I like the plot, great characters, and only so-so writing.

No other confirmation yet. Interesting… there’s a mention of Threshold being gone after one seasons in a Yahoo! article about Alias being cancelled.

I fear it may be gone before February sweeps. That said, I've watched it a few times and keep trying to get into it. I feel like I should like it, but all the pieces just don't quite add up. And having watched Braga at work, I doubt he's got a long-term plan like JMS had for B5. I'd love it if the man could surprise me, but I am doubtful.

House is on at 9pm EST and Threshold is on at 10pm EST. Its competition will be Boston Legal(ABC) and Law and Order(NBC). no Fox or UPN due to its later time. I do think it was to get out of the way of Sci-fi Friday. From a schedule standpoint I wish they would swap NCIS and Amazing Race for a lead in to Threshold House isn’t up against Threshold.

I hate when the networks do that. They should make DVRs smarter. I only ever watch my shows on DVR and now I have missed yet another episode of Threshold. Oh geez, so they moved the time slot.

Wait... that's not exactly a ringing endorsement, is it? JMS made a 5-year plan, and damned if he didn't get it done. Goyer has some clout as well, and if CBS would advertise the show more on all the Bruckheimer shows, I think it'd find more viewers. So far, the only show I watch where I've seen Threshold ads has been Without A Trace, and I think that was only because it came on the day before Threshold... and I'm wondering if that'll go away now that it's been moved to Tuesday.

As in "this season". Notice the flagrant absence of any references to agreements on any of the other two seasons, and in any case I think that making three-year plans in today's TV-Jungle can't be called optimistic.

I’m a little pessimistic. But also I sincerely hope that my gloomy prophecies are wrong.
