Sarah Connor Chronicles Terminated
May 18th, 2009 | By CJ | Category: TTSCCEntertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello has just reported that Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles will be listed as canceled once FOX presents at the upfronts later this morning (he’s listing it as officially canceled now).
While not exactly surprising news, it is disappointing. I’d been hoping for at least a 6-, 9-, or 13-episode order to fill in the time slot and allow the story to conclude until a replacement is ready (it’s rumored that Human Target might be being considered for late-fall or mid-season instead of starting in September).
What now? Well…I’m continuing my fanfic season of scripts. Though about as unofficial as can be, at least it’s continuing this terminator story. It’s not what JF and crew would do, but at least it’s there and on-going.
I’m just hoping that Joss Whedon can snag Summer for the surprisingly renewed Dollhouse—especially now that Amy Acker has another role on Happy Town, which ABC picked up for fall. Tell me you wouldn’t tune in to see Summer in Dollhouse.

Is it 100% that the season 3 isn’t comming back? I mean i cannot find that the main actors have found a new job. Maybe too early or vacation or i didn’t look good enough. But isn’t there any possibility that that Terminator will return on another network and if there is how possible is that? I heard that it has happened before with Jag and Buffy… Altho how much of possibility is it that fox is just playing a sort of a joke for example they want that fans buy a lot of dvds so the show returns(in reality they already plan to do that) is that possible? Maybe I’m just in denial i just cannot belove that a show with this much potential will be cancelled without any network trying to pick it up i mean like the worst ratings were like 4 million?Better spot new season i bet it can easily reach 10…
It’s done. The production company didn’t even opt to seriously shop it around to the other networks…not that it would have helped. Honestly, if Firefly didn’t get picked up, it’s unlikely any other scifi show would.
I don’t think any of the major actors had anything lined up beyond the usual spring hiatus. On that score, yeah, there would be the smidgen of hope, but the reality of the situation is that it’s done. Enjoy whatever goodies come with the Season 2 DVD
, and the season 3 scripts that I’m writing, but outside of that…all I can say that American television doesn’t always make choices to benefit the products they produce.
