  • I can't believe it was cancelled, it was such an amazing show!

    the character developments were incredible, but it also had loads of action to keep the show interesting (e.g. the tornado episode). i cant believe they cancelled it after four weeks: it hardly seems like they gave it a chance to show how good it actually is.

    luckily in the UK all episodes have been aired, and so I have seen them all. The last episode ends with the series begging for more, its unfair to fans to leave them needing an answer when they so desperately want to know what happens to all the characters!

    In conclusion, it was an amazing show, but it doesnt look like we have much of a chance of reviving it with that petition.moreless

    Exciting, fast-paced, psychological/Conspiracy thriller, which started with a family in a car fleeing the law and just didn't down the pace (or the paranoia!)during the 9 cliff-hanging episodes shown (in the UK, only 3 in the US). Playing on the paranoia involved when the 5 Members of the Rader family have to leave their familiar, (seemingly!) safe lives behind to adapt to new lives/identities whilst constantly looking over their shoulders and trying to untangle the truth in a murder/conspiracy which implicates the Father.

    Great Show! Why was it cancelled? No prior PR and shown late. Network Heads are so Dumb!moreless

  • This show was about a family of 3 kids running away, because the husband, portrayed by Donnie Wahlberg, was accused of murdering one of his co-workers, after finding her throat stabbed, bleeding to death, on the floor of an apartment.moreless

    I had mixed feelings all along from the beginning, but I decided to give the show a chance, thinking that it could pick up. After the first episode, which in my opinion was kind of dull, every time he pulled out his PDA, I decided to watch the second episode... And it was practically the same, pretty dull, with little action. Again, he had pulled out his PDA and looks at the word Kensington ominously. Is Kensington supposed to be important?? The truth is, after his display of the PDA for what seems like the 10th time, I didn't really care anymore, and I was going to watch the third episode to give it one last chance, but I heard it moved to another night, and then I didn't bother to watch it, because sunday night is already a busy night for me. My vote, 7.0/10, which is pretty generous of me.moreless

    This show was excellent CW did not give it a chance if they gave it more than 3 episodes it probably would have done better. The show had great actors and a fabolus story line. It was my favorite show until stupid CW cancelled it. What where they thinking giving that spot to Reba. I can`t stand Reba for 30min know I am going to suffer an hour of the dumbest show on Television. C.W. you will regret ever doing this this is your lost don`t cry when Reba gets you know where and you still would of wished you had Runaway.moreless

  • Another show goes to the television graveyard!

    At first I was captivated by this show, but slowly I was less keen with it, granted it only held out to 3 or so episodes anyway. This show might have been better with a little more originality to it. Some of what was happening was totally unoriginal and boring. The actors did a good job with what they had to work with. This show also had a tough break because it was a new show on a new station. There were greater expectations for the show than it could ever achieve. Being on the CW, it was tough, if it had been on another station it might have faired better.moreless
