I really did wonder if the Bermuda Triangle had a rift that went to the badlands...

I stopped watching after the 1st episode. Not because it wasn't interesting,but because it was on Fox and I didn't think they would stick with it.
Seems to be the only thing they will invest in is football, idol and cartoons.

I couldn't get into it. I didn't like the characters or the actors or, most importantly, the writing.

Funny: TVtropes has a term for that; it's called "The Firefly Effect." ( http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFireflyEffect)

I never watched Terra Nova. I just wasn't interested and didn't have a lot of extra time.

What reason had proved best ceased to look absurd to the eye, which shows how idle it is to think anything ridiculous except what is wrong.

I thought Terra Nova was a nice show, fun for a Mon. night. That's too bad its canceled.

By the 2nd or 3rd episode I knew it wouldn't make it very far but I persisted even though I didn't know why. I think I got to about episode 5 or 6 before I quit.
Far too many cliches and they were doing episodes that normally get used as filler episodes when the show has ran for several seasons, not in the first season. The characters were bland, uninteresting and perfectly fit a cookie cutter mould that had been used a hundred times before it.

It didn't deserve to continue, and certainly didn't live up to the hype that surrounded it.

I have to agree with Chrisisall on this one.

Id say this was pretty evitable...

Huge budget, low ratings, very little viewer loyalty, critically derided - it had cancellation written all over it from episode 2.

Besides, on TV, "Produced by Steven Speilberg" has meant "Cancelled by Season 2 at best" for about 3 decades now. ER being about the only exception to this rule (okay, Seaquest got a retooled 3rd season no one watched).

I watched the 3rd season of Seaquest...
But a rating of "1" wasn't good enough to keep it from being cancelled.
