I hate to burst everyone's bubble on TSCC, but I've been following this for a few weeks now. And since they just shut down production....

Personally I don't get why TSCC is in the 8pm slot, it's way too violent for that hour (it's making Prison Break look tame, which is a feat) and should take a 9pm slot. Also, I heard the new FOX exec is from NBC, the same guy that has coddled a few low rated shows until they picked up speed and found some success (The Office, which just had it's own CON not too long ago). So all of this talk of axing...... I dunno....

T:TSCC finished 4th in it's time slot last week, Chuck is'nt doing much better. What FOX cares alot about is the 18 - 49 demo.

If the rest of the 18-49 demo are anything like me, they're moving to the internet to watch TV shows so viewing can be scheduled around life instead of life scheduled around viewing. It's more convenient that way without the hassle of setting a timer to record. I hardly ever watch live TV anymore, especially around prime time. Someone needs to tell Neilson to take internet viewing into count... Scratch that. I'll be that "someone" and tell them. But, I fear that the networks will still be cancel-happy because you have less advertising online. Puhh!!

Fox moving the schedule around terminates viewers. Web watching is perhaps 50%, when they bother to post episodes online.

BTW, in my 45 years, I've never been surveyed what I watch. So who is filling out these surveys?

Are they now only using digital cable statistics, with no way of knowing if a human is actually in front of the TV?

As for TTSCC, darkness is okay when balanced with humor, as Joss likes to say. But TTSCC has no humor. Or sex. Or nudity. OD on adrenaline, subclinical level of natural opiates = bum trip.

I watched Sarah on FOX.COM. But if all the programs are equally hurting in the rateings then it all balances. Give them a few episodes and people will drift back. I'm not worried. These are good shows and will prove themselves worthy. One thing that does cause some of this is that there is not one grand week where they all primier. These shows are being brought back on different weeks so they lose the impact of a starting a new season with a bang. I am still waiting for "Life on Mars". There are other shows I still have heard nothing about. So it just needs time. I'm telling people about "Fringe" so I hope they get hooked. I know I am.

The problem with this show is that there's nothing to it.

Nothing interesting happens: Paranoia, flee, fight. Lather, rinse, repeat.

The story isn't actually going anywhere, none of the characters are compelling or sympathetic, and there is no plot other than to Keep John Connor Alive. Not to mention, you can only smash so many of the wrong computers before the whole "find and destroy SkyNet" becomes a bit of a joke. And I really don't care about "Growing Up Connor", so if they continue with the boo hoo teen angst bullshit, the show is going to cancel itself.

The only semi-interesting character is Summer's, and even then, watching her be an emotionless drone who says or does a few untinentionally quirky or funny things week after week gets a bit mundane. Last week's episode was, so far, the only episode where something new and interesting happens to give any of the characters a little depth. Unfortunately, last week's episode may have happened too late.

For now, Summer Glau is the only reason I watch the show. If she weren't in it, I wouldn't bother.

I agree. I find the show boring, and I only watch because of Summer...and I'm not sure that's enough anymore.
