It’s official: CBS kills off ‘Threshold’

In what is probably the worst-kept secret in sci fi TV, CBS confirmed what 1001-or-so fan sites already knew: Threshold, Brannon Braga's latest science fiction TV show, is joining ABC's Night Stalker in the dustbin of history.

CBS sited low rating of the show in its new Tuesday at 10/9c p.m. timeslot. It aired there once, when the competition included the final hour and biggest awards of the "American Music Awards."

ON average, Threshold attracted about 7.7 million viewers, according to TV industry press reports. That made it the lowest-rated hour-long drama on CBS.

Four finished but unaired episodes of the show remain. CBS has no plans to show any of those episodes on the network. Instead, the network plans to air specials or repeat episodes of of other CBS programs in the timeslot.

David Speakman

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."
