I can tell why it was so expensive/cancelled...WAY overblown cast and crew. Worked on big budget, HUGE cast and crew (Superman, Superman 3...etc.). This was ridiculous, what you get when you put Spielberg on a TV show. HUNDREDS of crew standing around, and hundreds of extras...equals a huge "cost-cutting" risk when the bean-counters decide who gets the axe.
Hell yes, I loved that show. Also it was based on one of many Federal Black Plans for an event as such if it was to happen. All in all a damn good show great cast and a story line that could have shown so much more.
I actually composed the musical score for this show and it was an amazing experience. Every week I would also conduct a full orchestra at Fox For the show which is extremely rare for a tv show. I was sad to see it go. Thanks for this great breakdown of its fate. We put our heart and soul into it. ❤
Omg so I encouraged myself to try find it and I actually found it on the iTunes for £16.99 and OMG the season finale was amazing i know a s2 will never happen but goddammit I demand one
Teen Age Mutant TV Programmers perpetually chasing the "18-35 age" demographic. (It's actually "12-25.") These are the streaming TV/cord cutters who exchew network TV as "too last century."
I remember the cast comparing the show to The Walking Dead and asking why a dinosaur show with no dinosaurs gets cancelled, while a zombie show with no zombies gets another season :D
The difference with the walking dead is that there are a lot of people out there in the world while in terra nova you only have people coming from the gate/future. It's less interesting
I really enjoyed Terra Nova when it was on air. Another show that I was bummed about was V when it got cancelled after 1 season. How do you cancel a show when you end with nuclear war with aliens on the horizon :p
Never saw Alien Nation, but V seemed to have it all. The action, the drama, and the mystery. I guess there's just not a broad enough television audience for alien TV shows.
My memory is very faulty at times, but I think that Alien Nation was something of a First Contact sort of thing where Earth meets Aliens and try to overcome their racial differences. I believe there were at least two movies. I know there was one. I think there was a sequel and then the television show that followed. I am sure there is an imdb.com for it...
@@jimmyyys and still not over it =(, i cant find another show like that. I love the other world , futuristic (but not to much) stuf. I watch the Avatar movie all the time just for the actors, other world stuff and tec, not really for the storie XD. Lets see what the 100 season 6 new planet has for us this year. Another show was defiance too
I enjoyed Terra Nova it sucks that is was cancelled, the actors want to continue doing Terra Nova, i would like there to be a season 2 but we're not gonna get a season 2 Thanks FOX... I hate you
Angel Muniz It seems popular for it's niche but maybe underrated compared to some clickbait channels on TH-cam who get millions of views for videos that don't put much thought into them.
@@randyhutchinson9910that was the best show i ever watched like i want them to make more seasons even if one day i have to pay and film it myself to continue it i will😅i will get everyone back together and continue where they left off at
@@randyhutchinson9910 ya one day i will have this show back on Netflix and TV again i will get everyone back together and continue were they left off at
I've watched season one so many times and i love it is a great show but it really makes me sad to see such a great show just up and canceled and what bums me out the most is how they left it on a cliff hanger like that
The problem with Terra Nova was it didn't spend enough time building up the bigger story arc that was revealed at the last few episodes. From what I remember, it spent way too much time on the family drama problem of the week formula without balancing the bigger story to keep people thinking and talking. I lost a lot of interest mid way through the season, but stuck with it, and the last episode actually made me want more and kind of hooked me.
Aw, man, I have a good feeling about "Canceled"! Can I recommend you do a video about Pixar's Newt? I've been curious about the film's cancelation and such. I'd really love for you to do a video on it~
This is a great idea! I submitted Discovery Zone for Abandoned as well recently. I am excited for more content. I love "Cancelled" as an idea. Love and light!
Bright Sun Films yeah your channel is amazing. I know such much about abandoned places thanks to you. I told someone about premier cruise line and they ask how i knew that and I told them about your channel. Keep up the good work
It’s a shame this show was cancelled, I found it streaming an binged the whole thing in a couple days. Then watched it again! It had some fantastic work by cast & crew, and was much higher quality than many other shows of the time. I’m off to rewatch it!
