Sarah Connor Chronicles Ratings in the Tank

they better not get rid of this show cuz that would suck rly bad

what the hell is going on with people! this is a great show and the ratings are down! i can’t believe that a crap show like dancing with stars is beating the chronicles i mean my god! mabey it’s fox’s fault for airing the show on a monday night especially with football at the same time! i bet the ratings for last season were high because it didn’t compete with it! not to mention it started in january fox better not get rid of this awesome show it has so much potential!.

Please do not end this show!!!
To make rating climb you have to MOVE this series from Monday!!! Put it on Friday or some other day, plz ppl! Otherwise you will kill this series and that will be Armageddon-like!!!!!!!!

Faithful Fan of TSCC

Well, this certainly sucks. I hope they at least air the 13 episodes planed for this season.

a

#### Monday Night Football!!!!! #### Dancing with the Stars!!!!! They better not get rid of this show, if they do, blame dumb-### Fox for putting it on Monday. They should swap T:SCC with House or something.
House is a good show that could withstand being put up against Monday Night Football and Dancing with the Stars. If Fox doesn’t do something, they are ####### gay. This show is the best show in the universe. This show kicks ###!!!!! I want to see the full 22 episodes they said. I want to see a 3rd season.

Fu ck Monday Night Football!!!!! Fu ck Dancing with the Stars!!!!! They better not get rid of this show, if they do, blame dumb-a$$ Fox for putting it on Monday. They should swap T:SCC with House or something.
House is a good show that could withstand being put up against Monday Night Football and Dancing with the Stars. If Fox doesn’t do something, they are fu cking gay. This show is the best show in the universe. This show kicks a$$!!!!! I want to see the full 22 episodes they said. I want to see a 3rd season.

You are right Joshy. Fu ck both Monday Night Football and Dancing with the Stars!!!!! All I care about on Monday is T:SCC. Fox should swap T:SCC with Prison Break like last season or do someting. If Fox justs stands by and watch the show decline, I will hate Fox forever!!!!! I LOVE this show, I want the full 22 episodes.

YEA DEFO WE NEED MORE OF T:SCC ON SO WE DO I CNT STAND NOT HAVING IT ON I GUAREENTEE THEY WILL DO A FIREFLY ON US AND GT RID OF IT EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE LOVE IT

Fox knows the value of the Terminator franchise, and with Terminator Salvation coming out next summer they can see the $$ in keeping the show around even if it is not the network’s top ratings show. The Chronicles plays its part in the overall profit of the network. I think there will be another 9 episodes after the first 13. The show may change days and time in January, but I am confident it’s not going to get the plug pulled … It’s too good of a show

please FOX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to see the full 22 episodes and I want to see a 3rd season. Please do something !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

does anybody know how tivo works with ratings? like alot of people i know i watch football on monday and tivo t:scc. to watch after. that still counts right? if not somebody let me know and do the oppisite so term. gets the ratings. i freakin love this show. if fox kills it im callin up derek reese for some plastic explosives and takin out fox headquarters

FOX don’t cancel the show this is the only prime time show I watch before I just watched the history channel and that was it.

They had better not cancel this show. People these days seem to be getting dumber. Television is getting “Dumbed Down” to reality TV shows, and game shows. What ever happened to people actually liking shows with stories, with a deep plot that leaves you on the edge of your seat? Shows like American Idol, Dancing with the stars, Survivor, Deal or no deal, etc., they are ruining Television. They are only feeding the “dumbed down” audience.

Then a great show like Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles comes along, and it gets a bit bumpy ratings due to so many other “popular” shows on at the same time, and they consider canceling it? NO, not again. FOX screwed up when they canceled Firefly, and other great shows that had a lot of potential. If FOX screws this up, so help me I’ll never watch that channel again.

Terminator is a great show, with a great future. If anything, move it to a different time slot so it isn’t competing with Monday night football, Heroes, Dancing with the Stars, etc. Put it on Wed. or Fri. night or something…

TSCC forever!

