I just learned that Terra Nova has been cancelled! I’m really disappointed in this news. I was really starting to enjoy the show.
At first I was a bit confused by all the different challenges the Shannon family had to deal with. The “6′ers”, the environment and being a family with two teenage kids and a much younger child (which they were not supposed to have.
I was very impressed with the talent they pulled for this show. I mean there was lets see, Steven Spielberg, Stephen Lang of Avatar fame, Jason O’Mara of Life on Mars (American version) … OK, I’m probably the only one who liked that series, and Christine Adams of Batman Begins, TRON: Legacy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Doctor Who, Stargate SG-1 and even EastEnders! (OK, that last one was only because I used to watch EastEnders when our local PBS channel put it on a long time ago. BBCA had it on for a little while, but I guess British soap opera’s just don’t have the charm that American ones do.)
I have to assume that Falling Skies has also bit the dust, but I haven’t heard anything about it yet. The site I use to keep up on shows that are cancelled is showing Falling Skies as returning Summer 2012. I guess we shall see. IMDB.com has a listing for episode 1 and episode 4 of season two.
To be fair, Falling Skies did have a grittier feel to it than Terra Nova. Maybe folks were expecting Jurassic Park. :shrug:
Since we cut the cord here, we have discovered several shows. Some we might have discovered if we were still watching cable, but maybe not. After all, we skipped pretty much all the commercials we could with the TiVo and the DVR that we got from Charter. iTunes helps out a little by offering free pilot episodes of many new shows. That’s how I found out about
