Thanks to Laura3341 for the heads up.
BC is taking medical drama Saving Hope off the schedule.
Instead, the network will make the final two episodes of season one available online, The Hollywood Reporter confirms. The two episodes were originally scheduled to air Sept. 8 and 15 and will be replaced by encores of America's Got Talent and The Voice.

I guess this unofficially confirms that there's no way in hell NBC buys the broadcast rights for season 2. Saving Hope will be a Canada-only show next year.
ReplyDeleteNo surprised there as i knew NBC would f**k it as they do with other shows who have potential to see second season!!!
ReplyDeleteF**k you NBC and your stupid decision's to kick off saving hope!!! from the schedule!!!!
Not really a surprise. Although, I am surprised it lasted on air as long as it did (well that and the fact that Canada renewed it). I appreciated the realistic take on medicine, but the two sides of the story never coalesced.
ReplyDelete...SO pathetic predictable.?????
ReplyDeleteNo Andy Canada renewed Saving Hope for a second season.The U.S. took it off the air.
ReplyDeleteAnd NBC strikes once again!
Oh, I kinda read Raising Hope and was pretty much shocked.
ReplyDeleteThe ratings were quite bad but NBC hardly even promoted the show!
ReplyDeleteSooooo ticked off about this. I genuinely like this show, and of course them NBC had to go and get rid of it. Now how will I get to see Michael Shanks??
ReplyDeleteNBC shouldn't even bother buying new shows to air considering they're just like Kiwi channels who play a certain amount then rip it off because THEY don't like it. Screw them all.
ReplyDeletewell i'll be finding my ways to watch the canadian broadcast online for season 2, another network messing up again, much anger but then reality comes that i shouldn't be surprised at all by networks.
ReplyDeleteanyone knows online when exactly?
ReplyDeleteits online the day after Canada airs the episode.
ReplyDeleteThis show is doing fine in Canada viewer wise. Over 2 million. I watch a show that airs in Canada that only has a little over a million viewers and it's over 5 seasons old now.
ReplyDeleteGuess I'll be watching on Amazon. :/ It's worth it, but it sucks.
ReplyDeleteYeah NBC always cancels the shows. They should face the fact that they're never going to get as much viewers as CBS (another channel I hate for canceling shows- come on, 7-8 million viewers is amazing compared to other channels, jeez CBS always has to be top dog).
ReplyDeleteRatings requirements are much lower for Canada. I don't know what the ratings were here in the US, surely they weren't good or NBC wouldn't have canceled it. Edit: Ratings were abysmal--like 0.5, ouch!
ReplyDeleteBut as much as Canada and the US are very similar, we do have differently tastes in television.

Its not that long ago when NBC was the network to beat,they were the golden one then followed CBS,ABC then Fox.It all comes down to personal,and how they decide to run the network and what programming they choose.Eventually NBC will once again be on the upswing,as ABC shows start to get old,same for CBS..The only way i see anything changing is when they all take the ratings system the way it is and change it.....who knows at that point what will happen,specially in the beginning....
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm saying for the past few years they have been canceling like 2/3 of their shows and the survival rate of a show is low. No matter what they put on air lately, they usually sink. WB used to do better than the CW is doing now too. I'm just saying they can't just look at the other channels, have to look at how their shows in general do and base decisions on that a bit too.
ReplyDeleteFound it on Amazon. Also free on Hulu.com
ReplyDeleteDon't know if Hulu will get the next season though, or if Amazon even will?
Not only that, Canada has a smaller population.
ReplyDeleteFirst, this is a great time for fantastic television. Second, "America" also loves medical dramas. Third, Saving Hope wasn't original. It was a generic medical drama 80% of the time, then they crammed in Charlie's storyline that almost never matched up with the rest of the story and that was a pretty basic ghost, coma show. Of recent date, A Gifted Man was similar and it was much better show (still not "good," but more cohesive and hey Patrick Wilson), but still not enough to stay on the air.
ReplyDeleteWhile I think the procedural does have it's problems for some people and I can understand wanting something new, Saving Hope isn't that. It was a procedural and a dull one at that. I applaud them for keeping it reasonable and, for the most part, professional, unfortunately they couldn't do that and keep it entertaining.