Damn this sucks! Such a shame that series 1 got record-breaking figures now series 2 has slumped. Maybe FOX did lack of advertising or something??? I really hope we get a full 22 episodes. I’m British and I really don’t get how American shows can start but they’re still making the end of the series… How can they do that??? How do they have time to do CGI??? And it sucks when stuff like this happenes coz if this was a British show the series would have been finished months ago and even if no one watched it thats tough for the station coz they have a full series they have to show! Thats how it should be done! I’m really nots used to hearing bad ratings news coz the only other show I’m a big fan of is the British show Doctor Who and that gets like 12 Million viewers and thats a hell of a lot for a small country. So yeah this news hits me hard! Ouch. Lets just hope we get a full 22 episodes and that Terminator Salvation should re-boot interest in the franchise so that a 3rd series of SCC is commisioned and gets good viewing figures!!!

i totally agree this show is getting hit hard by the stupit ass shows like dancing with the has-beens and monday night crapball this show is an absolutly diamond in the ruff there is no other show like it! by putting it on monday night with all the veteran shows competing for ratings it was bound to take a huge hit in ratings! also by doing this it also helps proof on thing that fox doesn’t know it’s viewers and what they like they should give this great show a chance and switch places with that new dumb ass show fringe i guarantee that ratings will shoot through the roof!!!

Rumors like this can kill a show, because some folks then think “Why keep watching if the show’s going to be canceled anyway?” which then only becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is a problem these days with ALL of the networks, there’s a real lack of respect for the audience anymore. I made the mistake of watching “Reunion” not realizing that Fox hadn’t committed to airing the full story line, only to have the plug pulled less than halfway along. CBS dropped “Jericho” on a season-ending cliffhanger, and it is only due to a tremendous fan response that a shortened 2nd season was aired, which at least brought events to a logical point, but that is the last show on CBS I have watched (I don’t watch ABC or NBC). Soooooo, I for one will stick with TSSC until the bitter end (whenever that may be, not for some time hopefully), but I firmly believe that the network has to alter it’s expectations especially based on what it has stacked the show up against, and in the face of declining viewership INDUSTRY-WIDE (Hmmm, I wonder why?). Will this be the last show I watch on Fox…

I agree with you jose on how they should swap Fringe with T:SCC. One day, I was watching a commercial on Fox how it’s saying how Tuesday is the best day of the week and how it’s getting 26 million viewers. I bet you If Fox swapped T:SCC and Prison Break that airs on Monday with House and Fringe that airs on Tuesday, we probably wouldn’t even be having this conversation on how it’s getting bad ratings. If Fox’s Monday shows swapped with its Tuesday shows, there would probably be even more viewers than before. Fox needs to know that its not the shows story thats whats making the bad ratings, it’s the day. T:SCC is the best show in the entire universe. Fox needs to do something, and it better not be cancelling the show.

I totally agree with you Mark, Fox needs to change the air date of the show. Fox needs to stop being a bunch of pussies and do a little experimenting. They need to start switching some shows around or do something for T:SCC. They should swap Bones with T:SCC. I don’t give a sh it about that show Bones anywa. T:SCC is the newer show and it deserves better than just getting it cancelled.

I agree with you Joshy. I bet you if Bones premerred on Monday 8:00 Pm, that show would have been gone ages ago! I want to see the full 22 episodes of T:SCC. I LOVE T:SCC. T:SCC is the only show I watch, and if Fox cancels it, they are a bunch dumb ass bi tches

it’s not going to do any good complaining about the ratings on monday the only thing to do is to pressure fox to move T:SCC to tuesday or wednesday night preferebly tuesday night any show that has the timeslot that T:SCC has now are bound to suffer less then perfect ratings i for one think it was pretty stupit to put this great show on monday night i mean this series is still brand new and they are putting it up againts monday night football and other shows that are already established and trust me i know by making this move the ratings for T:SCC will rebound as much or more then the first season
by the way fox has to expand their promos for T:SCC to other channels if they want the ratings to increase the only ones i ever see are….well only on FOX!!

