bad time slots, poor marketing, sloppy writing= failure.

In the case of Flash Gordon, it failed because the producers chose to take the overly "campy" route with the show. I mean, it's ok for a sci-fi show to have some comedy and off the cuff stuff from time to time but the general tone of the entire show was campy and it sucked.

it fealt like a kids show turned into a sci fi show idea.

As for the rest Jerico will be missed that was a cool one. Bionic woman the villain IE starbuck was better then the main actors so ya that was done before it started. 4400 been around a while, tho never big in my books. Journeyman I know tach is ticked over as he says it was good and reviews loved it yet they canceled it.

In many cases with both film and tv, positive reviews does not necessarily mean good ratings or box office performance.

I mean people online taking about it enjoying it and such as per Tach. He was saying people would skip bionic woman and tune into jernayman. no idea about the professional reviewers said.

Journeyman was excellent. I was skeptical at first - sounded too much like Quantum Leap - but it soon won me over. And then... POOF, gone. NBC = staffed by idiots. But they're not alone. Someone pulled the plug way too soon on Firefly, too, and on Wonderfalls, and on My So-called Life...

It obviously wasn't enough people to prevent the show from being cancelled.

the writers strike killed a lot of shows...I think Journeyman was one of them

Oh yeah, no doubt. There were several shows that were on the "bubble" so to speak and the writers strike was pretty much the nail in the coffin for them.

I watched about half of the pilot episode and then turned off the tv. It was just way too cheesy and goofy for my tastes.

The Bionic Woman got slated over here from the first show( (only started here about 3 weeks ago), especially with her really bad high speed running it looked so unrealistic/pathetic the local comedy shows took the piss straight away and quite rightly so.

PanzerMeyer · Post by **PanzerMeyer** » 18 Apr 2008, 12:24

That British actress though who played the lead role in Bionic Woman was nice looking at least.
