Serialized shows like this (i.e. Lost) take an investment in the viewers lives. Ironic in the age of DVR that the average American TV viewer still can't find the time and or deductive brainpower to follow a basic story. So bring on the situational gladiators, the "american idol", the dancin star, the "survivor", because at the end of the day, we all want to be the roman citizen that gives the coleseum "thumbs up/ or down" to the losing party. Gladiator's are now contestants Well, TSCC, Fringe, and Dollhouse are all serializn theed dramas with the potential for "stand-alone" episodes.

I published this on I09 and a lot of people jumped down my throat. TSCC was only being used by FOX as a promo for the movie and didn't get good ratings anyway Thanks for realizing this.

When you consider the two stories, TSCC and Salvation have very little in common, what is the benefit to WB to continue to devalue the licensing fee's? Salvation is going to be out, and thus TSCC isn't needed anymore. Sarah Connor was right there with Lost in my book of good television, so I hate this. Dollhouse is still around because Joss showed the network that he could produce an episode of the show for peanuts (the unaired 13th episode DVD extra "Epitaph pt 1.) Plus it has strong DVR numbers. I like the show, but doubt it will pull in any new viewers next season considering the shitty fri. 9pm timeslot. Fringe has potential to run for 4-5 years, there is a lot of mythology there. Happy it is staying around. Out of the three, I would personally rather see TSCC but two out of three ain't bad.