Fox needs to move the show to another day, why haven’t they done that yet!!! What the fu ck are they waiting for!!! It’s not the show’s fault, it’s the day they are airing it!!! Change the fu cking airdate already!!!

I totally agree with Mark comment regarding TTSCC. I work at a Hospital and I watch the show. I try very hard to schedule my work shifts on a Monday morning instead. By the time Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles is on I am watching it.

Also I am from Canada and when it comes to tv ratings the United States does not consider Canada to be a strong demographic viewership.
Fox will have to put TTSCC on Tuesday, Wendesday, Saturday or on a Sunday Night for it continue and strive.

i hope this show keeps going for atleast another season
this show is my life!!!
if they do end it they better end it well and not at a stupid end that has no point or is half way through a story. If they do end it i atleast want sarah connor to die (its horrible i know) but shes meant to die anyway atleast if she does and they do kill her off, you know its 100% over and it happened like it should of done.
BUT saying that ending the show will be enough for me to turn off fox tv for good. you never know it could be like family guy, that got cut but it came back better then ever.

Put it on everyday of the week.
Hell, I’ll watch it. I record it and watch it everyday anyway untill the new episode comes out.

I can’t believe they could think of cutting this show off in its prime. I’m another Limey, and we aren’t due the second series until the end of October(sob, sob). However, I’ve been watching all the previews, and reading all the reviews, and series 2 looks AMAZING!!!! The characters are seriously being developed, the plot is getting better and better, how can they even think of stopping this mid-series?!?!?! What will happen to John and Cameron? Does Sarah snuff it? Can Derek get any cuter?!

Don’t FOX understand that T:SCC is the lifeblood for millions of fans! I NEED MY DEKKER FIX!!!! LOL! Seriously, though, I’m stupidly obsessed with the Terminator franchise. When I first heard it was becoming a TV show, I was like ‘oh, heck no’, but it has done nothing but make a damaged franchise (T3, anyone?!?!?) something utterly amazing again.

Blinking stupid TV execs. I will never forgive them if they cut this show.

I will be watching every episode they ever make of this programme. I hope it lasts at least another season.

Come on folks, give T:SCC a chance!

I love this show too. I end up watching it on Hulu.com though. But that is the thing. I dislike the way the studios rely on their ratings system which does not fully capture all of the viewer numbers. I am planning on buying the DVD soon for the first season. I hope they don’t cancel the show.

First off, let me start by saying that I LOVE this show, and I’m following it almost religiously! Monday night, 7PM Central Time is dedicated to watching the show. I think the cast is AMAZING, the acting is EXCELLENT, and the story line so far is nothing less than FANTASTICALLY INTRIGUING.

Now on the not so praising side… In MY opinion, the last episode “The Mousetrap” had to be the most boring T-SCC episode I’ve seen yet. I mean, yes the part where they were tricked, NICE, John escaping NICE, Cameron’s simple statement “I Don’t Swim” perfect. …but I did not like the episode as a whole. All my friends know how distressed I was about it. Perhaps I expected too much, who knows. For me, I think if I was a new viewer tuning in for the first time and it was THAT episode, I would have changed to another channel during commercial break.

I think FOX needs to do a bit more advertising for the show. More commercials, more billboards, get it on cereal boxes if you can! Perhaps a competition to attract new viewers or something….or like mentioned before… just change the day - as much as how disappointed I was in the last episode… I, WE NEED THIS SHOW TO STAY ON THE AIR!!! …a 2 hour special would be awesome too.

