i dont understand why out of all the science fiction shows on fox they would choose the two worst to stay on. yes joss is a great creator, but that doesnt mean the dollhouse garbage that is being pumped out right now is going to continue having good ratings. i am a loyal fan of whedon and i gave dollhouse 10 episodes to be worth watching, thats right i have 2 episodes left of the season and i will not watch because it is garbage.
terminator on the other hand i can agree had its ups and downs every once in a while but is making jon connor a character that we actually care about and the last 4 episodes of the season were incredible even though they were only slightly more intense than the rest of the series.
i have been trying to deal with this for the past week, and i dont understand why they would pick up and leave a great story like terminator, you dont think there are terminator fans what about the $67,200,000 domestic that terminator salvation just made in the last couple of days. if anything more people would have been looking to watch the amazing show after a big time movie release.
who ever is running fox is crazy. give them one or two seasons to wrap up, do the right thing.

It’s pretty surprising that dollhouse was kept and terminator was axed. At least they kept one of them. Too bad it it is in the SAME lame timeslot, and without the terminator lead-in I doubt it will last much longer.

They never should have moved Terminator to Fridays. Idiots.

Why would Josh Friedman not want to shop it around. This has happened before where another network picks up a show.

Keeping Dollhouse is a joke.

Don’t be fooled with the cost issue on TSCC, that ia poor excuse and is not valid.

Someone should step up to the plate here wether it be Fox or some other Network.

Keep it alive !!!!

@Laura

I don’t hate TSCC and stupid to think FOX hated it. They paid for it LOL.

If Fridays are so bad can you explain X-Files and to further demonstrate the low interest in TSCC, Thomas Dekker’s thank you video, with a Front Page spot on the Terminator Wiki page has only gotten 32,000 views in a week, which is pathetically low.

TSCC has a dedicated, loyal, smart and well organized fan base. It is also a small one and yes, 3.6 Million in broadcast viewership is very small.

Lanie Grace hates Terminator as much as Fox apparently. Just because people have known it was getting cancelled for months doesn’t mean they can’t vent about it here. Isn’t that the point of commentary, to express your opinions, in this case about disappointments like Fox’s programming choices?

And no, putting Terminator on Fridays is not giving it a chance, Kevin Reilly.

Josh Friedman has pretty much confirmed that TSCC is dead in all respects. It isn’t going anywhere else and he clearly stated that if FOX didn’t do it, it wasn’t happening in any form.

WB has also confirmed that they are not shopping it around anywhere else.

Shows over.

FOX is showing signs of poor leadership. First, they failed to correct the mistake of moving to show to Friday. Then they failed to take the large advertising budget and put some of that into special effects, then they failed to recognize that Terminator will be a staple performer for the future. Or perhaps they just realize that they don’t know how to market the show, which is maybe even worse for the network. It may cost a little more, but if you start putting out shows based strictly on cost, people will soon notice the quality decline and flee from FOX programming. If it weren’t for House, I would already be gone, and that show is even more inconsistent than Terminator was. The good news is that another network is going to take a big chunk of the market from FOX as a result of the poor decision, and FOX will see its very own Brett Favre revenge drama unfold. Whoever ends up with the show should put it up against FOX’s Monday lineup and then watch the dominoes fall.

If the show conflicts with the movies it should be pulled, that really makes me mad if it does.

I cant wait for the movie! I never go to the theater for any movie (I’m blessed to have a great set up at home), but I don’t think I can wait for this one to come out on Blu, so to the theater I go! I haven’t done that for years.

I don’t know why this is such a shock to people!

This had been a foregone conclusion for months and has been reported by several major websites even longer.

The reason it is is “Official” now is because WB/FOX had a big budget movie to protect. People shouldn’t take this personally, it was sound business.
