You never heard John McCain or Barack Obama talking about this on the campaign trail.
A lot of people were surprised that The Sarah Connor Chronicles was renewed. Not because it’s a bad show or doesn’t deserve to grow and all that, but just because it wasn’t getting the best ratings (plus it’s on FOX). Now The Hollywood Reporter has a theory: the bad economy is helping these borderline shows.
The theory is that because of the bad economy, combined with the writers strike earlier this year and advertising dollars are down across the board, networks are renewing shows that wouldn’t ordinarily be renewed. Besides The Sarah Connor Chronicles, shows like Knight Rider have gotten orders for more episodes.
