Awake Cancelled

[open_the_blinds]

It's official. NBC gave Awake (and several other shows) the axe as of yesterday. :(

"NBC dropped the axe Friday on four freshman series Are You There, Chelsea?, Awake, Bent and Best Friends Forever. Awake, from Lone Star's Kyle Killen, drew just 6.24 million viewers in its series premiere, but dropped down to 2.5 million viewers on Thursday."

Waaaahhhhhh!!!! So how long until new episodes run out?

Last I knew, the 2-hour finale was supposed to be next week on the 17th.

I am so annoyed about this that if I started to explain how annoyed I was all that would come out of my fingertips on my keyboard would be a string of expletives.
GAH!!!

Maybe if the idiots at NBC promoted it AND didn't put it across from the Mentalist AND didn't have a c**p line up in front of it (the Office lost its funny ages ago), people would have watched it. Idiots.

The last episode is May 24.

Really? 'Cause according to this tweet from the Awake Twitter Feed the finale is May 17th.

Hmmm... bizarre. First it was May 24, then they changed it to May 17 with showing the last two episodes, and they flipped back again to May 17 & 24th. I guess they changed their minds AGAIN! Perhaps this is in reponse to the cancellation. Ah well...
Thanks!

A brilliant series with an outstanding cast and NBC succumbs to a public that has dumbed down!!! The majority of Americans are incapable of being entertained if they are required to think… People want to be hit over the head with the obvious dribble… I am so disappointed!!!!!!!

Shameful how such an intelligent production wasn't given a fair shot. Any cable networks looking for a fabulous production? Please revive Awake and provide a thinking audience with a quality program. Besides, WE NEED JASON!

I just started watching this show through hulu. When I first heard about it I wasn’t excited but when I began watching I was hooked!!! I wish Netflix would pick up Awake! I hear they are interested in picking up cancelled shows - fingers crossed!

I'm in Australia and download this show from iTunes every week.

Simply don't understand why this show would be cancelled. Story line, depth of characters, plot, etc all outstanding.

It reminds me of the original Life on Mars show in the UK.

Very disappointed....
