We’re hearing the controversial thriller Stalker is “99 percent” canceled as well. CBS had no comment.

please no!!!
ReplyDeleteLol "99 percent cancelled"
ReplyDeleteCYBER will be renewed and everyone above will flip.
ReplyDeleteShame. One of the only crime drama's that I enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteget rid of the question mark and make it official
ReplyDeleteTURN ON YOUR LOCATION CBS I JUST WANNA TALK
ReplyDeleteWTF is a 99% cancelled?
ReplyDeleteI will miss this show :( Please somebody offer Maggie Q regular role in other TV show ASAP
ReplyDeleteI truly ended up loving this one, but I knew from the moment I started watching it (December) that it was a dead show walking so it doesn't hurt like it normally would. Still sucks though.
ReplyDeleteThe show was really good.Maggie Q killed it!
ReplyDeletethe horrible review didn't help in viewers tuning in
ReplyDeleteUghh, I'm gonna miss this show so much. ):
ReplyDeleteMaggie Q back to the CW arrow as Lady Shiva hopefully......
ReplyDeleteNo! It was the best new network drama of the season and the only one I really liked.
ReplyDeleteMaggie Q was awesome, I'm going to miss her. Heres hoping she joins Disney's Mulan, I think she'd be excellent :)
ReplyDeleteHope Maggie Q gets an action oriented role. She would make a great recurring guest star on Person of Interest.
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly made it so controversial? I really liked it but I didn't see anything controversial about it.
ReplyDeleteDon't know exactly but the critics went after it pretty hard.
ReplyDeletepoor kevin williamson and David Shore.....their shows combine all gone
ReplyDeleteThey shouldn't have had such a limiting title. If they had something more generic it would've allowed them to explore other issues. It's too bad. Love Maggie Q
ReplyDeleteApparently, it was terribly misogynistic because most of the victims were female. Critics apparently did not realised that it also featured one of the most badass female character ever...
ReplyDeleteCritics can suck it. I'll decide if I like a show not someone else.

ReplyDeleteI'll still be enjoying the last two episodes, great series.
ReplyDeleteFuck you CBS. I'm gonna send you a stalker picture of the inside of your building to you in the mail, you'll be all like woa nooo, how did this guy know what it looks like inside.
ReplyDeleteMichael Ausiello confirms the cancellation on twitter
ReplyDeleteIt's like New Coke. It's almost the official thing, but not quite.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't. If it's renewed, it's purely a syndication play.
ReplyDeleteLOL :) Excellent.
ReplyDeleteConfirmed: @NiceGuyVan is a CBS employee. ;) :)
ReplyDeleteWell, if this is true f*ck you CBS! It was a great show you didn't even give a chance by replacing by that bad and boring CSI spin off! I hope all your procedurals from now on to crash and burn!
ReplyDeletepoor Kevin Willimanson - two shows in one day
ReplyDeleteUGH, that makes all three shows I was hoping for dead. Stalker, Helix, and Forever. This sux. Stalker didn't really get off the ground for alot of reasons. They were too slow in giving character backstory. Jack was a punching bag for most of the season. It didn't really pick up till the last few eps. Given another season, I think it would have come up with some good stories. I'm disappointed. I hope Maggie and Dylan get some good roles on shows I want to watch.
ReplyDeleteStalking jokes incoming! *dives for cover*
ReplyDeletePoor Les is going to be stalked by Stalker fans now...
ReplyDeleteBye Stalker! It was nice stalking ya! And remember nobody will miss you!
ReplyDeleteDamn, loved the Pilot despite the so-called 'contrversy'. REALLY want to know about Person of Interest now!
ReplyDeleteWhy get invested in a new show when it's only gonna get canceled? I think next fall season I won't watch any new series until they get renewed for a 2nd season.
ReplyDeleteShowmageddon continues! Upfront season is so much fun.
ReplyDeleteSeriously!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish, and If I was I would do worse. They would never know what hit them.
ReplyDeleteis scorpion and madame secretary the only new show that returning along with NCIS:NO.....all others are dead.......cyber should be cancelled
ReplyDelete(Tears rolling down)
ReplyDeleteCan't believe this. I am terrible at choosing shows to invest on CBS. Golden Boy didn't work out. Intelligence didn't work out. Now Stalker. Dylan McDermott just can't seem to get a grasp on CBS.
Fingers crossed for Warner Bros. shopping the show around. TNT?
Cyber won't be.
ReplyDeleteA van driven by a nice guy?
ReplyDelete:P
"99 percent cancelled"?! NO! I want 1000%
ReplyDeleteYes! yes it should! this was far better than Cyber! I hope it bombs!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be him right now. But on the bright side, he can always go back to Vampire Diaries. He is still a producer on the show.
