Wonderfalls cancelled
April 4, 2004 on 8:49 pm | In Fandom, Movies and TV | Comments OffJust when I was starting to make viewing Wonderfalls a regular habit, Fox decided to cancel it. Grrr.
Some thoughts on the cancellation from Tim Minear, one of the exec. producers and Buffy alumnus can be found on the buffistas.org boards here and here and here. A sample:
I think it was USA Today that said this may be “the wrong show, in the wrong season, on the wrong night, on the wrong network.” Just so. I do think market forces were at work here, too. Not just incompetence.
Actor William Sadler also had this comment on his message board:
…I guess I agree though, it seems such a foolish and wasteful thing to create such a cool show, shoot 13 episodes (at maybe two million dollars each), air four and throw the rest away. When I heard that there had been a shakeup among the FOX execs just before Christmas, I immediately got a bad feeling about the fate of our show. I have been involved in projects before that were orphaned and left to die by a change in network or studio management. The first time was a film entitled “Project X”, but there have been others. Apparently, it’s never in the new guys ‘best interest’ to have the old guys pet projects succeed.