I do have to note that Fox, while trigger happy with cancellations, is also very lenient with producing shows to begin with. Many shows got a start on Fox, that the more traditional channels would never produce.
2019 anyone? I would be awesome that someone would buy the show and remake it with a different story but the same idea.. i don't know, the same actors and characters would be awkward
Noo, I would like to have to same actors and characters as before. I kind of fell in love with Lucas Taylor hehe, soo i would like to have him on the show😂🙈
Milkbag I looked up this video cause I never found out what happened to the show. Time flew by and I didn’t even know what happened to the show. It’s almost 2020 and I’m just now trying to find out what happened to the show.
I think the show Jericho would make a great addition to this new series. From the fan campaign of sending nuts to CBS HQ to get it renewed, and how badly CBS handled the second season, would make a interesting story for this series.
Agreed, It had a good story, good acting and memorable characters. It suffered ratings wise because of the poor handling by CBS. The first half of season one had really good ratings, but after a very long mid-season break it failed to regain traction.
Kent Louderback Huh, didn't know that information. We never did know what happened in the war against Jennings and Rall... Texas and Ohio vs the powerful organization... But there is a comic book comic book series based off the show. Thank you for responding!
Also when CBS agreed to a season 2 after the Fan campaign, they gave it a short season 2, placed it in a bad time slot during the summer, during the summer all shows suffer a ratings drop. Also The time slot was at the same time as American Idol which was a ratings juggernaut at the time.
They left his show on a major major cliffhanger. It ended with the bag guys heading to a certain point of which they had been exploring. And the people at the compound open in up a crate they had brought back that contained an old wooden ships front end.
Good video. You're right about FOX being very trigger happy with cancelling shows after 1 season and not giving them the chance. Two other great FOX shows that you should do are Alcatraz and Space: Above and Beyond.
Great idea for a new series! I do remember watching a few episodes of Terra Nova but never got into enough to realise only one series was made. Based on the big budget and what the series was about, seems like it would have been better to have made the series into a few movies which could have made more money and got a much bigger audience. I have a few suggestions for other Cancelled TV shows: Odyssey 5 (I watched the whole series at the time and was hoping we'd find out what caused Earths destruction but it was just left on a cliffhanger), Jake 2.0, Tru Calling, Firefly, My Name Is Earl, Dallas (2012-2014) and Stargate Universe.
Dave's Nature Productions good list! I really couldn't get into the stargate spinoffs (unless that was the only one, the eggs on my face) SG1 was well rounded and written.
Dave's Nature Productions I actually liked the show, primarily for the side stories, and watched the entire season. Never realized it cost such a ridiculous amount to produce.
It boiled down to being another boring family drama. Falling Skies is another version of the same show - draw people in with the sci-fi intrigue and dupe them into watching more bland family struggles and squabbling.
yeah... they got father/son angst on everything. And worse, only the fathers were allowed to have complex feelings about it. The sons were just "angry about something". That might have been what did the show in: lack of overlap between the "yay dinosaurs" crowd and the "I don't understand my teenage son" crowd.
I think Terra Nova was deeply flawed. Their weapon technology meant that they were never seriously threatened by, nor needed to adapt, to the environment & the fauna. I think it would have been much more interesting if they had lost most technology, and had to contend with the dinosaurs using spears, bows & arrows, and their wits. Survival would not have been ensured, and would not have required super intelligent dinosaurs to create drama.
lol they need to do a cancelled mini series based soley around fox and sci fi. fox has this weird love hate with sci fi. now when i see adds for a new sci fi if i see fox's name i just go nah because i know it'll get dumped like a sack of bricks when the next big reality tv craze hits
Damn i miss that show. I wanted to see more of it. I figured the budget would be high cause Spielberg was involved but so what. Dish out the $$$ and keep going. The other show that ended with a cliffhanger is syfy's Defiance. There should have been another season to close it out.
