Sarah Connor Terminated. T:SCC cancelled by FOX.
The Friday Night Death sentence is still in effect. First Firefly. FOX should stick with cartoons, and give up on Science Fiction.:thumbsdown:

It happened April 10th, but nobody posted, so I belatedly did.

The ratings numbers are in the toilet and that’s including the previous week “The Last Voyage of the Jimmy Carter” which was a superb episode but had 2-3 million viewers depending on which angle you analize the ratings and who you get them from. It’s not that TSCC doesn’t have the viewers. If you added in DVR, TiVO, and Hulu then the true viewership approaches an estimated 7 to 10 million viewers which is rockin’ for a new series. The problem is the only thing that counts is the broadcast on Friday nights. Nothing else earns advertising revenue. The bottom line IS the bottom line.

1. Thanks for posting.
:cry: What a rotten thing to do. I really enjoy the series, it had so much going for it. It's no use signing petitions to fox. I remember the drive for Firefly and what good that did. They can care less. Perhaps a movie will be made of this period in John Connor's life. What a shame.

3. I hate to say it, but I called this about two months ago

No series survies a move to the 8:00PM Friday slot unles it's already the biggest series on television.

The first indication that Fox intended to kill it was when the made the move in relative silence. I didn't find out about the new slot until the third week that it was there, and that was only by accident.

Add this to the list of s/f shows that Fox has killed by failing to support them.
