    So where is the T-SCC season 3????

  2. Igor from Slovakia Says:

    well, you made me very sad now. i really do hope you change your mind after few months and give The Sarah Connor Chronicles another shot.

  3. fanshawe Says:

    Fox,

    You get the prize for the saddest cancellation this year with Terminator. That show deserves better.

    But hey, as long as Fringe is still on there… always great to see a cut/paste show that has absolutely nothing to say get renewed just because it happened to air in a more fortunate time slot.

    Hope you win your computer illiterate target demo with this line-up.

    Finally, thanks for failing to acknowledge all the fan efforts to keep T:SCC alive. It makes it easier to scratch you off my watching list for good. It’s just not worth the annoyance.

  4. Patti Says:

    What’s going on with Maggie Hill? Dead or on the back burner?

  5. Eric Says:

    Well Fox’s fall schedule is out and no TSCC!! I think that was a huge mistake as the movie comes out this week too. TSCC was the only show on fox that i watched. Dollhouse over TSCC– I dont get it– ratings don’t support that kind of thinking. Apparently the fans/ viewer support means nothing. I wrote letters and sent e-mails. (as did my friends as well). Well I guess thats how you guys work so– NO TSCC =NO FOX for me!!!!Way to drop the ball guys.!!

  6. Jonathan Huth Says:

    I still see no TSCC? WHY IS that fox do you hate us or something?

  7. Pheobe Says:

    Yesss!!! DOLLHOUSE IS RENEWED!! AWESOME.

  8. Dave Says:

    I’m disappointed. I watch two FOX shows: Tscc and Doll House. These shows fill a void left by Sci-Fi’s Battlestar. Terminator had good writing, and excellent plot twists. I watched the show, I watched online when I wanted to catch what I missed. It was all good. Doll House was good, but it doesn’t bring me back like the story and writing on TSCC.

    You dumped it, why again?

  9. Mark Says:

    Dropping TSCC and keeping drivel like Dollhouse and American Anal? Stroke of genius FOX!!!

    At least I still have 24 and Fringe but TSCC did fill a void. Maybe SciFi or the CW will pick it up.

  10. DJ Says:

    Dollhouse, thank FOX more more Dollhouse!!!

  11. DJ Says:

    I understand those who wanted Terminator renewed… But grow up and don’t dog other shows that other viewers liked. Terminator failed on it’s own…

  12. Jonathan Huth Says:

    How dare you kill TSCC

    *Angry EYES*

    PUt Hex on you!!!

  13. Aaron Says:

    Not cool about TSCC. I’ve been waiting a long time to pick up where it left off. . . I think it should be brought back with a vengeance. I’m glad Fringe and 24 will be back (Jack could NEVER die). I kind of agree with what Dave said about how TSCC picked up the leftover Battlestar Gallactica people (I’m one of them!). I think it is a mistake.

  14. Shah Says:

    I think Fox might think some time later that tscc should have been renewed.

  15. Nancy Says:

    Sooooo happy that Dollhouse will be back - we love the Dollhouse!! Please rethink TSCC - your key demographics want it back! Fox, please remember that the Nielsen ratings do not traditionally include TSCC’s key demographics: Young males & sci-fi lovers… AND we all love TSCC, Fringe, Dollhouse, 24, etc. Remind your advertisers that your viewers actually eat junk-food & drink lots of calories & are watching TV on Friday nights… AND we want our TSCC back please!

  16. M Says:

    SERIOUSLY T:SCC BEING CANCELLED??? I think that was a HUGE mistake, I think it had more to do with changing the timeslot to Friday night. We always had to DVR it because we were not always home by the time it would start. When it was on Monday’s we would watch it live prior to 24 (so glad it’s back!). Basically from what I read, they are giving Dollhouse a “chance” which is why they are bringing it back. Let’s see how well it does without T:SCC? Not crazy about Dollhouse, but ONLY tried to watch it because it was plugged so much during T:SCC. This is just very disappointing, am a big Terminator movie fan and the series stayed true to the series, which is something that does not always happen.

    Hopefully you will bring it back or some other network will and it will have continued, if not even more success! Remember the Family Guy debacle?

    Seriously, NOT BRINGING BACK T:SCC and putting on THE CLEVELAND SHOW??? WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKNING???

  17. tony Says:

    FOXXXXXX!! Hope you put SIT DOWN SHUT UP on in January - if not earlier!! IT WAS BRILLIANT and you know it!

  18. Natalie G. Says:

    Come on, I really wanted to see what happens in season 3 of T:SCC. This was one of your best shows and you just let it go!? Boo! : (

  19. Sylvie Says:

    I don’t understand how fox airs mindless trash like American Idol and fox news but decides to cancel the best show of three they do have. What are you all thinking???

  20. Ashley Says:

    Thank god you kept dollhouse running.. I’ve been missing the days since Buffy. Angel and Charmed were over…. and now this brings back me actually looking forward to new episodes and such… I may be an uber geek for liking this types of shows.. but they entertain and are suspenseful. you get drawn in and thats what i like about it..

    But..where oh where is sit down, shut up?

  21. ev Says:

    I’ve been waiting for TSCC to come back on, guess nothing to watch on FOX.

  22. jessie geyser Says:

    Can’t wait for January!! I’ll be watching MONDAY, TUESDAY, WED….will definitely tune out on Sundays…the cartoons are really lame.

  23. Nick Says:

    People, quit the ranting about TSCC, the fact of the matter is, the few of you that responded here, are very small percentage of the vast minority of TSCC viewers. We have to accept the fact that this is how networks run, not every show gets to run its course, especially not in its own way like Seinfeld or BSG.