Love the idea for the new show, you should do "The Secret Circle" that's another show they cancelled after just one season. I was getting into that one too :( I'm off to watch the "complete" terra nova!
I loved the show when it first premiered (still do), and like many, I was disappointed that it didn't get a second season. I *am* wanting to pick up the DVD with that motion comic. I for one would like some closure to the story.
As a truck driver that spends 9 to 12 hours a day by myself, I am completely obsessed with the abandoned series. I applaud you, for putting this much time and effort into abandoned, bankrupt, and now canceled. Thank you.
I still remember seeing the pilot episode as it aired. It was alright, though at the time seemed much bigger as there was few things like it. By the way, great idea for a series, Jake.
Cancelled is going to be an amazing series, I can feel it. Bright Sun Films, you never fail to impress me with interesting content other TH-camrs hardly cover :) As for a suggestion, how about the short lived 2015-2016 Muppets TV show? Or if you're interested in something with a more interesting history, then Muppets Tonight (1996-1998). Also, a famous one is Invader Zim (2001-2002; 2006)
I love that you are stretching into a new category of abandoned aka cancelled ...keep up the good work ... cant wait to see more .. would love to see a review on Terminator the sarah connor chronicles .... and loved the show terra nova was sad to see it go ..... on a side note I could swear your vocal twin is Fortnine a motorcycle vloger from canada that reviews bikes parts and gear, check it out if you can it was spooky playing both your voice and his at the same time.
It became really good at the second season, but it was too late already. It was quite clear SyFy (jeez, that effin- name change) wanted to kill it since the middle of the second season by moving the broadcasting times. They just gave up on it. The problem is they didn't accept the first season as a "setup" to something bigger, which the next seasons would be. You can still find interviews with the creators saying some of the ideas they wanted to put into the next seasons and boy, they were awesome. People sort of weren't ready for a more serious Stargate series. However today it would work just great. Just look at the Star Trek, how it has literally just risen from it's grave. There is still great chance for reviving the whole franchise. It seems though MGM simply doesn't want to or it would have happened already.
It wasn't bad, but the characters just didn't live up to the previously set standards. There wasn't a rouge like Shepard, a badass like Ronin, or a loveable dumbass like McKay. We got stuck with Lieutenant Hooters instead.
equarg I agree. I just hate it that whenever a story has a potentially cool or interesting villain, that villain would instead be replaced or outdone by a human enemy. What kind of idiot would want to hear a story about humans fighting dinosaurs anyways? Let's just have humans be the ultimate bad guy because that is always more interesting than giant carnivorous lizards! Ugh.
ComiXProvider FTW_02 Kaptainkristian recently got a partnership with IGN to make video game and comic related episodes. He may be underrated, but that's a pretty damn good experience to put on his portfolio.
This show came out in the wrong decade. It would absolutely be a smash hit and able to be monetised if it was released now, with streaming services so massively profitable.
You are an amazing TH-camr. I always love your videos. If you need an idea for an upcoming episode, I'd suggest the Dean Devlin show Leverage. It's my favorite TV show and I don't exactly know why it was cancelled. You're one of my fave TH-camrs!!!!!
I always loved this show, there’s a part of me that will always hold out hope for someone out there to pick up the series or make some kind of remake. It gave my Dinotopia vibes, I will forever miss this show.
The producers of Terra Nova are stupid as a mass. To stop this amazing series was the biggest mistake. And now you see they still loose there money on other things. It's always about money not more. Poor humans i have to say. But look outside. In the series humans were able to destroy earth in a way were not far from. All about hat s**t money and power over humans. What if we cancel these guys at first?
Well, it wasn't cancelled for "unknown reasons". In short the show wasn't generating the rating numbers CBS wanted, even as it wasn't doing poorly, and it was an expensive production. The second season triggered by the audience had a final episode shot in two different ways which the network could choose to play depending on whether the show was renewed for a third season or not. It was an awesome show but it was cancelled for the same reasons as most other shows: costs and ratings.
