Did this show get dropped for political reasons?


We loved this show, no it wasn't the best but it was fun to watch and there were a variety of people. Nano technology is interesting and Jake was cute. Every time we find the commercial companies have come up with an enjoyable show they cancel it. I wonder if picking on how our government does things these days was why it got cancelled. Whoopi got the axe too. Any comments???

I enjoyed this show also! I do not know what it is but when they come up with a show that is good and I enjoy it they always end up canceling it. I hate that and the way it looked it was like a super hero show and you do not see too many of those on TV these days you know. Who knows why they canceled the show. If anyone has a answer I am pretty sure we will find out why. A theory of mine is possibly not enough ratings and not too many people wanting to watch the show could be why.

Well unless the government manipulated the ratings. I would say these shows were dropped because of low ratings. I don't think Congress is sitting around and canceling shows that bashes the government. Otherwise everything would be canceled.And you couldn't make over the top spy movies or tv shows.

Okay so sorry to get a political on you but.

Freedom of speech offers that the government can not close any T.V Series, Movie, Media of any kind. the only way they can do this is by formal means writing a letter, sending an email, calling on the phone. it's but to the Studio and Network whether they comply to what they are asking. Threat Matrix which was run on ABC was a great show it got cancelled. because the government thought it gave a bad look to the new governing power. so they asked ABC to axe it. and they complied although it was never proven 24 is believed to have gotten a request but they have FOX backing them so they are pretty secure unless FOX wants to end it.
Renewed for 3 more seasons after Season Five I guess not.
