One other thing, it is perfectly okay to hate FOX for canceling TSCC. Trust me, you have a lot of sympathy on that score from everyone here.

But it is totally different when you seemingly ignore important facts. You claim "TSCC was saving FOX." I'm not sure how you can claim that when the ratings were so low. True, they were higher on Mondays, but they dropped when it was moved to Friday and it continued to drop. There is no way to know how it would have done if they had kept it on Mondays, since it already had a lot of stiff competition - Chuck, The Big Bang Theory, House, Dancing with the Stars, Gossip Girl.

As much as I miss Firefly, I understand why FOX didn't think 4 million viewers was enough for a show that cost more than $2 million per episode. And TSCC's ratings were even lower than that.

Mediocre! Mediocre!? How the hell do you extrapelate that course, it was not Mediocre, TSCC was the best thing FOX had, and because it took viewers away from there other "Reality", hah! relity my arse!, shows they decided to kill it off. TSCC was saving FOX, just like FIREFLY, and DARK ANGEL, and how do they repay it, KILL IT FRAKING OFF! It was not Mediocre by a long shot, it was quite possibly the best friday night show, is that, Mediocre, NO!

MSA was not calling TSCC mediocre, she was referring to the way you misspelled the word in your thread title.

Ihhh... Personally, *I* thought Terminator was mediocre. 'Course, I thought Dollhouse was pretty mediocre, too. If I can only have one, I'll take the one with Joss behind it...

TSCC was not mediocre.
It has 7.7 /10 rating on IMDB /rated by 3300+ people), i guess this is not MEDIOCRE result.

Extrapolated to a grading curve, that's 77 out of 100 - a solid C. In other words, very average. Mediocre.

You like it. I get that. You're allowed to. In your opinion, it's great TV. In my opinion, it's mediocre. But hey, according to viewers and ratings, we're both screwed, because American "Idle" is apparently the best thing ever.

Depending on your point of view:))))

Mediocre is for me something like 40-60 from 100 :))

77 is above average and TSCC was above average.

If i remind myself SyFy Knights of Bloodsteel or tons of other shows....i will rate TSCC even better.

I'm not sure exactly how I would rate TSCC, but I don't think it was mediocre either. A bit rambling at times, perhaps misdirected at others, but overall I thought it was better than Dollhouse. The main reason Joss got the pickup over Josh (Friedman) was that Dollhouse is produced by 20th Century FOX, a sister company to the network, while TSCC was produced by Warner Brothers.

20th was able to offer more financial concessions than Warners was able or willing to do. If the production companies had been reversed I bet it would be Season 3 of TSCC we would be looking forward to in the fall.

Mentioning Warner Bros., how the hell can FOX turn them down for that! I mean look the WB has produced great shows like, SUPERNATURAL, if FOX can't be with a company that makes that good a show, they don't deserve to be on, The CW (WB) has had it on since it's inception, and it stars a DA, alumn. Jensen Ackles, "Alec' in DA. And gy the way, aanyone who says TSCC sucks, is a Grey, a human traitor, a human working for skynet, they want skynet to win, and they hate John C., John H., Sarah C., and Cameron.
