Category: Cowboy Pete’s TV Roundup

I’ve been a strident critic of Fox and their pull the plug mentality on anything SF-related. So in the interests of fairness, I have to give props to Fox for giving a full season commitment to “Terminator.” Let’s hope that those who are reluctant to tune in figuring they don’t want to get too attached to yet another doomed Fox SF show will take that as incentive to come aboard.

Be here because, if you’re not, you won’t be.

I’ve known about this show since before ABC started promoting it. Len Wein gave me a blow by blow of the pilot at San Diego since he’d been sent an advance screener. At the time I was impressed at how effusive Len was about the show. But then when the network started promoting it harder than I’ve ever seen it push ANY show, I had to think he was on to something.

He was.
