I did not watch Terra Nova this year simply because I knew the show would be canceled and I am proud of my decision. Plus, if it was a hit I could go back and watch it on DVD or On Demand so why bother. It is that kind of thinking that gets shows canceled. The show looked good but I heard that test audiences had hated it and they kept making changes to the show and kept delaying it and that is never a good sign. If you are a fan of the show, there will be no second season on Fox, but maybe some network will be willing to pick up the tab and move it. Now, I will probably go watch the season and love it and come on here and rant about how good shows are always taken off the air.
The concept was interesting but it never got real good for me. The only thing I liked about it was it was a prime time show we could watch with our 8-year-old. He will be seriously bummer if I tell him. It has been on hiatus so long, I might not mention it.
ReplyDeleteI liked Terra Nova it started off slow and for only 13 episodes it had a few filler episodes. That should only happen when there is a 22 or 24 episode season. The trade for 13 hours is your supposed to get 13 GREAT hours.
ReplyDeleteIt did get much better toward the end. I was hoping they would give it another season to stay in bed with Steven Speilberg. It made Fox money, just not enough money and the production costs were pretty high with the CGI. Which was kinda crappy at times.
20th Century is shopping it around. Would make a good fit on cable and could make it more adult.
Kinda bummed - the kids really enjoyed this one and it was a treat to watch on the weekends (tivo). Th special fX weren't too bad either!
ReplyDeletei could never get into it. something was off.
ReplyDeleteI liked it - agreed started off slow but did pick up. Hopefully another network will pick it up.
ReplyDeleteI liked the premise, but the acting and the writing were terrible. The family was one big cliche. You might get away with those types of characters in a two hour movie, but not an ongoing TV show. Other TV writers have set the bar too high.
ReplyDeleteSo sad! I loved this show! And Jason Mara is so freakin hot.
ReplyDeleteMs Cool & others, I completely agree! It wasn't that great, but it was a show my 11-year-old daughter and I could watch together! There are VERY few shows on prime time that are appropriate for that age group! Argh, I don't want to tell her it's not coming back :-(
ReplyDeleteloved it, and was good family show!1 This gets cancelled, and the other crap on tv doesnt? Yeah, Real Housewives, I'm looking at you!
ReplyDeleteI loved the concept initially, however the show really lost me when it moved into Dawson's Creek territory instead of maintaining the sci-fi aspect.
ReplyDeleteI honestly expected better out of Speilberg.
Decent show, could have been great but needed to stick with sci fi.
ReplyDeleteNow bring back Firefly please! yes, i just outer myself as a total sic fi geek. :)
I enjoyed it. It needed better writing and some patience from Fox. But, of course, this is Fox we're talking about.
ReplyDeleteI love good sci-fi and will tolerate even medium level sci-fi.
Bummer, we really enjoyed that show!!
ReplyDeleteI also loved this show -- there were some goodlooking characters!
ReplyDeleteBut I wondered sometimes why the colony consisted of: a bar, another bar, a third bar, a restaurant, a hospital, and probably another bar. I mean, that's a lot of bars.
I never watch a new Fox series. I learned my lesson with Firefly. Fuckers. I will always hate Fox for that.
ReplyDelete<- This is me with my mean face.
Stop laughing.
Enty, if you like this show, you should change careers.
