Spielberg's TV series Terra Nova Series coming this fall

[moyer777]

I just heard that Fox canceled Terra Nova, but it may move to a different network.

Fox cancels everything. I heard they had the rights to the end of the world on 12/21/12, but decided to just cancel it... :)

It was as if tens of voices cried out in anguish and then was suddenly silenced...

Well, I enjoyed it. Too bad.

Pretty much expected.  Just when it was getting more interesting too.

Yes, it took a while to get going but once I got into it I was one of the few who seemed to enjoy it. At least it got a full season and managed to close down some of the story threads (while opening some other really huge ones!).

I kind of thought that it was going to get cancelled.  Oh well.  That's what they do at Fox.

I'd actually say Fox gave this show a decent chance (for them), at the end of the day it just isn't a very compelling series (in my opinion at least).

Wow, actually a GOOD one Tim! :)

Just to be clear, this is probably the highest rated series that will be canceled this season.  It averaged 10 million viewers per episode (a number most networks and shows would love to have).  While I feel the show got off to a rocky start, I think it greatly improved and found focus.  Who knows - maybe another network will actually pick it up.

But still, Tim got off a good one! :) Finally!! :)

So....that raises the question of why it wasn't good enough for renewal.  If it was getting so many views per episode, why did it still get cancelled?  Does that mean its just the whims of Fox?  I may not like Terra Nova, but if that many views isn't enough, what is?

And @Al, yeah, I can do a good one once in a while hehe.

Sorry to hear that it got canceled, like others noted it really picked up as the season went along, and the season finale left with some really interesting questions and places to go for a second season. I would be surprised if anyone else picked it up given how expensive it is, but guess there is always a chance. Not sure if this also means curtains for Fringe and Alcatraz, or if it improves their odds at renewal.

One of the comments in some of the articles is that "the powers that be" at Fox were not really behind the series.  Much of the time keeping a series on air isn't just about the ratings.  I can think of several lower rated series that did manage to survive cancellation because the networks liked them.  "30 Rock" is a good example.  I like the show a lot, but the ratings have never been great but NBC suits like the show.  In the end it isn't ever just about ratings.