I agree with sharon that fox needs to advertize the show alot more i mean how the hell do they expect to get good ratings if theres nothing to promote the show, I was talking to a couple buddies of mine a little while ago and don’t get me wrong they are big T:SCC fans and they didn’t even know that the second season started! seriously fox WHAT THE HELL!! they have to get up off their asses and start doing something!, The fall season for fox has already been a terrible one, One of their new shows was cancelled another one is doing awful(not T:SCC) the one called til;death not to mention that alot of fox viewers are avid football fans so any show put in the slot that T:SCC is in right now was bound to take a huge ratings loss i keep thinking why doesn’t fox move T:SCC to wednesday night at 9pm after bones that would be a huge ratings boost for both shows don’t get me wrong i don’t give a rats furry ass about bones but if it helps keep T:SCC on the air i’m going to support it, Get rid of til’death cause lets face it that show is bombing like crazy that way the 9pm hour could be for T:SCC
and to replace the 8:00 hour on monday they could show reruns of “24″
until the season premiere in november, There would be really bad consequences if fox decided to get rid of the show i think most if not all the T:SCC fans would definitely stop watching fox thats millions of viewers a week 2′nd fox would be responsible for tarnishing the terminator franchise wich could also mean terrible box office numbers for the upcoming t4 movie next summer 3′rd the loss of the show would mean the loss of millions of dollars for fox and the WB the producers of the show and continue the downward slump even faster, T:SCC still has a chance to recover but it won’t get to far if fox doesn’t do something about it, This show is one if not the best on t.v but the lack of promos on commercials, billboards and such and not to mention the extreme competition on monday night it’s not going to get the ratings it deserves the best thing that could happen to the show is if it were moved to wednesday nights at 9pm and fans of this great show i would suggest you write to fox and let them know on how much you love this show and how strong the show would be on wednesday nights after bones. TERMINATOR SARAH CONNER CHRONICLES RULE!!!!!

people are stupid dancing with stars and other gay-ass programs kill off all the good shows like this one and rome and space above and beyond

WE DESERVE OUR NUCLEAR WAR!!!!!!!!

I’ve set up a “Save Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles!” group on Facebook, for those who want to join! Lead the Resistance!

Why don’t the company execs over at Skynet FOX put their heads together and change the day so it’s not opposite monday night football (… a lot of the same audience as SCC) and dancing with the stars.. ugh.

This show is one of the only progams that has real substance and makes you think..(…my mom even LOVES the show haha) and it’s sooo realistic. Fox, don’t shoot yourself in the foot!

Anything we can do to make help the show survive 2 to 3 more seasons

I don’t watch a lot of TV but I must watch T:SCC! Even my wife loves this show and this is not even her genre (She’s more “Gossip Girl”). Everyone I’ve recommended this show to has unanimously loved it… So far I like this show better than this season’s Heroes and Fringe. Fox has to promote this show better. Have Governator guest star or some vets from Firefly or Galactica cameo. Do something please but don’t even hint at cancelling my favorite show of the season(s)!

Actually, I’m not quite sure how much credit I can put in this rumor. Ausillio was single handedly responsible for creating the ratings panic last season when he said that FOX was “panicking over the ratings” and that the show was “very expensive to produce” - which turned out to be false.

Also, the ratings DID go up for last week’s episode despite having to deal with “Heroes” and “Dancing w/ the Stars” and football, and we actually managed to beat out Prison Break (by about a fraction of a point).

But I do agree that this show would do A LOT better if it didn’t have to compete against Football.

FOX would be incredibly stupid to cancel this show when T4 is on the horizon. That would be highly embarrassing for them.

One more thing - a lot of people DVR the show instead of watching it live. The DVR numbers for the Season Premiere should be up tomorrow at tvbythenumbers.com

I’m watching this all the way from Scotland and if they cut the season short i’ll be catching the next flight to FOX HQ to kick some arse.

There are to many critiques palming it down, just flippen shut up, sit down and watch and stop blabbing on about the i doesn’t make sense.

its fiction! who cares!

