The shows creator bids a fond farewell to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Stupid Fox!
Following on from the all but official death of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Fox hammered the final nail into the coffin with the announcement of its Fall TV line up in the States recently.
In a piece over at TVGuide.com, the president of Fox Entertainment, Kevin Reilly, is reported as also declaring that "no matter how well Christian Bale's Terminator Salvation theatrical release does, the TV series will not be baaaack".
And just to cap things off, the creator of the series, Josh Friedman, has posted a farewell blog post over at fox.com.
He writes:
By now most of you have heard the news that T:SCC is cancelled. I received a call earlier today from Peter Roth at Warner Bros. and I appreciate both his personal and professional support throughout this show's life. I know a lot of you are angry about the cancellation and want to find a place to direct your anger and to that I say do yourself a favor and find a way to move past it. Every network wants a big fat hit, especially one with a brand name behind it, and Fox was/is no different. They supported the show, they supported my vision of the show, and they gave it plenty of time to find an audience.
"My only complaint about the T:SCC fans is that there aren't ten million of them," he notes.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is that. We'd wager hard cash though that the show is still talked about in ten years time...
