Ugh, bummer. Not unexpected, but a major bummer.

She should just wait it out 'til that House dude is done playin' politics. Then those two can team up in Kumar part 3. That will hold her over 'til she can get something where she can kick ass again. She should definitely be kickin' ass somewhere. |

Stick a fork in it.
If Dollhouse gets a reprieve I'll be pissed. I like it and all but it's nowhere near as good as this on its (Dollhouse's) best day. |

I'm still not sensing the cancellation axe in the same room with this show. Nearby it, for certain, but given that the axe has NOT fallen yet, my bet is
that a side deal is under discussion with another net.
Don't forget that JAG got the axe on its first network, another picked it up, and it went on to have another five or so extremely successful seasons. |

If you mean like Friday Night Lights has that would certainly be possible - hell Terminator gets slightly better ratings than FNL on the same night.
But does FOX have a cable sister-network they can work a deal with? |

FOX News??!

Fox Reality would be a bad match.
Bachelorette reruns with promos for an avenging winsome chick robot would be fun to see. Fox Business? Also a bad match. Seeing reports about Skynet's profit to earning ratio? Also fun. Speed Channel, one of my favoritest channels ever? Bad match again. A report comparing Lewis Hamilton to a cyborg and Russ Brawn to the guy that initially developed The Turk is the best for which one could hope. FX, baby. FX. They gave us The Shield and are presently rocking out with Damages. I'm hoping they want to challenge SciFi. |

I was just giving you a hard time about what I assume you meant to be "price to earnings ratio."
I am, however, totally on board with the FX idea. Does anyone know how the Terminator ratings compare to other FX shows like Rescue Me and Nip/Tuck? I know they canceled one of my favorite shows - The Riches - but I have no idea what the ratings were for that show either. |

This is from September, it gives us a ballpark idea.
So, if just half of the viewers followed it to cable, it would do pretty darn well. Then again, how much more does it cost to produce? On the other hand, I really like the Fox News idea. They could get Greta VanSusteren to play any number of cyborgs/aliens/creatures and save a ton on makeup.

My vow was that if FOX killed Terminator after this season, I would not watch FOX primetime for one full year.
So yay! More gym time for me on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I was pretty much over American Idol and 24, anyway. |

Post script to the Finale:
If FOX thought cancelling my show might going to help it pull more Friday primtetime viewers, last night's much ballyhooed Prison Break ratings may be a rude awakening. From TVbythenumbers.com: Sorry for the delays in posting this… |

To be fair, PB was on hiatus for 4 months and came back in a new timeslot. Plus the show has already been cancelled, so it doesn't exactly help bring in
new viewers.
I think what this shows more than anything is that Friday nights are a big pile of suck for TV. Any show that FOX puts on Friday nights is going to be in the 3-4 million viewer range. |

Can we settle one lonely question?
The Turk. Did it wind up playing for: A) The Good Guys B) The Bad Guys C) Some Mothefuckering Motherfucker at some point in an inelegantly drawn time/space continuum? |
