This is the only reason this show will be cancelled.

I feel the same way... I love a show, it's gone in a season, "Forever" being the last fatality.

I just started watching the premier... already love it!

I am a Firefly fan! Also loved Almost Human, Forever and New Amsterdam.

Very interesting post. The pilot was good, not great, but I do see potential for improvement. We shall see.

I'm afraid that's just your selective memory in-action. Every TV network has that same history with different shows. And going back 50 years to include Star Trek is extreme. NBC of 50 years ago has nothing in-common with NBC today, except their basic drive to maximize this quarter's profit statement.

If you count Star Trek, then you have to count ABC's cancellation of Outer Limits, CBS's mercy killing of Lost In Space, and on and on and on. And where do we draw the line between classics like Star Trek, and garbage like "It's About Time" which had nothing but a catchy theme song?

And who gets the blame for cancelling George McFly's favorite show, Science Fiction Theatre? That one was syndicated, so there wasn't a network involved. Yes that was a real show. I have the DVDs. Some good stories, though slow-paced by modern standards. :)

It's not like the networks, except perhaps for Fox News Network, have any philosophical agenda they're pushing. Individual executives, like the infamous Fred Silverman, did, but not the network itself.

Yeah. Up against MNF.

"inaccuracies" 😃

I really liked it (certainly much more than "Conviction" which premiered at the same time), so NBC will probably cancel it.