I’m always skeptical about those “an insider” reports. They almost always proof to be hoaxed. Either way, yes critics piss me off, half of the time they start to blab semi-french, complaining there’s no ‘en face’ angle and that the ‘clou le plotte’ isn’t quite ‘tres bon’. Like Kevin said, it’s fiction! Not an aristocrats’ theater play.

Though, if it is true I’m starting to wonder if Glau is jinxed. Firefly, now TSCC?

do you think they will release all the rest of season 2 episodes if its cancelled ?

i totally agree with sfsdfsd’s logical and reasonable comment, Of course not forgetting that T:SCC has very serious competition it’s bound not to pick up significant ratings from live viewers the fact is that this show is among the best ever made but the fierce struggle for ratings on monday inhibits it from showing it’s true potential i bet alot of people DVR’ed the show cause almost half of fox viewers on monday are avid football fans and the same thing could be said for instance ” alot of people like cbs comedies and have been following it since the start, then get into T:SCC but are real conflicted on what to watch(considering that monday’s are a huge crowded mess) of course they’re going to stick with what they know more and DVR the rest, i’m hoping that our panick over the show is unfounded and like sfsdfsd said mabey Ausillio is making all this up to get attention like last season but right now it’s a wait & see game

No matter how you try to spin things, I don’t think we are going to be getting any more T:SCC episodes, after the 13 air. Monday Night Football is kil ling both T:SCC and Prison Break and Fox knew it from the beginning, but they don’t care. They put them on because they have nothing better and never planned to renew them anyway. They don’t care about the early fall, all they care about is 24 and American Idol. I’m not trying to be negative about the situation. I’m not an anti-T:SCC fan either. I fu cking LOVE this show so fu cking much. I would die to see the full 22 episodes. The truth is that Fox is fu cking gay and they are a bunch of fa ggets who only care about their stupid ass 24 and American Idol.

Ahhhh!!! I can’t believe that… Monday night is a terrible night for it though! I race home after work, and Monday is usually -my- busiest, but I manage to make it just in time. I look so forward to the episodes, there is NO way a bunch of stupid dancers can be better than this series… it’s just too amazing. I know last few comments said the same, but I AGREE! move it from monday, I bet the ratings will grrrroow!

Welcome to Battlestar Galactica. It is absolutely the best show on television, and no one watches it. The same is happening to T:SCC. The fact that networks are still so caught up on ratings is ridiculous anyways. So many people watch the shows online or Tivo it. I don’t get it.

honestly…. hotter t-1000 bot, and move this to weds or thurs. no way the general public will choose this over MNF.

reason: you can watch football in a bar, not chronicles.

I just saw the dvr ratings for T:SCC and they appear to be good it was ranked third most highest in all the networks lets hope that the momentum keeps building throughout the season so fox can order the remaining 9 episodes to complete the season and next fall begin with a third, I seriously hope that fox considers moving T:SCC to wednesday nights considering all the competition it has to go through it’s doing good now imagine how great it would do on wed come on people!! tell your friends and co-workers not to mention family to watch the show not to mention DVR the $hit!! out of that great and epic show!!
Terminator Sarah Conner Chronicles Fan For Life!!!!

P.S Ausillio is an A$$hole!

I mean yeah i watch football but when Monday comes around i am all eyes for T:SCC ! I am a big fan of the show and its the only show i watch on tv !

Whenever someone says, “An insider told me….” I typically raise an eyebrow.

wow…!!! this is just increadible that a series with such great potential would be terminated… prematuraly. who in the heck is in charge, daffy duck?? If this show goes the away I will be extremely disappointed. I don’t watch serial television much, most of the good stuff has already been made. Now I find a show that I like to watch, and they terminate it. I am just dumbfounded!!!

