NBC has done it again. They’ve killed another show that I enjoy.
According to SciFi Wire, My Own Worst Enemy will die after it’s 9th episode. I can’t say I’m surprised, as the show wasn’t anything great. However it is better than a lot of the crap that’s on the NBC networks (including SciFi).
I hate you NBC.
There was quite a bit of news concerning Stargate this week.
First, Stargate: Atlantis has been canceled. Personally, I think this is long overdue as I expected the show to die in the first season. But, it proved me wrong. However, while the show has been canceled, it is not finished with. The series/season will end with a cliffhanger, and next year a straight to SciFi Channel movie will be released (pdf).
While the Stargate: SG-1 movies have done well, I don’t think I’ve seen any fan reviews that actually thought they were spectacular. And those were straight-to-DVD. How will SGA do with a direct to TV movie?? Let’s just say that the SciFi Channel doesn’t have the best reviews when it comes to their original movies. Though, I’ll admit, every once in a while something good will come along (e.g. Battlestar’s Razer).
Additionally, the next Stargate series has been officially announced. Stargate: Universe – which we’ve all known for a while was coming – sounds like it will be something a bit more like Star Trek.
SciFi Wire is reporting that CBS has canceled the vampire drama Moonlight. I should have expected this, as it was another show I enjoyed, which is usually a good sign that a show will be canceled.
Other canceled shows that I enjoyed: Jericho, Bionic Woman, Journeyman, The Black Donnelly’s, The War At Home.
Aww nuts (saw that one coming, eh?). According to SciFi Wire, CBS has once again canceled Jericho. According to the post, Tuesday’s episode won’t entirely close the door for Jericho, but it also won’t be a real cliffhanger. It’s still possible that the show could get picked up by a cable network (SciFi please????).
According to SciFi Wire, Bionic Woman has been canceled by the network. The news comes from David Eick one of the show’s executive producers. No official announcement has been made by the network at this time.
Last night way probably the last episode of Journeyman. Previous reports indicated that due to the current WGA strike and the show’s low ratings, that it probably wouldn’t be picked back up. The show was a bit slow to start, but I enjoyed watching it, and I thought it got better as the show went on.
That’s ok, I’m getting use to the networks canceling shows that I enjoy.
