 Syfy Picks Up Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles!
T:SCC is returning to TV screens -- sort of.
The Syfy Channel has picked up the rights to air the entire Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles series on the network. Sadly, it's just the classic episodes and nothing new - but it's definitely better than nothing.
Look for the show to begin airing April 7 after Syfy runs Terminator 3.
Here's the press release from the network:
SYFY ACQUIRES ALL THIRTY-ONE EPISODES OF "TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES" FROM WARNER BROS. DOMESTIC TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION
SERIES WILL PREMIERE ON SYFY THURSDAY, APRIL 7
NEW YORK - February 22, 2011 - Syfy has acquired both seasons (31 episodes) of the acclaimed fan-favorite Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles from Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution, it was announced today by Chris Regina, Vice President, Programming, Syfy, and Tom Cerio, Executive Vice President, Cable Sales, Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.
With Terminator 3 as the lead-in, the series will join the Syfy line-up on Thursday, April 7 with two episodes from 9-11PM (ET/PT). The regular time slot will be Thursdays from 7-11PM (ET/PT).
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles brought the blockbuster Terminator movie franchise to television in an action-adventure drama taking place after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The series reveals what happens when Sarah Connor (series star Lena Headey - upcoming Game of Thrones, 300, The Brothers Grimm) stops running and goes on the offensive against an ever-evolving technological enemy. At the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah vanquished the Terminator sent from the future to kill her teenage son, John. Now Sarah and John (series star Thomas Dekker - Heroes) find themselves in a very dangerous, complicated world. Fugitives from the law, they must evade pursuers from the future and the present in today's Los Angeles, relentlessly battling to save more than just themselves.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles ran for two seasons (2007-09).
Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker, Summer Glau, Brian Austin Green, Garret Dillahunt, Shirley Manson, Leven Rambin and Richard T. Jones starred in the series, from the Bartleby Company and The Halcyon Company in association with Warner Bros. Television. Josh Friedman, John Wirth, James Middleton, Mario Kassar, Andrew Vajna and Joel Michaels served as executive producers.
Syfy is a media destination for imagination-based entertainment. With year round acclaimed original series, events, blockbuster movies, classic science fiction and fantasy programming, a dynamic Web site (www.Syfy.com), and a portfolio of adjacent business (Syfy Ventures), Syfy is a passport to limitless possibilities. Originally launched in 1992 as SCI FI Channel, and currently in more than 98 million homes, Syfy is a network of NBCUniversal, one of the world's leading media and entertainment companies. (Syfy. Imagine greater.)

Executive Producer Josh Friedman's Message To The Fans
T:SCC exec producer Josh Friedman has posted a special message to the fans on the official FOX T:SCC blog. Here, re-presented, is what he had to say:
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.
And what an audience we found: passionate, intelligent, kind of nuts in a good way. My only complaint about the T:SCC fans is that there aren’t ten million of them. But I prefer to be happy for the ones we had instead of lamenting the ones we didn’t.
Good shows are cancelled every year; smart shows, worthy shows, shows which move their viewers to write blogs and have viewing parties and create action figures and bury executives’ email accounts under thousands of messages. I miss Deadwood and The Wire and Arrested Development but thank God that I still have Rescue Me and The Office and a recently renewed Party Down written by ex-T:SCC writer John Enbom.
Bad shows are cancelled, too. And certainly there are those who did not like what we did and had their own vision for what a Terminator TV show should be. It’s easy to look at low ratings or cancellation as “failure” and for those who believe we’ve gone about this all wrong I’m sure today’s news will only serve to confirm a world view that I would never try to change. We’ve written the show as best we can, executed it to the best of our abilities, and sent it out in the world knowing that we worked out asses off to do something that wouldn’t be a waste of anybody’s forty-three minutes.
Thanks to a brave and talented cast, a feature crew working on a TV schedule, and everyone else who I could list but won’t because they know who they are. Mostly I’d like to thank those of you who’ve supported us and fought for us and given up hours of your life to watch our show. At the end of the day, that’s what it’s about. The watching.
Hope we do it again soon.
Josh Friedman
Here at TerminatorSite we also received a message from Warner Bros. Television thanking the fans for all of their support:
On behalf of everyone at Warner Bros. Television, we are writing to thank you for your tireless support of “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.” While we have learned officially today that FOX will not be renewing the series for a third season, we remain extremely proud of the show and of the talented creative team and crew that brought it to life each week.
Today’s decision marks the end of “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” on television … but the “Terminator” franchise continues, of course, on the big screen, with the release of the highly anticipated “Terminator Salvation” this Thursday.
Thanks again for your dedication to the show, and we hope you enjoy the movie. Best wishes to you all.

