Terminated

I guess it's now official... Sarah Conner Chronicles is over. Fox announced their line up for the 2009-2010 season and this is not on their schedule at all. What a bummer... Think it was a bit premature of them to cancel a show with so much potential. Especially when they have a big summer blockbuster of a movie coming out this week.

They could have given it a 13 episode run. Dollhouse got picked up for a 13 episode 2nd season. Even Heroes and Chuck got renewed by NBC for the same number of episodes.

Goodbye Foster's and Friends.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is coming to an end. The last 5 episodes air later today, right after the Foster's marathon. Just like many other popular cartoon series that have aired on Cartoon Network that have ended while they were still popular, like... Teen Titans, JLU, Dexter's Lab, Power Puff Girls, Samurai Jack, Kids Next Door. I missed the past few season's episodes, so I hope they put seasons 3-6 on DVD.

I'm going to miss seeing Foster's, but I can't wait for Total Drama Action and Stoked to air. Hoping that there will be a 4th season of 6teen too, but as far as I know that ended after the 3rd season in 2008 on Canadian TV.

Canceled? Maybe...

Is Dollhouse and Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles canceled? It's being rumored that Dollhouse has already been and Sarah Conner Chronicles might not be back for a 3rd season (2nd season just recently finished).

This would make this the 2nd series that Joss Whedon has done that was not as successful as the Buffy series. I don't think it was doing well in the ratings too. Only watched a couple of episodes of Dollhouse and thought that it was pretty good. But I wasn't hooked on it like when his Firefly series aired. A series based on his Fray comic series could work... or not... maybe?

As for Sarah Conner Chronicles... it doesn't quite make sense to kill a series that seemed to be doing okay in the ratings and quite popular. Plus with the new movie coming out soon, you would think that Warner Bros. would be able to market the tv series around that. Think this has a better chance at returning for another season than Dollhouse.

Without these two shows it makes Fox's Sci-Fi night dead... maybe the SciFi network (or is that Syfy now) will pick them up. That seems to be the place that all these failed sci-fi-type shows go to a some point: Threshold, Firefly, Dark Angel, Invasion, Jericho, Moonlight, Jake 2.0, Wolf Lake, Tru Calling...
