at 9, starts its uninterrupted run of new episodes on Jan. 15 with a two-night, four-hour event; Skating with Celebrities bows Jan. 18, before moving to Mondays on Jan. 23; Bones relocates to Wednesday at 9 starting Jan. 25; Stacked and That '70s Show move to Thursday starting March 2; and Prison Break picks up where this week's cliff-hanger left off beginning March 20. [bAs for exits, the Reunion will come to an end on Feb. 2, as producers work hard to tie up its sprawling murder mystery a few "years" ahead of schedule.
hopefully thats true and they give us a real ending

Man, I chose the wrong new shows this year:
I quit Prison Break and Surface after the first episodes, but my wife and I really liked Threshold so we stuck with that. Whoopsie!

From TvGuide.com:
UNSOLVED MYSTERY: Reunion fans looking for some semblance of closure from Fox's recently axed drama might want to look elsewhere. Despite a week of brainstorming, show execs have concluded it simply is not possible to wrap up the central murder mystery nine "years" sooner than planned. Executive producer Jon Feldman explains in a statement, "Because the events of Samantha's murder are partially reliant on characters we haven't yet met — and events we haven't yet seen — there is no way to solve the mystery of her murder without being able to complete the full arc of our story through the present day. I greatly regret that this question along with many others that the series has posed will remain unsolved, and I am deeply grateful for the support of viewers who share this regret." Reunion's 13th and now final episode airs Feb. 2.

At the start of the season I tried to keep up with Threshold along with Surface, Lost and Invasion but two weeks ago I gave up on Threshold. It just seem the plot was to predictable. Always looking for one infected person. You didn't get that, "I've got to watch next week's episode" feeling like say with Lost. Surface and Invasion both seem to take another step forward in the storyline each week that involves more characters. They seem to tease you just enough for you to ask, "what's going to be seen, happen to this person, so on". With Threshold it's like ,"who are they going after this week?".

No, she was Molly McCaffrey on Threshold. That show was about an alien invasion and the secret government contingency plan to stop it.

In regards to REUNION... I have to wonder when the standard "TV model" for production is going to change, and why it hasn't already.
As it now stands, they have a 13-episode failure that will likely be forgotten in time. However, if The Powers That Be would fund the additional 9 episodes, even without airing them, they have a marketable "product". They can put out a DVD set: "The Complete Reunion -- with 9 never-before-seen eps!" They can reissue on Blu-Ray (and the next format, and the next). They can sell the show as a package to some cable channel that would want to air it as an ongoing miniseries. Etc. Etc. Etc.
It just seems like there are a good number of ways to repackage a complete 22-episode story (ratings/critica failure, or not) to make a decent amount of $$$$. To stop at 13 seems shortsighted, since there are very few who will be interested in ever watching this again, without even the slightest attempt to finish the story. Why in the age of amazing TV on DVD sales, Tivo, iPod downloads, etc. are networks and studios still sticking to this archaic contract model?

Why in the world would they even bother showing the next few episodes of Reunion? What, because they already paid for it? The only people that are going to watch are the ones who don't know it's ending early, and they're going to be ticked. They've gotta have something else they want to promote...

I posted a rant about this growing trend on my blog - I'm so frustrated with some of my favorite shows getting cancelled. I thought the OC has been just terrible this year, but me and the g/f have thoroughly enjoyed Reunion. She heard a rumor a few weeks back that it was getting the axe, but I naively thought that it just meant that it wasn't getting renewed, since the show is really setup to only be a one-season show (like Prison Break).
Very annoyed about Threshold as well - Corny as it was, it was something fun and mindless to watch on an otherwise barren Friday night. I even dealt with the move to Tuesdays, and all the conflicts it caused there (Nip/Tuck, Real World, Adam Carolla, etc).. But as we all saw, that lasted not even 2 weeks. Again, a stupid move where we all knew it wouldn't work because of the strong programing it was going against.
Now if they put it against Surface and/or Invasion, I think that would have been a better gauge of it's future success. Oh well, 2 less things to record on my Replay.