FOX Unveils 2009-2010 Schedule, T:SCC Is Absent
UPDATED: It's Over.
FOX's 2009-2010 schedule has been released to advertisers, and as rumored, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is absent from that schedule.
Most media outlets are describing the show as "dead" although we should probably wait for official word from the studio, the network, or the showrunners (such as Josh Friedman) before declaring it all over.
UPDATED: And now it is official. FOX's Kevin Reilly said to reporters in a conference call this morning that the show "has completed its run," no matter how well Terminator: Salvation may do. FOX has made a bet, and apparently they've instead put their money behind Dollhouse. |
| NEWS POSTED MAY 17, 2009 |
Rumored FOX Schedule Features No T:SCC
The Hollywood Reporter's Live Feed has posted what is purported to be the FOX 2009 Fall schedule. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is NOT in the line-up, unless it's being saved for midseason.
Now, keep in mind that nothing is official until FOX makes their announcements tomorrow, here's what The Live Feed is saying:
Mondays: House, Lie To Me
Tuesdays: So You Think You Can Dance, Fringe
Wednesdays: So You Think You Can Dance results, Glee
Thursdays: Bones, Kitchen Nightmares (with Past Life coming in after baseball)
Fridays: Dollhouse*
Saturdays: Not stated, assumed to remain the same
Sundays: Brothers at 7:30, The Cleveland Show at 8:30, all others unchanged
* THR originally posted that Human Target would precede Dollhouse, but now is saying that FOX might save it for Late Fall or Midseason. No word yet on what's on at 8.
Here's an update from T:SCC writer/co-producer/executive story editor Ashley Edward Miller, as posted on Twitter:
"I have no idea what the THR report means or doesn't mean. I do know we haven't heard anything. Watch this space." |
FOX Will [Most Likely] Announce Their Terminator Decision Within The Next 24 Hours
After weeks of even the actors and producers not knowing the final decision, FOX will finally be announcing the fate of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles tomorrow (Monday 5/18/09).
Usually Fall schedules end up leaking a little early so there may be an answer as early as tonight.
As soon as something is known, we will post here on TerminatorSite. Already, FOX has given a surprise renewal to Dollhouse; could a surprise be in store for Terminator as well? Stay tuned... |

Season Finale Ratings: Where Were The Viewers?
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles posted some low numbers for its final episode of Season Two, which could mean that the season finale cliffhanger will be the end of the series.
It did, however, gain from last week.
With the positive word of mouth on the season's last two episodes, FOX might do well to repeat the last two episodes, at the very least, to see if people will come back. The network and studio are surely aware there is demand for more, so, will they bite, despite the ratings tumble?
On the bright side, DVR numbers and the final ratings numbers on Monday should make things a little bit higher.

 Now THAT Was A Season Finale!
If you're coming to TerminatorSite now, chances are good you recently caught the Season 2 finale of Terminator:
The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
If you haven't seen it yet, it was a game-changer that - if there is a third season - will take the show in new directions and possibly solve any criticisms that were leveled toward the second season.
Do you agree? Disagree? Drop by the T:SCC forums at KryptonSite and talk about it! There's a specific forum for the season finale here.

Is The Show Over?
A lot of speculation has spread about whether or not the April 10 episode is Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' last.
There have been reports that the sets have been dismantled - which should not be alarming, considering that the characters frequently move from one place to another - and a few other statements implying that things are over.
As far as we know, no decision has been made at this time.
Good ratings for the finale could help Terminator's case. Heck, even bad ratings for Prison Break once it returns might say something about the time slot T:SCC was relegated to. There's a nice new Terminator movie (Salvation) planned for the summer.
We'll know for sure what FOX plans to do by late May, when they announce their Fall 2009 schedules. Until then, it's not time to panic... yet. But, again, be sure everyone tunes in on Friday night, if you want the Connors and Cameron to continue to run. Don't let Skynet win! |

"Adam Raised A Cain" Ratings
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles had what may have been its best episode of Season Two last night, but unfortunately, not many people saw it.
Hopefully positive buzz from this week's episode will inspire people to tune in for the season finale on April 10. Otherwise, it could be the end of the road for Sarah Connor.
Dollhouse also had a good episode last night, and that, too, went down.

Thomas Dekker To Star In Werewolf Film
Watchmen co-writer Davd Hayter will soon be writing and directing a werewolf thriller called Slaughter's Road. Production will begin in the summer.
Why is this relevant to TerminatorSite? The film will star none other than "John Connor" himself, Thomas Dekker. Ray Stevenson (Punisher: War Zone) is in talks to co-star.
It is unknown at this time if this will conflict with a possible third season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, or if this should be a sign that maybe the show is soon to end. |

"Desert Cantos" Ratings!
The Friday night move continues to be bad for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which, even though numbers went up a bit, still fared poorly on a night of mostly repeats. Friday-night companion Dollhouse didn't do much better, at 4.22 million.
These numbers would be great if it were The CW, but this is FOX, which usually gets big ratings on other nights. Maybe another timeslot change (or a return to Mondays?) is in order to save the show.

Well, moving to Fridays might not be the best thing ever for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which dropped a LOT. Hopefully things will rebound in coming weeks.

 GOOD NEWS: FOX Orders A Full Season Of T:SCC!
Those worried that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles would be headed toward cancellation can worry no more - FOX has ordered a full season for Season 2, as reported by Variety.
The decision is said to have been made late on Friday.
Congratulations to the cast and crew on the good news! Now let's hope the show can continue to grow ratings-wise! |
| NEWS POSTED OCTOBER 7, 2008 |
"Goodbye To All That" Ratings!
Dancing With The Stars and CBS's sitcoms were at the top of the ratings, but fortunately, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles gained a little bit. Hopefully it'll be enough for FOX to order the "back nine" episodes for the season and not end the show after episode #2-13.
Note that NBC's Chuck is already fading and T:SCC isn't that far behind.
Remember that next week there is no new episode of T:SCC, but the show will return on October 20.

Season 2 Premiere Ratings: Could Be Better, But Still Impressive
The Sept. 8 season premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles did fairly well although it was down from last year's season premiere ratings. Part of this could be due to stiffer competition. The show did, however, win the Adults 18-49 demographic, and it doubled the ratings for Gossip Girl which is classified to be a "hit," so, you do the math.
