Hello everybody, I want to know just a thing (I'm from Italy) why they didnt do season 2?! if someone could answer me thanks!!!
shareI don't know specifcally why, but it had to do with the ratings being so low and the production costs too high that they cancelled it. :( It totally sucks, it was a great show.

I'll give you the rather unpleasant answer. The show came on immediately after Lost which at the time had monster ratings. And the show got much lower ratings than Lost which meant that it wasn't retaining viewers and that made it suspect in the eyes of the network. Lost was both a curse and a blessing in that it boosted it's ratings and boosted it's expectations.
It did however do well enough to be renewed for a second season. Unfortunately at the very last minute the network changed it's mind. Why? At the time they were negotiating a contract renewal with JJ Abrams who was consider a wonderkund at the time with shows like Alias. On the day of the announcement they decided to reverse their renewal and instead as a goodwill gesture renew the extraordinarily pedestrian series "What About Brian" for a second season. Next Season "What About Brian" was cancelled due to poor ratings and JJ Abrams decided not to renew with ABC anyway.
Sometimes the bigshots in charge, like producers and JJ Abrams, etc. seem to have their heads up their asses! It makes me wonder if they even WATCH the shows themselves and give them a chance. Pisses me off that some really great shows had to bite the big one and make room for some really crappy stuff, like "reality" shows. WTF

The Chiller channel has been re-broadcasting the original episodes every night this week in back to back episodes. This is one very spooky show. I can't believe it was canceled. I wish one of the cable networks would bring it back. And that actress who played Mariel (the doctor) is one hot babe. Has she been in any major movies?
