It hasn't not been cancelled either.

That article is basically saying nothing at all. LOL

Fear Itself could already be on the same path as Bionic Woman. No official announcement ever coming about it being cancelled and it will simply disappear never to be seen again.

reply

Yeah, I got my DVR programmed to record a new episode whenever it comes on....

...and there it sits and waits....

its a crying shame it can't at LEAST finish out the season!!!!!!! I'm a bit dissapointed.

Most likely we will get a DVD release down the line touting "THE COMPLETE SERIES Including five original un-aired episodes!!"

(Ala FIREFLY)

The only thing worse than a bad movie, is someone who states their Opinion as Fact.

I don't really care at this point if it is cancelled on one condition: they bring back Masters of Horror on Showtime.

"I don't really care at this point if it is cancelled on one condition: they bring back Masters of Horror on Showtime."

Showtime passed on a 3rd season of MOH last Fall, which is the sole reason Fear Itself was started. Same Producers, same concept, different network, different name. Since Fear Itself started, the primary creator of the show Mick Garris dropped out when NBC wanted to hire scabs during the writers strike. So the real driving force of the show is gone.

I am hopeful a DVD collection will surface, & hopefully episodes such as Sacrifice & Eater will contain some "too intense for network" footage.

hi,does anyone on this message forum have any idea when fi will be back?

reply

Well, word from an insider says they are definitely completing the season. There are 5 episodes left to air and episode 13 is a halloween premise, so chances are they will resume October 2 - leaving the final episode near halloween.

reply

thats what i been waiting to hear.................thx

reply

I hope that is true. Fear itself will be great around Halloween. But ER is back so what night will Fear Itself end up on?

reply

hopefully some one on here will know...............thx

reply

ER has become so recylced - it is now in its 14 season - I think the show needs to go belly up.

reply

I don't understand why they aired it over the summer in the first place. Autumn is the best time to premerie a show like this late on a Thursday Night (like 10 or so) Of course I do not watch TV excpet for this and a couple of other things so there very well may be some HUGELY popular piece of sh*t I missed.

I am NOT the "real" Peter Judson.

reply

i'm still waiting

reply

me too!

reply

me too and I only just found out there are 5 more episodes that have not aired

reply

Okay look, Ive been trying to find the best time to tell you this. I think now that its 6 years later, you've matured... you have the tools to cope with what Im about to tell you.
The show HAS been canceled. Whew! boy is that a relief to unload....

But they're on DVD
http://www.amazon.com/Fear-Itself-Season-Margherita-Donato/dp/B002EP8FDI and its just under 10 bucks for the whole season.

the shows I saw unfortunately (imo) weren't worth a second watch. I really wanted to like the series, but after seeing some spectacular Masters of Horror episodes the prior 2 years (Cigarette Burns, Dreams In the Witch House, Pelts to name just a few) this series didn't live up to my expectations. So I gave up hope in seeing/enduring another 5 episodes. But according to the reviews the 4 or 5 that didnt air are in the dvd set.

Are you being sarcastic?

reply

no, im not. the show wasnt very good

reply

This show was seriously guilty of false advertising: there was very little "fear" present.



Hey look--I won an award for just showing up! Yay!!!

reply

Are you being sarcastic?


I agree with the other poster that overall, the show is not very good.

However, it does have a few great episodes, some of which never aired. I don't recommend the series as a whole, but I do recommend these specific unaired episodes:

Something With Bite - an extremely well-done werewolf film with a beautiful monster.

The Spirit Box - excellent ouja board-type film.

The Circle - excellent witch film.

Those episodes not airing first was a real shame. It might have helped the show not die quite so soon. And I feel bad for the directors who got shafted because they did such great work that almost no one ever saw.

reply

So, is this show cancelled or not?

reply

it's done.

reply

So, is this show cancelled or not?


Not. This show has never been cancelled...just like I predicted it wouldn't be at the top of this thread way back in 2008. LOL

reply

Looking forward to season 2.
