Wonderfalls falls off the sked

Not a real surprize, but Wonderfalls has been cancelled.

No word on how or if the remaining 'sodes will be aired. I guess it just didn't try hard enough.

I blame their denial of the Canadian aspect of the series.

    I've got one word to sum up my feelings about this: damn.

    So, what, three, maybe four episodes is enough to determine if a series sticks around or not? What ever happened to giving shows some time to develop?

    They moved it, and I'm assuming since it was canceled, it didn't do any better. Fox used to be the network where shows did a little longer look but clearly not anymore.

    Sign the petition. Who knows if Fox cares . . . it seems mighty strange that Tru Calling has stuck around this long but Wonderfalls isn't even given its entire half-season run . . .

    What would be really cool is if the people involved put the remaining 'sodes (they filmed 13) available via biittorrent. Since you can track up-and-downloaders this would give real numbers for the online audience. Oh, wait, they proably don't want facts to get in the way.

    Just look at the continued numbers for reality programming, consider that Fox's newest addition to the genre is The Swan and it's amazing that network execs are even looking at written teledramas these days - let alone something as quirky and uncategorizable as Wonderfalls.

    One thing I did today was email Global to pick up the series run and air it in Canada. The rationale is that it probably would count toward Canadian content (and Global has very little of that). Apparently the Canadian numbers were quite good for Global, which couldn't air it Thursday (they show "The Apprentice").

    Well, for the time being, that's one less hour of teevee I'll be watching.

    I once rooted for Fox, the network that brought us The X-Files and The Simpsons. Now I've quit watching The Simpsons because I'm so disgusted with them. Between Firefly and Wonderfalls, I feel robbed.

    How long did it take THe X-Files to catch on, anyway? Bunch of losers!

    Speaking of "The X-Files", how about the crapitude of the last three seasons?

    Here were eps where I would have paid the nets not to air them, and they can't even give a really interesting series 13 'sodes? Somebody at Fox must really hate Tim Minear.

    Plus a great theme song by Andy Partridge.
