The Dead Zone Forums: Dead Zone Cancelled?

The first page on here (TV.COM) says it and the "4400" IS CANCELLED. I'm ticked they keep such crap on the air. It should have atleast been wrapped up.

Monk going to NBC what?

Did they buy it?

This channel use to be my fav with my two of my fav series DZ and Monk.

NBC owns USA Network, and they own both networks shows, thats why NBC shows are shown as repeats on USA the next week....

I completely agree

They could make an one hour and a half/two hours finishing film. Is there any drawback?

Although i can see why there cancelling it (this season being quite awful) they coulld have and should have finish telling the story, if just to tie up lose ends. It's frustrating when they don't finish what they start.

Yeah, it would be nice to have them renew the series, but I think they're not giving the go ahead since they'll need to order a script before they give it a go ahead, and they can't really order scripts now.

I think after the strike, we might see a Dead Zone wrap-up maybe in the summer of 2009, or they'll do a mini-series. It just depends on the actors and the contractile obligations. Either that or this is another ALF.

I read on E! in an article on watch with kristen that the dead zone and 4400 are "Dead" no new episodes to be made. I think this is disgusting that a network would do this to faithful viewers and not even leave us with a series finale, if I didn't have Monk left i would never watch the station again. I hope that the sci-fi network picks up the show

NOOOOOO they cant leave the dead zone like that thats so frigging annoying and unfair they did that with Threshold as well give us a clifhanger and then cancel it

Its crazy that they are allowed to get away with this! I can't believe that networks are just allowed to drop a show in a blink of an eye after it has been airing for 6 years and not even have the decency to wrap up the show with a few more episodes or another season? I can't believe it! its just one mistake after another with these stupid cancelations.

From the last season of the show, I was getting the sense that the writer(s) for the show were setting up the next season by making this season more about building up the characters stories and sub-stories that will build up to something more for a possible next season. Although, we all know now that it's not going to happen any time soon. I'm getting pretty disappointed with all the networks lately and they are not realizing that these shows have potential. But, in reality (I guess) all they care is about big ratings. Even then, they are pretty much blind to how to get big ratings too. Sorry for the rambling, pretty much all the shows I like are getting no where lately.

Sometimes people you have to let the networks know how you feel about something. Time to fight!

It is a shame it ends, but I've gone through this with several shows since 2000, so it doesn't hurt as much. Especially after last seasson.

I think it is more or less the writers fault with Dead Zone, and not the strike, the direction of season 6. They changed it and in a way the show lost its original "soul" to me.

Far too often writers and creators just keep trying to prolong a series and the stories and characters get stretched thin. They should have just treated season 6 as the last, and ended the armagedeon plot and left it open for future stuff. In this way, you keep all fans happy, you close the primary story of the first 5 seasons, and should it end since it was on its last leg anyway, everything gets wrapped up.

They had to know they were on a short leash...they didn't make the most of it. It is the Network's fault to not offer a couple of hours to wrap it up, and it is the writers fault from just trying to keep stringing the show along for 20 years.

I'd rather have 3 or 4 amazingly good seasons and wrap it up, then get left hanging forever.

No matter what show it is, if a show has been on for a few years and hasn't had a chance for a season finale I think it should be a clause in the contract that a series finale has to be made. It's not right to the viewers or the actors. If anyone knows of a way to contact the studios to get us our deserved finale please post it here, I myself have no idea what to do

I agree, why do they keep cancelling shows without telling the whole story. It's frustrating. It's happened to me before, but it's still annoying. The least they can do is make a movie....

I agree with above. HOWEVER, the writers killed the show. Instead of Johnny running into criminals with Sheriff Bannerman who they killed off, dealing with the moral problems of the leader of Heritage Church who we virtually never saw last season, doing guy stuff and dead zone stuff with his friend who went to do pro physical therapy we get to see Sarah and their brat son both whine about everything on earth while living at Johnny's house. WOW, what a way to put everyone to sleep in the last season. I think the writers on Dead Zone went on strike before the season started.
