Ghost Whisperer does well on Fridays because pretty much every CBS show gets over 10m viewers.

Re: Sarah Connor Chronicles to Be Cancelled

I have a bunch of episode left from this season. Does the last episode have some sort of closure?

I'd Definitely recommend watching the remaining shows. I got the feeling while watching the finale that it was written in a way to be both a season AND a series finale (covering all bases). Aside from that, the final 4 or 5 episodes of this season have been the best of the series, IMO.

The last few episodes resolve a lot, but they introduce some new stuff at the end and leave on a cliffhanger. Most of the people in the weekly thread seemed satisfied with the finale.

Re: Sarah Connor Chronicles to Be Cancelled

I can't say I ever watched it. So it would be worth a blind buy on DVD?

Re: Sarah Connor Chronicles to Be Cancelled

I liked the first year but the writing has been pretty mediocre this season. I stopped watching about 8 episodes ago and my partnerhas been sorta watching but fast forwarding through most of the episodes. Most I talked to felt the same way.
I hear it rebounded on the last two episodes but by then most people had bailed already.

Re: Sarah Connor Chronicles to Be Cancelled

I'm disappointed, but I can't say I'm devastated. Season 2 has been inconsistent. I think the show would have worked better with only 13 episodes for season 2. I think the last 1/4 of season 2 made up for all the mediocre and bad episodes.

After getting off to such a horrible start on Monday's in the ratings and even worse on Friday's, I was happy that FOX decided to stick with it.

I do look forward to getting the DVD and listening to the commentary on some of these episodes.

I thought the finale worked as both a season and series finale.

The Winter finale killed the show. It was a horrible episode and when they came back it didn't get better for a while.

Not surprised. The last couple of episodes were decent, but overall Season 2 sucked. Now I can ignore Fox altogether.

Re: Sarah Connor Chronicles to Be Cancelled

I do have to give Kevin Reilly (Fox's entertainment president) some credit. Let's face it, under the old Fox regime, this show would have lasted three episodes before they canceled it. THe fact that it got a 9-episode 1st season (writer's strike killed the last 4 episodes) and another 22 episode season on Fox is remarkable.

I would like to see (at least) enough episodes to wrap up any loose ends.

It is a catch twenty two, people are getting tired of devoting time to a show that never has a proper final, everytime I take a chance it gets canceled, sometimes it gets some type of ending ike Journeyman did, most times not, I got lucky with Heroes lasting, I am done, I am tired of anything I find entertaining being canceled without a complete story, so once again, back to waiting until DVD and when the show is proven to have a complete story.

Agree 100% I'm surprised that people aren't giving Reilly more credit for sticking with the show. If Gail Berman or Peter Liguori were still running things, this show would have been DOA in the fall.
