How are homeland and walking dead on borrowed time, new seasons have already been sorted. And why do you have fringe on the cancelled list as a short season 5 confirmation is due at any time now
Those four were rubbish and deserved to be cancelled. IM(not very)HO, of course.
Not strictly true. What they do do though is they cancel shows that no one watches.
It was time for House to end - one of the best shows ever during seasons 1-5(particularly 1-3) but the last few seasons were pretty bad.
No Ordinary Family was awful.
I liked Flashforward - was annoyed when it was cancelled.
The top list is the shows cancelled or on borrowed time.
The bottom list is the list of programmes I have left.
I know they haven't been canned yet. And many do have lots of life and a bright future especially Walking Dead & Homeland.
For the record my favourite show on currently is Fringe & I'm praying for a renewal.
Regards to all
Dan.
Terra Nova was awful until the very end. Could have been good with another season, but it served it right really.
The Walking Dead and Homeland are most definitely not on "borrowed time". Both achieved amazing ratings for their respective networks (AMC and Showtime), and have already been renewed for another season.
Concerning Boadwalk Empire, while the ratings might not be huge like The Walking Dead (but then what cable show gets ratings like that?), they are still decent enough ratings for a cable show. Also, the fact that the show is critically acclaimed and awards-worthy, HBO won't be in a hurry to cancel it as they are more interested in quality than ratings unlike the mainstream networks. I think this show will be around for a few years yet.
I have to agree to be honest. The writing was just not up to scratch on Terra Nova, The Event, FlashForward and I would probably also add Alcatraz (though it hasn't been cancelled YET). The writers didn't seem to know what they wanted to achieve with the concepts/central story arcs of those shows or how to approach them, so they ended up feeding the viewers with filler plots a lot of the time. It's a shame really as they all had potential to be great due to their interesting concepts.
Alcatraz is awesome
So therefore, at this time, they do not cancel the best show(s)
Because Fringe=best show on network tv
While I think Alcatraz did have patches where the writing was very good, most of the time I found it a bit underwhelming. There was missing something in the writing IMHO. Maybe with a second season, the writers could improve things by learning from their mistakes and add more scope to the story. But that's just my opinion. I'm glad you like it though - let's hope for your sake and other Alcatraz fans that it does get renewed as I'm never one to celebrate the cancellation of a cult show.
Michael Cerveris who plays September tweeted one better then that
Michael Cerveris @cerveris
just watched ep419...so proud to have been part of maybe the best scifi series EVER @VancityJax @JWFRINGE #Fringe #FRINGEonFOX #fringefans
....September is on Twitter?????
Must.....find.....Observer
Well he is on twitter in our timeline, not sure about other timelines though;)
Family Guy has been brought back from cancellation before so i'd say they ran out of borrowed time a long time ago.
On the subject of MacFarlane shows, both American Dad
and the Cleveland Show will probably get renewed.
Bob's Burgers may get renewed as well-but it all
depends on the ratings.
Its bad enough trying to spot him in the background of an episode