ReplyDeleteThat's my plan from now on
ReplyDeletelmao that cracked me up really good, my co worker is like share the joke.
ReplyDeleteI did that with 12 Monkeys this year. Next season I'm adding more shows to that list.
ReplyDeleteOverall, how many cancellations today? Nine? Or ten?
ReplyDelete:(. Ok but now let's cast Maggie Q somewhere where her talent can be fully shown and appreciated
ReplyDeleteThe Bear must be choking on them hidden in corner ;-)
ReplyDeleteCBS should start annoucing renew of their show.....should be meltdown if XXX show get cancelled over YYY show
ReplyDeleteNo way. The Bear has extra freezers to store all these shows. It will eat them at its leisure.
ReplyDeleteWell this sucks. Loved this show, hopefully there's a good ending.
ReplyDeleteI did a rough count and I'm up to 15 since last night.
ReplyDeletePhew!!!
ReplyDeleteThat many? Damn...
ReplyDeleteThe broadcast networks like to clean out most of the dead weight before upfront week so they can focus on selling their shiny new programs.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to cry
ReplyDeleteAnd that they've done...
ReplyDeleteI knew it was gonna die but stil enough with the csi and ncis i needed somethin new and this was it back to just watchin poi
ReplyDeletehow would it be syndication play? Cyber is far from reaching feasible numbers for any network to even consider it as a potential time-filler.
ReplyDeleteObviously the second Cyber would reach an episode count of 30+ episodes it'd have the "CSI" title advantage but not at this point
lol, no one can save THAT ship. He should just produce a new show altogether with a batch of his former co-workers.
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda sad to see so many freshman shows bite the dust (duh'doy, of course freshman shows are more likely to bite it but most shows with a rather solid premise bit it this year..wich is sad)
ReplyDeleteGuess it's back to more old-school procedural heavy television with a no-mystery angle
CBS pitch would be that they are having patience with it and they bring up how lucrative the CSI brand is in syndication to try to make an early appeal to the syndication market.
ReplyDeleteKevin Williamson did not do the show any favors at TCA with his inability to give reasonably intelligent answers to questions about what the critics found objectionable with the series. He also acted like a 5 year old on twitter the day after TCA when he did not like what one TV critic had tweeted about the show.
ReplyDeleteI would like to hear that CSI and Cyber are canceled
ReplyDeleteWaiting is killing me.....I need to know if H50 is renewed? Do we even know if we will hear about it tonight?
ReplyDeleteAt least The Following was cancelled. Stalker actually got better towards the end so I am mad as well.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, the variety of procedurals is growing. Along with the new zombie procedural, we're getting a Frankenstein procedural, a Lucifer procedural, ABC Family is getting a sci-fi procedural, and we're not even finished with pickups yet.
ReplyDeleteHey Kevin Williamson, take Kevin Bacon, James Purefoy, Maggie Q and Dylan McDermott and write a whole new super gory show, and sell it to cable TV.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if someone ever became a villain because he couldn't take all the cancellation anymore.

I'm about to call them and just breath heavily.
ReplyDeleteGreat. Now we have more room on the schedule for more NCIS and CSI spinoffs, because god forbid CBS come out with anything original. Good for you CBS.
ReplyDeleteGutted. Absolutely gutted. Between this and Battle Creek CBS have ruined much hope of anything.
ReplyDeleteMaggie Q needs to join The Originals as the first female ( warrior/slayer ) of The Five , that we know of and come after Elijah, Rebekah, and Klaus HARD !
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteI'd settle with Cyber being cancelled only because it replace this show, plus I don't like it, but mostly because they used it to replace this show.
ReplyDeleteIf she joined Arrow I'd prefer it be as Talia al Ghul, Ra's other daughter/Nyssa ' s half sister.
ReplyDeleteLOL! well, this season is sure to, at the very least, last him all summer.
ReplyDeleteExpected, but still sad :(
ReplyDeleteAnd I hate EW and TVGuide for taking a last punch at the show by saying how controversial or bad it was. I'm sure they didn't watch any episode after the pilot or else they would have known that this was quite a good series.
Not at all, sometimes procedurals can be fun (Forever) but mainly they`re ment for nothing but syndication purposes to give networks good slot fillers with light and easy to follow storylines that are wrapped after one episode (CSI, NCIS, Castle, Bones....almost every procedural)
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to recover from the shock I got with Supergirl being a procedural. Hope they re-think that decision and retool it into a superhero-procedural (like the Flash) instead of crime solving
Guess that is the case, if I were CBS I'd just give Cyber a straight 50 episode order. Like...one and done to get it over with
ReplyDeleteI will laugh when half of these new shows that are picked up by the networks get cancelled and the networks will be like what have we done and now we lost alot of money lol.