Both Extant and UTD got decent endings, UTD could have continued as a 'Alien Chase' series but the dome was down and it had strayed so far from the book it was in name only Would love to have seen The Event continue [as well as Flash Forward, Revolution and many others] but alas, sci-fi on network TV usually self destruct: see how CBS is handling Star Trek: Discovery
The Event suffered from Horrible acting and really stupid writing at the start, it was no surprise it got canned, thats not to say i'm not interested in a what would have happened, UTD never got away from what I call the "STUPID factor", I mean my god the one lady gets shot in the leg, keeps the bandage on the OUTSIDE of her jeans and is RUNNING in a matter of DAYS, just completely lacks common sense, Flash Forward definitely deserved a second season, it was FAR superior to UTD or The Event
Oh man, Flash Forward had one of the best season (er, series) finales ever. Also, that scene of the one guy jumping off a building is really creepy in hindsight, as that actor would end up killing himself in real life.

Hell yes, I loved that show. Also it was based on one of many Federal Black Plans for an event as such if it was to happen. All in all a damn good show great cast and a story line that could have shown so much more.

Sounds like a lot of TV shows in general. Some with dinosaurs. Some with aliens. Some with zombies. Some with overpaid, unfunny comedians.

I think it would have been much more interesting if they had lost most technology, and had to contend with the dinosaurs using spears, bows & arrows, and their wits. Survival would not have been ensured, and would not have required super intelligent dinosaurs to create drama.
Listening to this and Abandoned while I drive my semi at work. Thanks man and keep making these videos, please.
How about the TV show "Gallivant"? With its cancellation, revival, and final cancellation I feel like it could be an interesting topic to dig into.
I just found your channel and I'm binge watching your videos!
Do Firefly, the most upsetting cancellation ever!
This was my favorite tv show i have ever seen in my life, broke my heart when i noticed it will never continue :(
you should do a Canceled on "Firefly"
Nick Signore exactly what i was going to suggest. or the most cancelled show in existance, Futurama.
Jimmy Segrist lol. How many times can you get cancelled right?
+Jimmy Sergist More like the one peeps can't let go of.
I prefer Futurama over Simpsons
lol they need to do a cancelled mini series based soley around fox and sci fi. fox has this weird love hate with sci fi. now when i see adds for a new sci fi if i see fox's name i just go nah because i know it'll get dumped like a sack of bricks when the next big reality tv craze hits
Damn i miss that show. I wanted to see more of it. I figured the budget would be high cause Spielberg was involved but so what. Dish out the $$$ and keep going. The other show that ended with a cliffhanger is syfy's Defiance. There should have been another season to close it out.
A very well-done summary.
Stumbled upon this while looking for something else, and I may need to stick around. You've done your research.
I liked Terra Nova, It WAS one of my favorite shows!
i miss terranova. it was such a fun, lovely tv show.
I love how "City of Detroit" was marked on the Abandoned episode idea list as On Hold xD
Love the idea for the new show, you should do "The Secret Circle" that's another show they cancelled after just one season. I was getting into that one too :( I'm off to watch the "complete" terra nova!
Agree. Escpecially since it ended on a big cliffhanger I was really disappointed that The CW cancelled it
This show deserved a second season
I never understand why they went back to a time knowing there’s comet with your name on it.
I think this show deserved a movie to wrap its story up. Like how Serendipity gave a cleaner ending to Firefly.
Serendipity????
I know it’s Serenity, but now I’m picturing John Cusak trying to talk to a dinosaur and it’s beautiful. So, thank you! 🙏🏻
I loved the show when it first premiered (still do), and like many, I was disappointed that it didn't get a second season. I *am* wanting to pick up the DVD with that motion comic. I for one would like some closure to the story.
As a truck driver that spends 9 to 12 hours a day by myself, I am completely obsessed with the abandoned series. I applaud you, for putting this much time and effort into abandoned, bankrupt, and now canceled. Thank you.
I still remember seeing the pilot episode as it aired. It was alright, though at the time seemed much bigger as there was few things like it.