TSCC is the best show on the television. It would be a terrible loss to the world of scifi if it were to be “terminated” without giving it the chance to survive, by putting it into a much better time slot. I never watched a single episode until they released season 1 on dvd. I was so enraptured by it, I watched the entire collection in two evenings. TSCC is a diamond waiting to be discovered by many people that have not had the chance to see it, as yet. If FOX cancells TSCC, it will be a bitter day in the history of television.

Well we can’t beat the system. It’s all about money and people would rather watch Dance with the Stars. As lame as it sound I guess it’s true. TSSC is the pretty much the only reason I watch tv if taken down what’s there to watch. I guess I’m not watching tv for a very long time again.

this season sucks anyway, fox sucks

Well
I think the show is super great
I would die to see all the episodes

now i don’t know about all you people but im gonna speak for us all and tell nico TO SHUTTHE FUK UP WE DNT WANNA HEAR IF U DNT LIKE THIS SHOW OR THIS SEASON WE ALL LOVE WATCHING IT AND REALLI DNT GIVE A FLYING FUK WHAT YOU THINK NICO

thank all n keep up da gd work n the show (love summer glau xxxxx)

We can only hope when the trailers of T4 start showing on television that will renew interest in the series/franchise and keep people watching. Hope that happens soon…as far as I know Kassar and Vajna work on the show and are also working on the new T4 flick, so maybe they can push for some cross-marketing or something of the like to keep this thing alive.

This is extremely uncacceptable. I love this show. I rarely even watch weekly TV anymore because they’re all ‘reality’ shows. The last time I was really interested in a show with intensity and potential on this level was Beast Machines. If you’re not aware of this show, don’t worry about it; not the main topic. If you are familiar with it, you may be able to share my viewpoint. T:SCC is really getting good now especially with the current liquid metal Terminator Weaver and the previw for next week’s episode. This is a high-calibre show and the thought of it getting beaten out by ‘reality’ tv makes me physically ill.

I love the show. Is it possible that another network could pick it up? Maybe HBO or the sci-fi network.

Fox,
DO NOT GET RID OF THIS SHOW. Television has been in a slump for several years and this is the first show to come along with some substance. It is’nt really fair to judge the show’s ratings when it’s competing with MNF. Please try a different time slot and determine it’s worth then. I for one pledge not to watch any other fox television show should this one get cancelled. This is a show that I talk about with many of my friends and family members so I am clearly not the only one watching. Do something, anything to keep the show airing.

Put the TSCC on another day. AND DO NOT KILL T H I S Show-Fox!

Fox Close To Terminating ‘Sarah Connor’

This from an article on SyFy Portal, which can be accessed here:

http://www.syfyportal.com/news425418.html

If TSCC gets dropped I’m done with Fox and done with network TV altogether. “Prison Break” is ridiculous and should never have been brought back for a 4th season; “24″ has been played out as well IMHO and I don’t intend to watch the upcoming movie or the new season that is set to begin in January. As I said in an earlier post, I don’t think “Fringe” has what it takes to go long-term so I have stopped watching it, I’d love to see TSCC get moved to Tuesday night before it’s lost so much of its audience that the move becomes academic. This is the last time I get suckered in to watching a recurring series on network television, the decision process re: what stays and what goes is just too capricious.

The situation is rediculous, mindless crap appeals to the weak intellect. Face it there just arn’t enough intelligent people who watch telveision. The shrewd busnessmen at FOX only understand the quick buck, outside of that there is nothing, but oblivion. This could be the obituary for TSCC.

