- With Fox making early announcements about the future of some of their series, some have thought about past series as well. Just not too long ago I mentioned two series that Fox put the axe down on not too long ago. Sit Down, Shut Up was canceled this week, and I’m sure we will learn the fate of more series when Fox has its upfronts this week. One series that has come up by some recently is Dark Angel.
  
  The series aired on Fox nearly ten years ago, and it was how one Jessica Alba earned her big start. She had done roles before then, but nothing quite as big as Dark Angel. The series was the brain child of James Cameron, who at that time had just come out of a high with Titanic, which is one of the biggest movies of all time. A fact that he wanted to go to television was not expected, but he moved forward with a series, and that series was Dark Angel. A series that Fox took on, and for two years we followed one genetically enhanced female as she lived her live in the not so distant future.
  
  However, low ratings and a price tag of nearly $2 million an episode to make the series caused Fox to lose faith in the series. They moved it to Friday night, and we all know what a dead night for television that is. However, things looked good the series. Season two ended, and we looked ahead to season three. However, a few weeks after the season finale aired we learned that the series wouldn’t have a third season.
  
  We see a similar issue now with another series. Oddly enough, James Cameron isn’t involved in the series, but he did create the original Terminator and these characters. Many have said Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is done, but we won’t know the answer to that question to later this week when Fox has its upfronts in New York City.