By the way, great idea for a series, Jake.
I was a major fan of Terra Nova, thank you for this! I also love your ABANDONED videos, and amped for CANCELLED.
+David MG Thanks so much!
+Bright Sun Films Read my comment please.
big sad
just reminded myself about this show i really loved as a kid, rewatched it and now im so sad :(
I want more..
you should do an episode about the show Revolution- a show with flaws but amazing characters and setting that was cancelled fairly quickly.
Because last season went downhill extremely fast
Cancelled is going to be an amazing series, I can feel it. Bright Sun Films, you never fail to impress me with interesting content other TH-camrs hardly cover :) As for a suggestion, how about the short lived 2015-2016 Muppets TV show? Or if you're interested in something with a more interesting history, then Muppets Tonight (1996-1998). Also, a famous one is Invader Zim (2001-2002; 2006)
I love that you are stretching into a new category of abandoned aka cancelled ...keep up the good work ... cant wait to see more .. would love to see a review on Terminator the sarah connor chronicles .... and loved the show terra nova was sad to see it go ..... on a side note I could swear your vocal twin is Fortnine a motorcycle vloger from canada that reviews bikes parts and gear, check it out if you can it was spooky playing both your voice and his at the same time.
Stargate Universe....
Phaire Couchpotato i would have literally shot myself if i had a gun. destiny is still out there :(
Phaire Couchpotato It all came down to a lack of viewers :( Rest in peace.
Don't think it was anywhere near as good as SG1 or Atlantis
It became really good at the second season, but it was too late already. It was quite clear SyFy (jeez, that effin- name change) wanted to kill it since the middle of the second season by moving the broadcasting times. They just gave up on it. The problem is they didn't accept the first season as a "setup" to something bigger, which the next seasons would be. You can still find interviews with the creators saying some of the ideas they wanted to put into the next seasons and boy, they were awesome. People sort of weren't ready for a more serious Stargate series. However today it would work just great. Just look at the Star Trek, how it has literally just risen from it's grave. There is still great chance for reviving the whole franchise. It seems though MGM simply doesn't want to or it would have happened already.
It wasn't bad, but the characters just didn't live up to the previously set standards. There wasn't a rouge like Shepard, a badass like Ronin, or a loveable dumbass like McKay. We got stuck with Lieutenant Hooters instead.
TV series needed more dino drama...less silly human drama!
equarg I agree. I just hate it that whenever a story has a potentially cool or interesting villain, that villain would instead be replaced or outdone by a human enemy. What kind of idiot would want to hear a story about humans fighting dinosaurs anyways? Let's just have humans be the ultimate bad guy because that is always more interesting than giant carnivorous lizards! Ugh.
I’m still pissed. I just wanted a season 2 man I love Naomi scott😂
This and kaptainkristian are the most underrated channels on TH-cam
ComiXProvider FTW_02 Kaptainkristian recently got a partnership with IGN to make video game and comic related episodes. He may be underrated, but that's a pretty damn good experience to put on his portfolio.
thirteenfury good for him
My mum and dad worked on this show and they said that it was pretty fun to film at first
@Felix Cannabi Nah, sadly 2021 is a bit too late, the show is dead forever, it's essence rotted.
@Felix Cannabi I’d love a reboot…but comparing it to avatar is dumb. Avatar is No.2 at the box office. It’s bound to make money.
This show came out in the wrong decade. It would absolutely be a smash hit and able to be monetised if it was released now, with streaming services so massively profitable.
Where can we watch it for Free?
I have been waiting for someone to explain to me why they cancelled that show! Witches of East End
If this show gets cancelled, are you going to do a Cancelled on it?
Man if Netflix would have picked this show up it would have done so fuckin well bro this show had so much fuckin potential
I remember being so excited when this was coming out, what a let down :(
Exactly, the potential was huge. Such a shame.
Didn't deserved to get cancelled even though it had it's flaws.
Stephen Lang is best known for Gettysburg, Tombstone, and Gods & Generals.
