Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Not a loss at all. Watched the first few episodes and was bored.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Really? If you consider how much of their schedule is taken up by X-Factor in the Fall and American Idol in the Spring, are they ever really hurting for actual non-reality programming?

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Yes, what are you doing with Mondays?

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

I think they have some hopes for Touch.. and maybe this will save Fringe for one more season...

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

I am actually quite pleased to read this news. If it in any way results in permanently ensuring that television will never again be infected by Brannon Braga Mediocrity (TM), then we can rejoice in the fact that this show's existence will have served a very noble purpose indeed. So say we all. Amen.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Now THIS is a show that deserves renewing. Hope this is true.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

I know some people liked this show and I don't like celebrating their loss, but I have to agree with those that say good riddance.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

I gave up on the show after 3-4 episodes so no big loss to me. It had great potential though. Touch better live up to the hype of the pilot; fox's lineup seems pretty scarce these days. Bring back Jack Bauer; I want my Prison Break/24 Mondays back!!

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Bring back Xfiles a Xfiles/Fringe friday night would be awesome lol

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Ah well. I only had a passing interest, but my 9 year old enjoyed a lot.

Thos.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

I found it entertaining, but it looked and felt like a SyFy show. With the budget they had, there was no excuse for that.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Tera Nova is my favorite porn star.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Confidential. ;)

Seriously? That is two hours of programming. If they bring back Alcatraz, they only have an hour to fill (Touch).

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

I've read conflicting reports about the plans for Fringe. I do remember them throwing around the six season plan when it started, but I also remember an interview a few years later where they sort of backed away from that.

At any rate, I don't think it would be too difficult for them to compress two seasons of major arc stories down to thirteen episodes if they cut out all of the standalones and cases.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Wow, am I the only one who DOESN'T want FRINGE to come back? They were given a "gift" this year with a renewal and the writers have really slacked off on that show. If I were a network exec, there's no way I'd bring FRINGE back...it's one of the lowest rated network shows currently on.

ALCATRAZ I can take or say goodbye to...pretty much the same way I felt about TERRA NOVA...I'd watch it if it was on, but wouldn't miss it if it wasn't.

I think TERRA NOVA got the axe because FOX expects TOUCH to do quite well...but what happens if TOUCH's ratings look worse than TERRA NOVA and ALCATRAZ's in a few months?

If I were FOX, this is what I would have done with TERRA NOVA: No, we're not picking you up for 13 episodes, but we are picking you up for three 2-hour movies (essentially a six-episode order). That would have been a great way to keep costs down, quality the same, and the fans happy.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Will SYFY pick it up at a lower cost?

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

:lol:

What lower cost? Under a million per episode to produce?

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Except that FOX doesn't actually care about this. ;)

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Are there Terra Nova fans?

I enjoyed it, but I'm not really bummed it got canceled. They had 13 episodes to impress and they squandered whatever potential the premise had.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Exactly what I was thinking! rotfl

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Not surprised at all by this. Just too damn expensive.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

It would have been nice if they had made an interesting Sci-Fi show but they didn't.
The writing was bad and the plotting horrible. Was it a kids show or for adults?
Swiss Family Robinson is Stone Age? It could never seem to make up its mind.
I hope Fringe comes back for 13 episodes.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

At least the show had a semi conclusion.

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

Now Deadline says that Netflix is looking at doing season 2: http://www.deadline.com/2012/03/netf...ed-terra-nova/

Re: FOX cancels Terra Nova
 

LMAO.

Not gonna happen folks. Its far to expensive and Netflix would have to commit to a 22 episode Season. They are better off saving a show that can be stripped for syndication which will be far cheaper.