ReplyDeletenot shocked but still sad :(
ReplyDeleteTalia al Ghuk
ReplyDeleteThank you "calls them"
ReplyDeleteI'm Kind of hope that Maggie Q would join DC TV Universe as Wonder Woman so she can guest star on Arrow, Flash and Supergirl
ReplyDeleteI could never get into The Following but I love Stalker I thought pair well with Criminal Minds
ReplyDeleteThere really is a gif for everything.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise but for a second I thought this would get a pity renewal... My cousin is gonna be mad lol
ReplyDeleteNO why? urg
ReplyDeleteBig bummer for me as I really enjoyed this show and the good arc of the season and wanted to see where they would take the show, but sigh..... RIP
ReplyDeleteDammit! It was a great show too! They shouldn't have gone on that break. It royally screwed them and last week's preemption was a crappy move on CBS's part. Very disappointed.
ReplyDeleteSad and disappointed to hear that Stalker is cancelled, but I'm not surprised either. I enjoyed watching this show from the very beginning, just hope the finale will conclude the series in a satisfactory way.
ReplyDeleteToo bad, It was very good! But, I guess, they thought that, since they killed both of Beth's stalkers, then the show had no meaning to exist anymore... LOL...
ReplyDeleteHonestly that ship is in okay shame. A lot better than five and four right now. plus with no Delena next season even better for the show.
ReplyDeleteI liked it a lot!
ReplyDeleteTo whom it may concern,
ReplyDeleteI know I speak for many, many people when I say that you have made a massive mistake by canceling Stalker.
Firstly, it is an original idea. Meaning it’s something new for a change, especially while we are in an era of remakes, sequels, prequels and retellings. We are sick and tired of Hollywood spitting out the same shit. We need originality and Stalker IS just that.
The premise that we are not safe even in our own homes is at its core, the truth. We aren’t safe, yet Stalker not only shows us all the different ways that we are vulnerable, but all the different ways we can prevent and protect ourselves. Ways we hadn’t thought of at all.
The cast is nothing short of brilliant. As actors and as people, they are talented and endearing. What they bring to their characters makes it so easy to love them from the first episode. We were all instantly hooked on the show and feeling for them during the dramatic case and their private lives. The writers made a beautifully scripted web of humanity for each character and the actors played them out perfectly. We felt the depth of what we knew must have been something horrible that Beth was holding back and we struggled with the two sides of Jack and wondered what would come.
Add to all this, the amazingly eerie and haunting renditions of classic songs that wrench our hearts and make us rethink the meanings of them and you have one hell of a show.
What we want you to understand is that each new season we put our faith and trust in you. You who make these shows that for a small amount of time let us forget about our own lives and immerse us into a new intriguing world.
We stand by you every week and we yearn to see our favourite characters in whatever new storyline you have set up. We get caught up in the life and death situations and sit on the edge of our seats pleading for someone to be saved or someone to look behind them or duck and run.
Granted when the hour is over we all run around the house and double check all our doors and windows are locked but we still come back for more.
It’s disrespectful to us, the people who stick by you, to treat us the way you have. Pulling a show off air after episode 17 with the lead character in the trunk of her stalker’s car is a dirty move.
Ratings and awards are not the be all and end all. History has proven that time and again. When shows like the Brady Bunch (made 117 episodes 46 years ago), M*A*S*H (made 251 episodes 43 years ago, which lasted longer than the ACTUAL war), Happy Days (made 255 episodes 41 years ago), and more recently shows like Seinfeld etc were all shows that the ‘Big Wigs’ at the time deemed duds. Yet decades later they are still in rotation in every country around the world.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer was never given the credit it deserved but that didn’t stop me from saving up and dropping $300 on the box set and buying every novel that are still being written 12 years after it finished airing. Stalker has that same X factor. The fact that you can’t see the bottled lightning you have with Stalker is saddening.
We are sick of the constant reality show crap that floods our screens and we are sick of the same cookie cutter shows that are beyond predictable. We love Stalker and we love the actors who bring these well-written characters to life. By pulling a stunt like this all you are doing is making it very easy to never trust anything your company releases ever again.
Why would we take another chance on anything you produce if we can’t even count on a proper season or ending to a storyline?
And while a lot of people are making a comparison to its replacement CSI: Cyber I am not. I like CSI: Cyber too and seeing Patricia and James who are both very unappreciated actors in something new is a good thing. I’m pretty sure that there is room for both in the schedule.
Do the right thing and bring Stalker back or lose our trust and support. If I want a dose of reality, I’ll leave my house!
Sincerely
Naomi
stalker :( Maggie is fantastic!
