Friedman discusses 'Sarah Connor' axe

Josh Friedman has issued a public letter to fans over the recently axed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Friedman hinted that he does not believe Fox has been unfair to the programme, but said that "good shows are cancelled every year".

"Every network wants a big fat hit, especially one with a brand name behind it, and Fox was/is no different," he wrote. "They supported the show, they supported my vision of the show, and they gave it plenty of time to find an audience."

He added: "Good shows are cancelled every year; smart shows, worthy shows, shows which move their viewers to write blogs and have viewing parties and create action figures and bury executives’ email accounts under thousands of messages."

Friedman also thanked fans for their support throughout the show's two-season run.

"Thanks to a brave and talented cast, a feature crew working on a TV schedule, and everyone else who I could list but won’t because they know who they are," he said. "Mostly I’d like to thank those of you who’ve supported us and fought for us and given up hours of your life to watch our show.

"At the end of the day, that’s what it’s about. The watching."
