FOX Orders Full Season of Terminator

scc-15-lena-silver-1063-lynotatts-thumb FOX ended weeks of speculation regarding the fate of Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicles Friday by upping its episode order to 22, giving it a complete second season. While ratings haven’t been there, the show has been a critical darling and well received by the franchise’s fanbase. James Hibberd of The Hollywood Reporter says the renewal may be tied to another high-profile sci-fi show, Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. Dollhouse, slated to join the FOX schedule in January, could be delayed due to some creative issues.

Rather than reruns or replacement shows, FOX appears to be banking on Terminator enjoying the ratings bonus from the impending return of American Idol. In any case, one of SFUniverse’s favorite shows will get at least one full season to stretch its creative wings and pick up more viewers.

    i think this show keep going Terminator was always a good atraction for watchers, plus is a good point to continue with this king of program, it could be something endless or maybe end up in a few more season but it will be good

    That sounds cool at the first but they just order a full season worth to close out the show and cancel it afterwards. So they can reap the awards of dvd sales.
