More proof that FOX is run by morons


Yet another decent sci-fi show with potential cancelled just as it was starting to really grow.

And for those of you willing to come here and complain how bad the show was: grow up, no one forced you to watch it. Let those of us who enjoyed it appreciate it for what it was. Go back to your mindless "reality" tv shows.

Well sci-fi and Fox have never been a particularly strong mix. You get a Fringe every blue moon, but most are cancelled within 1 or 2 years. Not sure why creators of these shows keep having faith in Fox. Their track record really isn't good. X-Files will probably restore their reputation this year, but by next season they'll be at it again. I try to be loyal to the genre, but I really am sick of watching sci-fi shows get cancelled year end, year out on Fox. It's ridiculous!

Well hopefully Fox will count this season with their new ratings view. They decided to look throughout an episodes time in different aspects like on digital services like Hulu & such among other things. So they are at least trying something different now about ratings.

Fox & Sci Fi not a strong mix? Fox Sci Fi: Sliders, Strange Luck, X-Files, Fringe, Terminator SCC. There's more & perhaps the point has been made. Fox has produced more Sci Fi, than the Syfy channel.

DUDE! what are you smoking. NOBODY IS WATCHING. Lets leave aside the huge budget require for the fx, it's the LOWEST rated show on television!

Who's the moron now!

Fox made a risky move even allowing 10 eps to be filmed & aired. Almost Human was out the year before & was good; so people had high hopes that Fox would do something Sci Fi good again. That's the reason I watched MR and to me it just went from bad to worse. I watched the pilot ep and then another ep just in case. Wasn't my taste so I tuned out and watched 12 Monkeys a 2nd time to get my Sci Fi fix. Now, I'm watching Fringe again. There's always a chance that Fox will release some great Sci Fi show.

Fox has always done great SciFi shows the problem is that they set them up for failure by shiffling them to Friday or pitting them against power houses like CSI. Dark Angel, John Doe, Millennium, Doll House...etc.
