Yeah, me too. If only the suits at these networks listened to message-boards as the voice of reason that we are. Perhaps we aren't the target demo but Terminator would still be on the air.

Last Friday night's two-hour broadcast of Virtuality, co-created by Battlestar Galactica's Ronald D. Moore, were low even for the Friday night death slot of Fox. According to Nielsen Virtuality drew in an estimated 1.8 million viewers. That gave the program just a 0.5 rating for the adult demographic slot. Virtuality tied for the lowest-rated program of the evening with ABC's The Goode Family -- except that it was Fox, not ABC, that finished fourth overall for the evening's programming. NBC's programming about Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson's death drew in three to four times the audience as Virtuality.
Until now there was still a sliver of hope that another network could ride in to the rescue and pick up Virtuality as a series. The chances of that happening now are pretty remote.
It's time to face facts. If it ain't a bunch of deluded wannabees auditioning for some singing or talent show, or a hand picked crowd of emotional retards stuck on an island / in a house / in the jungle and shouting at each other, then the demographic they all want - that I shall refer to as 'Dipshit America' - will not tune in and then the networks won't be able to fill up the screens with advertising space selling these morons even more useless shit they don't need.

Bummer. I really enjoyed it and would've been keen to see where it would go.
