Which Axed U.S Show Would You Save?
ATV Today asks which cancelled/axed show from America would you save given the chance?
The Secret Circle – The CW (Starring Gale Harold, Thomas Dekker and Britt Robertson)
ATV Today has extensively covered the back-lash against The CW over its decision to axe The Secret Circle. Fans of the supernatural witch based drama are up in arms and have launched a campaign to save the series – a campaign that given the passion of fans could just work. The CW’s decision to axe The Secret Circle certainly came as a surprise as it was a given for renewal throughout most of its first season and the pairing up of it with The Vampire Diaries, on Thursday evenings, made perfect sense. After all both dramas are based on novels written by L.J Smith, adapted for television by Kevin Williamson and revolve around the supernatural.
Terra Nova – Fox (Starring Shelley Conn, Jason O’Mara and Stephen Lang)
Arguably the most ambitious drama of recent years with a price tag to make eyes water – reportedly Terra Nova cost $4 million per episode! The drama revolved around colonists from the near future who escape a polluted a dying Earth by travelling back millions of years in time to the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs still ruled the Earth. While its ratings were not massive they were still good enough to justify a renewal – especially as it attracted a large family audience – but in the end Terra Nova was killed by its expensive premise. There was talk of moving it elsewhere but given its so expensive to film its unlikely to be picked up by anyone else.
Alcatraz – Fox (Starring Jorge Garcia, Sam Neil and Sarah Jones)
J.J Abrams shows generate a lot of buzz – not just within the media but also with fans of the producer – and also come with high expectations. Alcatraz was, in many ways, a show loaded with expectations that failed to deliver. Ratings dropped week-on-week and the series just didn’t capture the audiences imagination or even the critics. While Fringe quickly became a cult favourite with a devoted, loyal fan-base and was able to generate buzz, Alcatraz just fizzled out. While it’s ratings could have justified a second season there was little chance Fox would have two struggling J.J Abrams shows on its network and predicted, wisely, that Fringe was a wiser choice to go with.
Pan Am – ABC (Starring Christina Ricci, Michael Mosley and Margot Robbie)
The 1960s air-line drama which, to be honest, would have been more comfortable on a cable broadcaster. The fact that Pan Am was widely touted as ABC’s answer to Mad Men only strengthens the argument. Much like The Playboy Club on NBC the drama series was misplaced on a broadcast network given its period setting and premise. Pan Am could have been a big hit for a cable broadcaster – it had all the right ingredients – but on ABC it was a flop. There is some talk about a cable broadcaster picking up the series but for now that’s all it is – talk.
Ringer – The CW (Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ioan Gruffudd and Nestor Carbonell)
Where did it all go wrong for Ringer? The drama started off so well for The CW and the performance of its first few episodes seemed to guarantee the series a renewal. But then something went wrong, viewers began to turn off and for the latter part of its season Ringer was a dead-cert for cancellation. The drama was Sarah Michelle Gellar’s first leading role in a television series since Buffy the Vampire Slayer and there was certainly a lot of interest in it. The interest quickly waned though and the demise of Ringer surprised few.
Harry’s Law NBC (Kathy Bates, Nate Corddry and Brittany Snow)
Ah poor Harry’s Law. The legal drama was sadly dispatched by NBC despite having pretty decent ratings. If the future of the drama was decided on total numbers alone then Harry’s Law would have been renewed. Alas its fate was instead decided on its 18-49 rating which was pretty low and so the drama was cancelled. Advertisers are obsessed wit the 18-49 age group overlooking older viewers shamefully.
You can also vote for CBS’s long-running detective drama CSI: Miami and ABC’s soapy drama GCB (Good Christian Bitches). If your preferred choice isn’t on our poll simply post the show’s name below!
The poll itself is located on the right side of our website between the Recent Stories box and Recent Comments box.

