Fall TV SOS: Save One Endangered New Show
E! Networks/Comcast Entertainment Group
Attention, television fans: Wee fledgling TV shows need your help!
All of the new fall shows have premiered, and as quickly as they came into our lives, some of them will be departing due to low ratings.
These series are all very much on the bubble, because of low ratings, lack of critical response or some combination thereof. Each one has unique circumstances, but all are unlikely to live out the year, unless something drastic happens to convince network bosses that they should take a second look. And that's what this special fall edition of Save One Show is all about: We're giving you fans a chance to explain why your show deserves another chance.
So which of the shows on shaky ground do you most want to see more of?
Exclusive
The Fans Have Spoken: Save Terminator!
Congratulations to our 2009 Save One Show winner, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles!
In case you don't know, Save One Show is E!'s annual opportunity for fans to determine which TV series in danger of cancellation most needs to be saved. Past winners have included Angel, One Tree Hill and Veronica Mars. This year, in true killer-cyborg fashion, Terminator kicked ass, with 53 percent of the final-round vote. Chuck was the runner-up with 25 percent (#savechuck), followed by Dollhouse with 10 percent, Life with 8 percent and Privileged with 4 percent.
What about Lost Causes We Love? With 34 percent of the vote, Kyle XY was the winner of our first-ever Lost Causes We Love competition to determine which totally canceled show should be rescued from oblivion. Our dearly departed Pushing Daisies was runner-up with 21 percent.
When the results of your 300,000 votes came in, we called up Terminator show runner and executive producer Josh Friedman with the good news, and he told us exclusively, "I think I speak for everybody who works on the show when I say thank you to the fans for their tireless work to save our show. I think it really goes to show that there's a really hard-core, emotional, passionate fan base for Terminator that is larger and more widespread than people give us credit for."
Read on for the full SOS and Lost Cause results. Plus, find out how being a Terminator boss is like being Brangelina and, most importantly, get the exclusive word from Josh about the show's future...
Pushing Daisies Is in Danger! Can It Be Saved?
ABC/DANNY FELD
The facts are these:
Pushing Daisies needs your help.
Production on episode 13 of season two begins Monday, and that is the last episode currently ordered by ABC for this series. So far the Alphabet network has given no indication to producers that a full-season pickup is coming.
Yes, the Emmy-winning fairy tale could very well end in just a few weeks, and if that were the case, no one who loves good TV would live happily ever after.
Is the situation really as dire as it seems? And can anything be done to save Ned the Pie Maker and friends?
