Okay, okay...SciFi is canning Stargate:Sg-1. But they're not canning the franchise, for gods sake! Atlantis has been renewed, and all the people behind the franchise have stated that there are plans for Stargate, beyond the end of the TV series! C'mon people, chill! The show's been running for 10 SEASONS, a major accomplishment for a non- ( Read more... )

I love watching people freak out when a show is cancelled. Why do people honestly think that these petitions and the like are going to "save their show?" If the studio thinks it's worth the money to please an audience, they'll make more, if not, then you're S.O.fuckin'L.

The "support icons" are bad enough, but it's the fan-websites (like "Firefly Season 2") that really kill me. Christ, get over iot, it's a TV show, and it's gone. Hey, I love Firefly, too, but let it go. Appreciate that it died before it got bogged down and stupid.

To be fair, it has worked once or twice; it was largely fan petitions that got "Family Guy" back on the air, and much the same for "Futurama". It's rare, but studios do occasionally notice when a show still has enough of a fanbase to justify bringing it back.

True. On the other hand, those are both cartoons, not long-story-arc live TV. Much different situations.

...how do you figure? I mean sure, they're both cartoons, and neither was on as long as SG1, but they're still all tv shows with fanbases that really want them to stay on the air. If there's any difference, I'd say it's that SG1 was a cable show (which Futurama Redux will be).
