The End of the World: Sarah Connor Chronicles Is No More!

Printer-friendly versionSend to friendPDF version

Apparently, after decades of existence, television still does not get it right.

I hope you share my disappointment in the cancellation of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Of course, this just further shows that television networks, as they have proven for decades, not only do not know anything about news, journalistic objectivity, program/anchor selection, entertainment, education or even target audiences, but they also fail to recognize and support smart story-telling. That reminds me of the incident when the network told the producers of Alias to dumb the show down so it can gain a wider (and consequently dumber) audience. We cannot blame the networks too much, though; in the end, they really are just money-making businesses. No matter how much people delude themselves into thinking they are gaining something educational from all the programming, using that excuse to justify dumping their children in front of the tube for hours a day with little to no human interaction.
