I'm not saying that they should have dropped certain plot lines, I was simply replying to whozit's complaint about the show being dark.

I love the show! I hope It last, but it does not sound good! Sad!

I am happy to see one of the writers saying the show is in no immediate danger of being cancelled.

I am digging the show and I have to say the dark premise is spot on since it is a "we're fighting to prevent the end of humanity" theme.

I watch T:TSCC on tv when it airs and catch Chuck on Hulu later in the week.

I think TSCC has an angle because the next Terminator film shows up in eight months, and it would be bad krma to have the TV show canceled before the movie rolls out.

T:TSCC ranked #60 in the ratings with 5.4 million viewers, that's more than Prison Break's 5.3 million viewers, and I've heard no rumors of Prison Break being canceled. (T:TSCC is on before Prison Break) Finishing #60 out of over 110 prime time shows does'nt suck that bad, atleast 60 is far from the bottom.

60 out of 110 isn't very good, either. The big problem is, that it's coming in 4th for it's timeslot, and is 3rd place for it's target demographic.

Another discouraging point, it's currently doing worse than last year's Fox show K-Ville, which was cancelled after half a year.

It's in a death slot, with two other shows that appeal to the same demo (geeks, basically). Maybe the current Fox programmers can grasp that. Normally one positions shows so they are not directly competing with another show that appeals to the same demo (in terms genre preference, not just age.)

This just in: Fox has requested two more scripts (eps 14 and 15) for season 2.

While the fate of the show past production on episode thirteen is still unclear, FOX has given us the go-ahead to write two more additional episodes for this season — fourteen and fifteen.

We are hard at work writing those episodes and await news of a potential pickup for the full “back nine” (additional episodes to complete the season) in the near future. We’re crossing our fingers (and dotting our i’s) that we’ll have more good news to share with you soon…



I'm taking this as a good sign.

I'm thinking that takes them into January, after football and some of the other distractions go away. Gives them a chance to see what the show can do in a fair fight. Although I'm thinking they may have to suspend production for a while if they don't order more shows before the end of November. Anyone know which episodes they have in the can so far?