2021 Just started watching S1E1 and man oh man I now I’m gonna be disappointed again when I get to that finale...this show was and is still great!
It was simply under promoted. Didnt even know about it until 2016. Would have paid per episode to watch it.
i actually liked the Terra Nova show, it wasn't too bad
I loved this show
Our family loved this, such a good show for adults and kids to watch together. One of the only shows we regularly watched as a family.
Could you do video games that has been cancelled. Such as Silent Hill, Scalebound and Fable Legend.
Gavin Tai fable sucked after number 1
But if they cut the episodes in half they would get twice as much views for half the cost
I love Terra Nova, it’s a great dinosaur series and I don’t want it to end.
Do one of these for "Better Off Ted". A sadly canceled show :(
G-Rated DO THIS! I really liked Better Off Ted. 😪
The reason I didnt like this show that much back then was because all the 'main family' characters, they were all generic cookie cutter people..
You are an amazing TH-camr. I always love your videos. If you need an idea for an upcoming episode, I'd suggest the Dean Devlin show Leverage. It's my favorite TV show and I don't exactly know why it was cancelled. You're one of my fave TH-camrs!!!!!
My son just said "we need to invent time travel so we can go back and save this show" Lol. I agreed. Such a great show
In my fictional world, this show is still continuing until it is finished and still successful
I could care less about the TV show but the premise of Alternate Earth Colonization is immensely interesting to me
I liked this show, it's a damn shame.
I always loved this show, there’s a part of me that will always hold out hope for someone out there to pick up the series or make some kind of remake. It gave my Dinotopia vibes, I will forever miss this show.
The producers of Terra Nova are stupid as a mass. To stop this amazing series was the biggest mistake. And now you see they still loose there money on other things. It's always about money not more. Poor humans i have to say.
But look outside. In the series humans were able to destroy earth in a way were not far from. All about hat s**t money and power over humans. What if we cancel these guys at first?
OOOOHHHH!!! You should do an episode about the show Jericho! It was awesome but cancelled for unknown reasons!! Awesome video though love them!!!
definitely wanted to see how things played out there.
Wasn't there a writer's strike all across the tv scene back then?
Well, it wasn't cancelled for "unknown reasons". In short the show wasn't generating the rating numbers CBS wanted, even as it wasn't doing poorly, and it was an expensive production. The second season triggered by the audience had a final episode shot in two different ways which the network could choose to play depending on whether the show was renewed for a third season or not.
It was an awesome show but it was cancelled for the same reasons as most other shows: costs and ratings.
Awesome work ! Loved that show too. Please do Forever, which was another good show cancelled after one season.
Can you please cover NBC's The Event, CBS's Extant and Under The Dome?
Both Extant and UTD got decent endings, UTD could have continued as a 'Alien Chase' series but the dome was down and it had strayed so far from the book it was in name only
Would love to have seen The Event continue [as well as Flash Forward, Revolution and many others] but alas, sci-fi on network TV usually self destruct: see how CBS is handling Star Trek: Discovery
The Event suffered from Horrible acting and really stupid writing at the start, it was no surprise it got canned, thats not to say i'm not interested in a what would have happened, UTD never got away from what I call the "STUPID factor", I mean my god the one lady gets shot in the leg, keeps the bandage on the OUTSIDE of her jeans and is RUNNING in a matter of DAYS, just completely lacks common sense, Flash Forward definitely deserved a second season, it was FAR superior to UTD or The Event
4400
Great !! Would like to see.......FlashForward.............The Event..............Revolution
Yes Revolution
Oh man, Flash Forward had one of the best season (er, series) finales ever. Also, that scene of the one guy jumping off a building is really creepy in hindsight, as that actor would end up killing himself in real life.
Yes Flash Forward
i loved The Event...
ed250r23 Revolution was the shit bruh
If a new season wasn’t in the works I wish people would then make a film to finish out
I loved this show! I was so sad when I found out it was canceled
I dont remember making this comment but i still stand by what i said
@@wheatley9793 Me too dude. I’m really hoping for a Netflix remake/renewal.
