      That is a major issue. They are many here that love these shows (not me) and that is why the childish drama is injected into the show to increase general appeal. The bottom line is money and running reality shows is like owning a printing press. The answer is probably shows like primevil, firefly, ST, SG, falling skies, etc. with reasonable costs. The reality is that a good show will get a few million viewers and adjust the budget accordingly. It will be channels like TNT (cable superstation) that save the genre.

        That and they
        Spoiler:
        kinda blew up Terra Nova in the last episode.

          Agree with that (though I'm not one that loves those shows either). Terra Nova has potential. I could do with a bit less of the teenage drama but otherwise I'd gladly tune in for another season.

              Same here. Most of that has ruined real quality television.

                  I think so long as Steven Speilberg keeps lending his name to this it will get renewed.

                  I suspect he is trying to wet out appitiet for dinos in preparation for Jurassic Park 4.
                  I got nothing!

                      the show was awful. terrible dialogue, terrible acting, lame stories.
                      it shouldn't have been a family drama. it should have been a time traveling dinosaur romp. - which is how it was advertised.

                      if it is by some chance renewed, they'd do themselves a favor and change the show's feel and direction.

                      great show? far from it. more like a lost promise. i can think of at least 5 other FOX shows that were canceled that I'd rather see returned than another season of this show.

                      and I love time travel and dinosaurs.

                        That's the problem though, for every one of us, there are at least 10 others than love the reality crap and hate anything SciFi related, no matter how remote the connection is.

                        It's the same here in the UK, I can safely say that of the 20 or so people that live within a stones throw of me in this street, I am the only one that regularly watches this stuff, all the others prefer soaps and reality tv crap, I've lot count of the number of times they say "oh do you think bimbo#1 will win x-factor?" or "character-g34 has been shot again in Eastenders, who do you think did it?", my answer is usually "WTF I was watching proper TV, you know like TN or Falling Skies". Then they proceed to rip the michael out of me for watching fiction that's never likely to happen - my answer to that is, "you watch a program where someone is shot or killed every other week, that most of the characters don't work but seem to own their own home, drive a brand new car, and have 42" Plasmas in every room of their house, rinse and repeat the same story every 3 months etc. - and your taking the piss out of me for watching a program about dinosaurs or space travel??????".

                        The convo then doesn't proceed much further, but they still prefer their Eastenders over something like Terra Nova everytime and because they out number us in the viewership stakes, the tv companies will continue to produce shows for the lowest common dominator, rather than something with a reasonably decent storyline.

                        Ten a penny I'm afraid.

                            I hope that it gets renewed as well. I just wonder why its first season was so short.

                              Its huge post-production schedule and big budget. When people worry about Terra Nova because of its big budget they forget it has less episodes then most shows

                                If they're gonna do that there should be less commercials and more show...
