Netflix to pick up the canceled 'Terra Nova'?

Can they pickup Firefly? That would be the best recovery of a show ever!!

Yeah man, Terra Nova and Firefly, I' be a happy little boy. lol

This show was ok but the overall story and the writers went about it fairly bad.

People rocking up on the 1st show only to be attacked by another group, then have the animals attacking them later on, then being attacked from the future.

it's pretty messy they should have gone attacked by animals then maybe from the future then attacked from another group etc.

Overall though it's pretty silly to send people to that time as they will all be wiped out in their future.

i wonderred where Tarra Nova went.I will be watching it on my Netflix

@xtago It's a different time line. Didn't you see that one? That's how they don't have to worry about affecting the future time line.

this stinks! I don't have netflix, and even though I like this show, this isn't a reason to get it!

Cool,I like this show and I dont have Netflix either but I bet Im still going to watch it!!!!LMAO

I liked Terra Nova it was entertaining but im not sure about getting netflix just for a show BUT if they also pick up Firefly then i might consider IF the original cast comes back but im not sure how that would work cause if i remember right part of the cast gets killed off in Serenity.

Two things... TN was too simply written. They'd throw complex time storylines & character development at their audience & then try to let old Ozzy & Harriette style family frivolity fill in the rest of the gaps between commercial gaps. It's literally like the guy who thinks he's being funny when he jokes about his crabs in the showers of the locker rooms. Knock those idiotic contradictions out of the show & it could be better.

another thing surrounding the show is that getting NetNuts to start producing it bumpkiss. They haven't even gotten their first series off the ground & Hollywood is already pressuring them to take on new responsibilities? Pretty typical. I read in another site that it is probably more likely that the show may befall another production house rather than go NetNuts.

It's happened before & shows have taken on a new life & done considerable much better. Hell, STNG was completely syndicated & look at that success.

While we're at it, add Deadwood to that list.
I'd get Netflix if it gave me access to discontinued network shows.
Maybe make "concluding the series" a mandatory requirement.
Netflix would attract all the network cancelled show audiences.
They could probably pick up these cancellations for a song.
There is $$$ to be made here, Netflix.

what you expect from a bunch of gnomes knots that can not even come up with a original idea.
you can take all of the Hollywood writers, then put in a room an tell then to come up with a new idea.
and do you know what you should get, another remake of a 20 year old movie or even better a new rendition of a comic book that is it.
wood you expect any thing better, I do not, or how many remakes you have seen lately.
if it was not for marvel comics they be dead.
sin city, X men, ext,ext, or any b rated novels, and top of it all they can even fallow the plots or was it flops.
well its all the same to all of them , is it not.

What I saw of the program LR is right. It was too simply written. Too "Family Oriented" for the type of show, and way too confusing with the different plot lines.
That being said, this whole One-and-out for Sci-Fi shows is getting tired.
Sci Fi will fare MUCH better online.
There is a dichotomy building in the media world.
Broadcast TV needs viewers every week but needs to entertain even when episodes are missed. It needs to be able to grab new users mid-season. All of that makes the week to week reality shows or crime shows or even "creature of the week" shows, all very important to them...
But Sci-Fi/Fantasy watchers much prefer the model which is growing on-line. Where the story can take several seasons to fully develop. This type of show tends to alienate the random watcher.
For example, try to get into "Fringe" right now. It's tough. Far too much back-story. I love the show but there's no way I could get someone to "start" watching right now.
Only online makes these types of stories that we crave, doable.
I did not like Terra-Nova, but I'm glad someone is going to give them a chance. Maybe they'll rough it up a bit, knock the edges off and follow a consistent story arc. That would be great!

TerraNova, Earth last hope :Earth have an opportunity to die from devastion and take a look they arrive to the primitive world to begin the fight again.And what will happen when the big meteor arrive to Earth and kill the dinosaurs what will happens with the Earth last hope.jaja

Please O please pick them up. This is just about the only half decent sci-fi show that is/was still active. Instead I'd rather have Firefly back obviously, but this will do for now.

IF they really wanna impress me, they should pick up Journeyman. That was a very good show in my opinion! I was devastated when it was cancelled :(

Well, if we're listing first season shows we want back I would have to put at the top of the list...

American Horror Story
and
Alphas

American Horror Story is not everyone's cup of tea, but if you are tired of the same ole stuff and you like Horror and are able to suspend belief for an hour or so, this show will blow you away...
But if you just come in on Season 2 you will be completely lost.

And the entire first season of Alphas was pretty much set-up. They haven't really found their stride yet. I hope they get the chance.

I would love to see them pick up Farscape

There's nothing to edit, my signature in settings is blank. My signature has been over 5 lines for about 10 years. I added some more lines last night not knowing about the rule. How could I react to your post ASAP, since I don't log in every day? I understand you're doing your job, but the reaction seemed a little harsh. I have been a very longtime, loyal member to this forum.

hard returns? do you mean the line goes off the page & continues on next line then no as that was not the case?

something to note about the news pages. My signature looks out of spec, but it's only on pages like these. The regular forums look fine.

robtwilk, you had 11 hard returns not the 5 as in the forum rules.

Just like Fox to cancel a show that they say failed that is actually halfway decent. Fox has a history of canceling decent and good shows to make room for crap TV that they will keep on for years

I wish it was only Fox - many great shows are cancelled by networks for no good reason. It is hard to invest any time into a show that may or may not be cancelled at any time.

It truly is a crapshoot. I have watched alphas, which is ok, and that is getting renewed (I figured the actors and cheap sets make it an easy choice)terra nova's sets probably cost more, more well known actors,etc. sunk it.

Well what about us? The viewers get the shaft while they play musical chairs with new shows! Terra Nova had real potential.
