Last hebdomad , the ratings were being called “ armageddon - like ” and worthy of cancellation , and they ’ve only gotten bad since then – this week ’s installment saw only 5.53 million viewer tuning in , down half a million spectator from a hebdomad before , and almost a million from the 2d time of year premiere . Is Skynet controlling the Nielsen Ratings , or is the ending going to come for Fox ’s Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles sooner than anyone expect ?
The serial publication may have been chevvy by rumors of cancellation since it started but last week’srevelation from Entertainment Weekly about just how honest those rumors were may have surprised some :
An SCC insider evidence me that if the show ’s number do n’t set off to climb , Fox is unbelievable to order any extra episodes beyond the 13 currently in the grapevine . At Saturday ’s EW pre - Emmy bash , Thomas Dekker remained promising that they could hold off doomsday at least until the closing of football season . “ We¹re up against Monday Night Football , ” he suspire , “ which is tricky because we have a peck of football fans . ”
With the ratings for this week ’s 4th episode falling again after the surprise bump for the week before , it ’s unlikely that the show can afford to wait that long , however – and its abode electronic web is n’t much consolation to fans with long memories ; the schizophrenic Fox web may be glad to launch SF TV ( This yr alone , it ’s giving the existence Fringe , Dollhouse and newfangled Ron Moore show Virtuality ) , but evenly trigger - felicitous on the cancellation front ( Firefly , anyone ? ) . SyFy Portal isalready saying that a decisiveness on cancellation is due as ahead of time as this calendar week :
The connection has been disappointed by “ Sarah Connor ’s ” numbers so far this time of year , and some administrator feel that the show is dragging down numbers for “ Prison Break , ” which transmit as a steer - out . “ consultation just are n’t responding to the show , ” a Fox source state SyFy Portal . “ Our with child surprise are the 18 - to-49s [ a central advertising demographic ] , those numbers are in the pot . ”
