Noooooooooooo! USA Network kills 4400

Curses, darn, drat!

Multichannel reports that USA Network axed the scifi show The 4400. A quote... "We wish we could keep all our great shows alive forever, but we feel we need to give some of our new shows a platform to grow,” Jeff Wachtel, USA executive vice president of original programming, said in a statement. “It's with great sadness that we say goodbye to two shows that had a great run and helped create the resurgence of original programming on our network and on all of cable.”

Well, if they'd put the damn things on at a regular time, and kept regular seasons, they'd get more watchers! When I can't figure out who's on when, I'm not going to bother.

And LIFETIME!! Where the hell is Blood Ties, and why can I never find it in the listings?

Blood Ties was airing Friday nights after SGA. So, the line up was Moonlight, SGA, and then Blood Ties.

But, for some weird ass reason, Lifetime decided that they weren't going to air the last ep and only have it like online. At least, that was the last bit I'd heard via somewhere as what Tanya Huff reported on her LJ. (That reminds me, I need to find her LJ & tag it, so I can see what news there is!)

What can I say about USA - it's owned by the same mega-corp that owns Sci-Fi & we all know that these people don't live in reality. Bonnie Hammer (Q.B.I.C. of Sci-Fi) has more than once demonstrated that fact when talking to the media! *sigh*

4400 I lost track of, again, because of inconsistent scheduling - same with Dead Zone. One week we'd be having new eps on Sunday night, the next 3 weeks it either wouldn't be on, or it would be in repeats.

I lose track of everything as no network seems to want to adhere to a schedule.