YEP, CHANNEL AFTER CHANNEL WILL SHOW NOTHING BUT A DESOLATE DESERT OF PROGRAMS THAT OFFER NOTHING BUT A RECURING DULLNESS OF BONEHEADED ENTERTAINMENT, IF IT CAN BE CALLED THAT. ONCE IN A WHILE A PROGRAM COMES ALONG THAT IS THE ANTITHESIS OF ALL THE OTHER STUFF. IT IS SOO GOOD THAT IT IS LIKE A LIGHT BREAKING FORTH IN THE MIST OF DARKNESS. NATURALLY THE MORONS IN CONTROL CAN’T UNDERSTAND IT, AND THEY PROCEED TO DO AWAY WITH IT. TELEVISION IS A PATHETIC MEDIUM WITH NO CLASS OR ENDURING WORKS GENIUS, WITH ONLY A FEW EXCEPTIONS. TSCC IS ONE OF THOSE EXCEPTIONS.

Fox cancels everything that doesnt do good. If it does happen I hope Sci Fi picks it up. This is really a good show.

http://www.entertainmenttoday.net/content/view/705/29/

this article says its dominating it demographic

How could it not? It is the ONLY programme worth watching

The show has depth and breadth beyond anything on television right now. I am a sci-fi junkie, yes, but this show is way beyond robots and humans fighting a war through time. Let me explain:

It’s a show about showing us what life would be like if we were put into impossible situations. It’s about showing us what our teenagers are feeling like when we put the weight of the world upon them. Not literally, but driving your kid to straight A’s to get into an Ivy-league school is a lot of pressure. And it’s about teaching parents that the pressure of doing that is not without consequences. Kids will rebel against authority, naturally, but it’s about socializing a new relationship with our teenagers without alienating them. It’s about how to create trust from dust, and right now the world could use some of that.

It’s about letting go of our children one painful bit at a time to let them grow into what they’re supposed to be…. the only hope for the future. This is very literally true, each of our kids are going to inherit the world from us. Through rivetting storytelling, T:SCC is giving us the faith in ourselves and in our kids to let them remake the world into a better place than when they find it. To the fictional Connors, it’s a literal battle but exciting TV keeps you captivated… smart TV asks you to explore your soul. Sarah Connor Chronicles does both.

For FOX, it’s traditionally been about the money. They’re a business and they’re in it to make the bucks. I can’t blame them for that, but we’re in an evolutionary phase in broadcasting and television. The internet and TIVO is causing the lion’s share of the problem.

We download and record TV and skip the commercials. As a result, those commercials are garnering less revenue for TV stations and air-time viewership is dismal. The only shows that are really catching the numbers are the serial dramas like ‘desperate housewives’ or the live shows such as ‘dancing with the stars’ or football.

So how can FOX and everyone else retain the value of their shows? My first suggestion is to watermark their advertisements in the show itself. Then, no matter how it is recaptured and distributed (TIVO/internet) that advertising is permanent. My second suggestion is to ALSO make full episodes available for download via bitTorrent by selling an unlock code or selling it for direct download. Yes, people will unlock it and redistribute it for free, but for folks like me who cannot stand commercials (or NEED the ability to pause it to deal with kids ) but honestly want to support the production of the show, I will pay 1-2$ to download it and watch it legitemately, commercial free. (except leave in the advertising watermark)

The whole entertainment industry has to belly-up to the internet bar, because the ‘net is not going away. It’s impossible to police and prosecute the downloaders, there’s just way too many of them. Instead, appeal to their sensibilities and give them a legal option of being able to watch the shows we love in a format of our choosing. This is the compromise of the future, and the first network to figure this out cashes in, in a big way.

I have to agree with Shane, I would definitely start shelling out a few bucks per episode to keep this show alive. I can’t believe they’re even thinking of ending this show! I hope that this isn’t turning into a case of first ‘Firefly’ and now ‘TSCC.’ Really Fox? These major companies obviously have to have some understanding of marketing and such, but it seems to me that they’re totally ignoring the kind of fan bases that shows such as ‘TSCC’ can create. Any sci-fi, fantasy or anime geek knows what I’m talking about. We’re a pretty fanatic bunch, and we don’t just stop at watching the show. I could definitely watch this drama over and over again without tiring of it one bit. If Fox would just show a little faith in ‘TSCC’ and actually give it the proper pub