Fans of the show Chuck helped to save it by “Eating Fresh” with Subway, a sponsor of the show. Who sponsors TSC? #TSC
The Secret Circle hands down, it was in the same time slot as Grey’s Anatomy and Person Of Interest, one that is a powerhouse and the other being the first season had a lot of viewers. My mother and I dropped Grey’s Anatomy to be able to watch the Secret Circle. We were shocked that is was cancelled, especially since we are big fans of Grey’s Anatomy but The Secret Circle was even better in our opinion and worth not watching Grey’s Anatomy for 2011- 2012 season. I believe if TSC was given another chance, by a 2nd season being granted, The CW would see they have another “Charmed” on their hands, that could be 8 seasons worth of fans, if not more.
The Secret Circle!!!
Please Bring Back The Secret Circle!!
The Plot for season 2 has great potential!
1.bad ass blackwell family
2. The skull
3. the infinities! – the circle get individual elemental powers!
4. bad ass demons!
Come on its a great oppertunity to pick up millions of viewers!!
The Secret Circle of course! CW were completely and utterly crazy to cancel TSC..:-/
This amazing show should get a season 2 we all love this show and it should be renewed! TSC is by far the best Sci-Fi series yet, i love this show and it should be renewed @ABC family @CHCH @CBS @syfy @Showtime please pick up this outstanding, breathtaking series on! This would make millions of people happy again !!!!! Thank you.
SAVE THE SECRET CIRCLE!!!! How can they axe such an amazing show, yet save some that are truly awful? My entire family fell in love with this show from the very first episode! Whoever decides (hopefully) to save this show will pick up millions of viewers, and is a chance for them to gain more viewers for their other shows. I know I’ve done that, when a tv show cancelled a show and another picked it up, I discovered so many new tv shows that I hardly had time for them all. Just some food for thought for the networks, but pleases, from all us TSC fans, SAVE THE SECRET CIRCLE
I guess I’ll be the first to break the trend, but I think it should be The Secret Circle… (As if I would actually choose another show)
please renew serect circle or someone picked up, this show is to good to just in
I loved the secret circle! Cw failed us when they took off veronica mars so they’re going to take another love show off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was rated #3 I don’t understand why anyone would want to cancel it. It was amazing. and it did have a lot of the vampire diaries fans like myself, and it would’ve been huge.
The Secret Circle! It was such a great show. Please, please, PLEASE give it a chance! It was such a great show, I always looked forward to it every Thursday after The Vampire Diaries. This show needs another Season.
The Secret Circle, definitely. It was an amazing show and did excellent with ratings, so I really am clueless as to why the CW let it go.

Save my circle. Its my lifffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I will end up addicted to McDonalds if it ends and die young. Please help, keep it on.
Silly people, its only TV! Read a book FFS!
I like them all.
How dare you Kennedy! TV is important to lots of people. If no one said anything about TV Shows they would just show rubbish. We want quality!
Maybe they should merge together the two popular ones and have Harry’s Circle?
That’s a pensive comment.
ROFLMAO, Harry’s Circle. I’d watch that.
Maybe they should do a lottery style thing and the one pulled out wins another series.
hmmmm, not fussed really.
SECRET CIRCLE
LOL the hand bags are out!
If they’re popular why axe any?
I’d bring back Murder She Wrote instead.
I’d rather watch the A-Team
Sunset Beach… BRING IT BACK
Yay! Sunset Beach
PLEASE SAVE THE SECRET CIRCLE 100%
There is a campaign to send shoes to the bosses who cancelled Harry’s Law to show how popular it is. Please find out more at:

I would vote to save Ringer. The show had SO much potential and was intriguing week after week.
I think it’s disgusting that international ratings are never taken into account when a series is just starting out. We in the UK have to wait for AGES for a tv series or a new season, and more often than not, the series ends up being cancelled before we even get past episode 2 or 3.
I would also like Damages extended and The Comeback brought back, as it was the ONLY genuinely, naturally funny american comedy, and the god awful Two and a Half Men cancelled immediately!
SAVE THE SECRET CIRCLE! SAVE THE SECRET CIRCLE! SAVE THE SECRET CIRCLE! SAVE THE SECRET CIRCLE! SAVE THE SECRET CIRCLE! SAVE THE SECRET CIRCLE! SAVE THE SECRET CIRCLE! SAVE THE SECRET CIRCLE!

Please Save The Secret Circle!!!
Save The Secret Circle!!

SAVE SECRET CIRCLE!!!!

Secret Circle and Harry’s Law.
While Kathy Bates has some tough competition in the 2012 Emmy Nominees, I do believe that she deserves to the Emmy, not solely based on her performance in Harry’s Law, but because of the circumstances involving it’s cancellation. While an Emmy Nomination means a lot for the series, I strongly believe an Emmy win would mean that much more to bringing justice in a series that’s all about justice.
