    I'm not gonna begrudge Fox for canceling shit I like, like Wonderfalls

    Because, I mean, it's a show about a girl who talks to inanimate objects that give her advice to correct people's lives

    Who the hell else was gonna do that show? No other network, for sure. Maybe a premium channel.

    Anyway, for those who don't watch Arrested Development, that episode had the narrator saying things like "Please tell your friends about this show" and the characters making off-hand references about having their business bought out by the "Homebuilder's Organization" (HBO) and then saying it was "Showtime! We should put on a show for a fundraiser." It's also brought up between a couple characters that other people "don't see us as relatable"

    And then the episode ends with this:
    Michael: "Well, um, I was going to say that you don't know who my father really is and that what has happened to us is a great injustice, that we were never really given a fair chance. But that's not the truth. We've been given plenty of chances. And maybe the Bluths just aren't worth saving, maybe we're not that likable, you know. We're very self-centered. And my father may be the worst of us. Me, too. You know, I seem to... I threaten people who I don't feel support me. He poisons them. Anyway, here's my advice to you. Go ahead and take yourself a goody bag and get out of here while you can."

    That's a nice little summation and a pretty excellent attitude to have from the show's creator. Also a smart way to not burn bridges.

    That actually looks pretty good. And it's on Fox, so I'm guessing it'll be canceled after 13 episodes.
    Fringe lasted 100 episodes, dogg.

    Barely.
    but fox canceled firefly and futurama! they never give sci fi shows a chance!!!!

    Fox has cancelled plenty of sci-fi shows.

    It's not sci fi, but I'm still a little bitter that they never even aired the pilot for Locke and Key.

    It seems like people get all upset and pissy when any show gets cancelled

    Something like Firefly where the network actively contributed to why it got poor ratings, sure

    but I've seen shit like "Oh this show only got 3 seasons what the fuck"

    that's like, 60 episodes!

    That's a lot of episodes!

    I am more than happy if a show I like goes on that long. Not everything can last for 12 seasons.

    How is that barely

    it got 5 goddamn seasons

    an hour long sci-fi drama about alternate realities and time travel and insane bullshit getting 5 seasons is a pretty cool thing and Fox should be given credit where it is due

    I'm not saying Fox shouldn't get credit for doing that but it wasn't a smooth ride for Fringe. It got very close to being cancelled last season.

    How many episodes did Birds of Prey last?

    Birds of Prey sucked. It wasted a fantastic concept. With SHIELD it looks like an actually good show.

    Also, Pushing Daisies got shit for ratings, which is a fucking shame for how much effort and crazy creativity went into it.

    It just wasn't a hit, despite how fantastic it was.

    So it almost only got four seasons

    That is still a perfectly healthy and lengthy run
  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Chareth Cutestory Lawyer of the SeaRegistered User regular
    Well, that was ABC, not Fox, to be fair

    Also it really seemed like they did their part, I remember Pushing Daisies getting a huge advertising push before it first aired

    Oh, man.

    It's the cop show we have been promised forever.

    "He's a loose cannon human detective. His partner's a robot. Can they work together, WITH THE FATE OF THE CITY AT STAKE?"

    All my experience with sci-fi in sitcoms has promised me that this show will be one of the most popular programs in THE FUTURE.

    And we are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.

    Holy shit and one of them is white and one of them is black
    This thing is the total package

    You and @Blankzilla are right, I didn't even recognize that guy as Beast. His hair looks really different. Maybe I just need to watch First Class again.

    True enough.

    And, to be fair, they made sure the writers knew it was going to end before it was originally intended to, so they had time to wrap up the story, even if they weren't able to do everything they wanted with the show.

    I remember catching the last few episodes on Netflix, and how each one I just kind of dreaded how, once I reached the end of season 2, there would be no more episodes, forever. :(

    Postin this here mostly because it is a neat high concept sci-fi thang. Only comic book connection is Karl Urban playing another Future Cop.

    Looks pretty damn cool

    That looks amazing.

    I guess I'll actually try to catch that when it airs.

    I am a sucker for fancy holo-tech. Oh also a robot buddy cop show that questions what humanity really is and whether it can exist within non-humans.

    But man those holograms.

    I think people are both right here. Fox does cancel a lot of Sci-Fi series, but they also take chances by putting on more Sci-Fi series than other networks do. If it's your favorite series, you'd probably notice it more than the others that weren't cancelled.

    I liked Smallville well enough, when it was new and was still a monster of the week type show.

    Then it cranked up the teen drama and went up its own butt, and I tuned out.

    I remember @Antimatter and I thinking there is a lot of potential in an Asimov film adaptation with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Elijah Bailey and Ryan Gosling as R. Daneel Olivaw.
