Kevin Reilly is on my list.

Terminator Salvation Success Won't Save Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles - Today's News: Our Take | TVGuide.com

Quote:

Terminator had delivered bigger ratings in its original Monday time slot, but after being shuffled to Friday at midseason, its "trend line was not going in the right direction," says Reilly.

So then put it back on Monday's and you'd see the ratings increase, geez.

Quote:

"We make no apologies" for Terminator, says Reilly. "It had a huge launch ... and we gave it a lot of support. We tried, but it's time to move on."

Lots of support like putting it on Friday nights and not really advertising it? Yes, you tried really hard.

Oldrguy · 05-18-2009, 02:54 PM

I call for Keven Reilly to be given the same chance he gave the show...the very minute things don't go as he predicts, he should be fired & never allowed to work in the entertainment industry again!

Starfield_Scribe · 05-18-2009, 04:04 PM

I like your plan, Evan!

gingerly · 05-18-2009, 04:06 PM

Sorry about the cancellation everyone.

I watched season 1 myself but never got around to watching season 2, unfortunately.

Starfield_Scribe · 05-18-2009, 04:23 PM

There's still time

We'd be thrilled to have you

(Btw congrats on the Chuck pick up

)

naturellebella · 05-18-2009, 05:34 PM

Ya, congrats on Chuck! I really like Chuck and I'm glad there's going to be more

especially after the amazing cliffhanger.

Terminator - Sarah Connor Chronicles Blog Archive one last thing from josh friedman.

Quote:

By now most of you have heard the news that T:SCC is cancelled. I received a call earlier today from Peter Roth at Warner Bros. and I appreciate both his personal and professional support throughout this show’s life. I know a lot of you are angry about the cancellation and want to find a place to direct your anger and to that I say do yourself a favor and find a way to move past it. Every network wants a big fat hit, especially one with a brand name behind it, and Fox was/is no different. They supported the show, they supported my vision of the show, and they gave it plenty of time to find an audience.

And what an audience we found: passionate, intelligent, kind of nuts in a good way. My only complaint about the T:SCC fans is that there aren’t ten million of them. But I prefer to be happy for the ones we had instead of lamenting the ones we didn’t.

Good shows are cancelled every year; smart shows, worthy shows, shows which move their viewers to write blogs and have viewing parties and create action figures and bury executives’ email accounts under thousands of messages. I miss Deadwood and The Wire and Arrested Development but thank God that I still have Rescue Me and The Office and a recently renewed Party Down written by ex-T:SCC writer John Enbom.

Bad shows are cancelled, too. And certainly there are those who did not like what we did and had their own vision for what a Terminator TV show should be. It’s easy to look at low ratings or cancellation as “failure” and for those who believe we’ve gone about this all wrong I’m sure today’s news will only serve to confirm a world view that I would never try to change. We’ve written the show as best we can, executed it to the best of our abilities, and sent it out in the world knowing that we worked out asses off to do something that wouldn’t be a waste of anybody’s forty-three minutes.

Thanks to a brave and talented cast, a feature crew working on a TV schedule, and everyone else who I could list but won’t because they know who they are. Mostly I’d like to thank those of you who’ve supported us and fought for us and given up hours of your life to watch our show. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s about. The watching.

Hope we do it again soon.

Josh Friedman

Gah...I hated reading that from Reilly

Quote:

"I think it had a nice little run. It was a good show. It was not an either or [with Dollhouse]. We did see it tailing off a bit [in the ratings]. It had a nice creative core, but, ultimately, we made the bet on Dollhouse, so that's it for [Sarah Connor]... We make no apologies. We gave it a lot of support and some consistent scheduling. We tried and thought it was time to move on."

*sigh You know, its going to sound incredibly mean and bitter and childish and petty..and everything else, of me, and I dont mean any disrespect for people who like Dollhouse, but now part of me really really wants to see that show FAIL. Like, big time.

...Im allowed to feel bitter like this for a day

I am a fan of Dollhouse but after reading what Reilly said I want it to fail as well.
