    Alcatraz?

    Has any one else been watching this series? I really enjoyed it but I've just found out that there won't be a series 2 due to Fox cancelling it. Who else watched it, do you have any theories ALA Lost, and are you also disappointed about this?

    I ahvent heard much about it but what i have heard was it was pretty good mainly internationally, which is most probably why ffox is booting it as thats what they are famous for (Rip firefly and Stargate franchise)

    I'm also waiting on Earl Hickey to return. Another good concept wasted by a network.

    Re: Alcatraz?

    I always watched Alcatraz and was disappointed to read that it had not been recommissioned for a second series.
    It seems as Rhodderz says that while it was a big hit here, it wasn't so much in the States.
    That's the problem with our channels buying it so early to show here, expecting it to carry on but disappointing fans when it gets cancelled because they have no input over it.
    Why that happens I don't know, when we get swamped with pure sh1te like Family Guy and American Dad, just because simple minded yanks love this kind of juvenile crap!

    I watched every episode, it always had potential to get better but to be honest it wasn't a strong first season and I can see why it got cancelled. Maybe if JJ Abrhams took more of an interest in everything he slaps his name on it could have took off but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

    Gutted this got canned. Excellent show. Each episode had its own merit and the underlying theme was just getting to the next level...I wanna know what happens! Thought Sam Neil's presence alone would get it another series. Would be good if they did a one off to explain it to the fans.
