CBS cancels ‘Threshold’

A report in the Futon Critic shows CBS has yanked sci fi action series Threshold off the air next week and replaced it with a repeat airing of crime procedural drama, Criminal Minds.

Nov. 22 was the debut of Threshold in the 10 p.m. Tuesday night time period, where it faced stiff competition from the final hour of the American Music Awards on ABC and a November sweeps episode of Law & Order on NBC.

Threshold failed in attracting a sizable audience, it had a 2.1 rating in the prized 18-49 age demographic, less than half of the competition. The ratings number also was a series low for Threshold and the lowest rating CBS has had in the timeslot all year.

Reports say CBS has ordered production of the show shut down, canceling its previous order of three additional yet-to-be-filmed episodes. CBS has not yet officially release a statement on the series fate, but for Threshold fans, the future looks rather bleak.

David Speakman - known in fannish circles as Davodd - is recovering from almost 20 years as a professional writer and journalist in mainstream print and broadcasting. He recently "retired" from journalism, citing that too many mega-mergers caused news focus to shift from serving the public interest to serving up eyeballs to advertisers. Currently he works full time as a paralegal while attending night law school. A member of N3F on and off since 1984, David's fannish activities in recent days have been curtailed due to time and budget constraints of being a law school student; although he does manage to squeeze in episodes of Battlestar Galactica, issues of Weird Tales magazine and an odd superhero movie "now and then."