    The basic formula that networks operate from are this:

    Broadcast Shows = Commercials, Commercials = Sponsorship money for the network

    Therefore:

    Hit Shows (24, House, Fringe, Bones, etc.) = Prime Commercial Slots = Prime Money

    It the follows that:

    Hardly Watched Shows (TSCC, Arrested Development) = Cheap Commercial Slots = Little Money

    Everyone has to get paid that puts these shows on the air, and that money doesn’t come from our monthly cable or satellite bills.

  24. Nick Says:

    One final thing, “Best show” is very subjective to the viewers. Networks follow Neilsen ratings.

    TSCC didn’t even make the top listings for Fox the last week. Just give it up, you will have the DVD’s to reminisce over.

  25. nj Says:

    The big money slots should still allow for shows to have a good ending that doesn’t suck. They could at least end the series right and not bow down to the corp. pricks. I close out movie or a mini to get John to fix the future he created when he left the time line and I really wanted to see some interaction between father and son.

    With the movie out canceling is a mistake. The movie should help the rating. I am sooooo tired of networks not giving a flip what the FeW public need just to be happier with their company. I know what I do doesn’t matter. But I am done with fox.. I used to love this network now to they are just sell outs.

    GOODBYE FOX!!!

  26. wevan Says:

    Can’t wait for January!

  27. TJ Says:

    I’m not one of these whiny little twits who want to take their toys and go home. I will still be watching quite a bit of fox, because those shows I like are still there. I do hope that the Sarah Connor Chronicles may get a reprieve at some point, perhaps after the latest movie hits DVD. Also, I’ve seen word that Fox may be interested in My Name Is Earl after those NBC fools have cancelled it. I would love to see this show continue, particularly since the latest season ended with a cliffhanger. All good shows deserve their full run and to wrap up properly.

  28. ringanybells Says:

    I’m really glad Fox didn’t make a horrible mistake and cut Joss of at the knees. His fans are die hard loyal kind of people, willing to follow him just about anywhere - to the movie theater, to new networks, to comics, to the internet. As long as you give him an outlet, we will follow. Somehow, when Joss is involved, magic happens. Just check his track record. Good Job Fox!
    Here’s hoping that without T:SCC on her plate, Summer will return to the Joss-verse.

  29. Bob JOhnson Says:

    Human Target looks like a good program. You need an external asset to work with non-white clients. The world is a changin. Trade someone in and out.

  30. Vanessa Says:

    THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! i love you for bringing back lie to me. I started watching halfway through the first season and got hooked. It’s the only show on fox that i make sure not to miss. it’s such a great show. I hope others start watching it too so it never gets cancelled…..sorry TSCC fans, but better TSCC than lie to me :)

  31. DeadCell Says:

    Where is Terminator? I guess that is the end of FOX for me (and likely the end of television as a whole. After Lost, I don’t think I will ever invest my time in a series again. This looks like the end of intelligent, well-written, plot driven shows. Reality shows and half hour comedies are all that is left).

  32. Kathy Says:

    Hope you pick up “Mental.” Thoroughly enjoyable. Should know. Worked in mental health as RN for 20 yrs.

  33. Kathy Says:

    Hope ypu pick up “Mental.” Thoroughly enjoyable. Should know. Worked in mental health as RN in busy ER for 20 yrs.

  34. Bob Says:

    yeah whatever happening to futurma???
    i loved that show …someone bring it back

  35. PreMedZombie Says:

    Mental is a fantastic concept but the actors and actress’ are so flat. It seems like a slag off of House but with psyche patients. I do enjoy the cases though. I work in a psych facility and it is very interesting to see the point of view of the patient. Like I said the concept is phenomenal but the cast just brings it down. I watched the first and second episodes but I wont make an effort to watch the rest.

    Thanks for losing the Terminator…. seriously

    Lie to me is AMAZING! Hopefully it’ll last for years to come.

    Animation Sunday is by far the best. I miss Sit Down and Shut Up. It’s really nice to watch a show that allows you to use as little brain power as possible. There are enough shows that stress America’s nerves farther than they’re stretched in real life.

  36. Andre Says:

    Sooooo happy that Dollhouse has been renewed! I love you Whedon!!!!

  37. dq Says:

    I love the dollhouse it is my favorite show!

    Fox& hulu rock

  38. josiah Says:

    another firefly effect here.
    renew TSSC.
    im not asking.

  39. Andre Says:

    NO show in the world can top Dollhouse it is the best show EVER

  40. carlos Says:

    saddest cancellation this year with Terminator. That show deserves better concept is phenomenal but the cast just brings it up . I watched the first and second episodes but I wont make an effort to fall in love to more shows so you can cancel, On the other hand doll house is for pu ssyysI guess this the end of FOX for me

  41. Ashlee Says:

    I am so excited that Dollhouse is back for another season!!! It is an amazing show. You really don’t see such creative, well written shows that often; they are rare and far apart. I can’t wait to see what happens next! Also, TSCC fans, sorry that it got canceled, I know it sucks when something you like is canceled but you don’t have to put down other shows that they keep just b/c of it.

  42. matt Says:

    fox has a proven track record for cancelling good shows for no good reason

    firefly
    futurama
    titus
    family guy
    and now t:tscc

    i am sure there are many others that diserved longer lives, these are just the worst i can remember from this retarded station.

    will i keep watching fox shows? yes some of them, will i watch them on the fox network? nope, bootlegged onto the internet ftw, screw you are your ratings fox.
