Bad news for the fans of the surprisingly above-average fans of the Terminator TV series, The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Despite the rather good feedback from critics and fans alike, the diminishing ratings of the second season could ensure that the series will be axed.

Last year the show debuted to an excellent 11% share of the USA viewing audience, with the series averaging out at 9%, which is a reasonably good average. However, the new season (including the new arrival of a T1000 “morphing” terminator, as seen in T2) has been getting shares lower than 6%. This equates to a damaging 34% drop from Season One last year.

Over at SyFY Portal a source from broadcasting network Fox has said that “production will likely stop”, although nothing is official as of yet. This is a real shame, as the show (at least Season 1, I have yet to see Season 2) was quite watchable, and will certainly be better than next year’s piece of crap, helmed by McG, far more watchable than the latest season of Fox’s leading show, the silly and contrived Prison Break.

    That’s too bed i’s got a decent plot, and a fairly believable story line to go with it. The acting is all good. The female robot is pretty enough to seduce someone – and I’m sure she will before its “terminated”
    Alot of people watch it – whats the reason for stopping production?

    I know CBS wants to ax cold case and without a trace. Those two shows are keep puling in good numbers……….
    There are just troo many stinkers out there they can dump, and no one will missd them much
    The cheapskates at CBS claim – “the two shows are too expensive” to produce.
    There are a number of other shows that I’d nlike to see go (one of them being “prison break” – *Ijust couldent buy that tattoo of thr prison on his back –
