According to TelevisionWeek and TVweek.com, SciFi channel has decided not to produce any additional episodes of Tremors due to soft ratings. Seems the ratings dropped off from 1.6 and 2.0 down to 1.1. :rollin:

Expect to hear a lot from the "Save Tremors" movement in the coming months. I think his name is Dave.

The latest ratings for Tremors for the June 27 episode was 0.9. Before it went on hiatus for two months the ratings had dipped to 0.8 (or was it 0.6? I can't remember). Either way, it could never hold on to the ratings it got for the premier episode. Every week it dropped. Oh well, I guess it's time for skiffy to bring on them "Dead Lawyers"!

Shipscat I saw it in the print version its in the News Briefs so maybe its in that section.
SciFi channel also has TWO full page ads - one for the return of Taken in December and one for Battlestar Galactica.

g_s, dang it that cracked me up. I had a rough day and that just really made me laugh. Thanks!:rofl:
Poor Dave...I hope he can write really really really fast.
I tried to watch Tremors. I was even a bit buzzed when I did and I still couldn't make it past the first 5 microts.

*Sigh* It's times like this that us Scapers can take a load off and relax... When a show that should be canceled, is canceled.
Goodbye, Tremors.
Is FarScape gonna take back its throne, then? Probably not... Not yet, at least. The last thing I want to see is, replacing Tremors, Scream:The Series, though. You know they'd do it... Sci-Fi's turning into the Horror Network as of late.

So DAVE is the one viewer that Tremors had.
I was wondering who was watching it.
Go Dave! Rally yourself around yourself.
I hope you have multiple personalities to get more stuff done.
:D

Sounds like it's time for brainstorming at the ol' Sci Fi Channel. Here's a suggestion, the perfect companion piece for Scare Tactics: Spew Tactics. You want real life? How about Real Nausea?
Why doesn't skiffy just shrivel up and die already?

Dear Skiffy,
I just wanted to suggest that you consider creating a new reality show about dreams. Lately I have been having these horrendous nightmares, in which a giant worm with Shannon D.'s head has been chasing me around John Edward's set. I feel like hurling everytime I think about it.

P.S. Dave says he wants more Tremors, btw

As a man named Dave I think I'm speaking for Dave's everywhere when I ask you stop associating our names with the likes of Tremors. Please refrain from this defamation of character or I'll be forced to bring a class-action lawsuit against you.
In closing, Tremros gone? Why am I not surprised.

Just remember, I know where you all live and will have my revenge! (g) Now where did I put that stash of voodoo dolls?
Tremors is not entirely dead! A fourth Tremors movie is out there, just waiting to drag you underground!
SaveTremors shall rise!

"Save Tremors" movement? You have got to be kidding. That low budget dren was.... stinking dren. I watched one episode the other day.... waiting for Stargate. Tremors sucks the big one.
Battlestar Galactica is supposed to be a mini-series. I would make a suggestion for another remake I would like to see, but I do not believe Sci-fi is capable of handling themselves as a Science Fiction channel. And the comment was right- They are becoming a horror channel instead. The first scare was cancelling Farscape.
(idiots they are)

Ah.....the satisfaction, for once. :highfive:
Two crappy pathetic excuses for programming (anyone remember a little nightmare called 'The Dream Team'??) thankfully yanked from the screen.
Wow....look what return Skiffy got for the oodles of $$$ it spent 'promoting' those shows.
Now *that's* money well spent. :applaud:
*snort* And they had the nerve to say that Farscape wasn't cost-effective......BLEH!!!
*******Stars, playin' with smilies....
:spin: :hi: :boogie:
:dog: <---looks like Gromit!
:rooster: <---looks like evil penguin in disguise!
Now don't pick on Dave. He liked his show too. Poor Dave.
Just remember, Skiffy hates us all equally and wishes we would all go far, far away so we don't make them cry anymore. :hugz:
p.s. it is gromit :dog: and it is the evil penguin :rooster: :D
