Warren Ellis's Global Frequency May Not Air

Posted by michael on from the experiencing-technical-difficulties dept.

ajs writes "According to Ain't It Cool News, the WB network has cancelled Warren Ellis's Global Frequency, a wonderfully twisted modern-day SF TV series which may yet air, but the company that owns the series will now have to shop it around to other networks. If you're a fan of the comic series or you have just been starving for good non-space SF since the X-Files went away, you might want to send words of support to your favorite non-WB network. Slashdot has previously interviewed Ellis."

  2. This is getting absolutely rediculous... by xeon4life · · Score: 4, Insightful

    American TV has become riddled with reality shows. It's quite discusting:
    * Wife Swap - Who watches this!? Some sick, twisted indiciduals, that's who.
    * Survivor - Isn't this like the 80th episode or something? How many different spins can they put on the challenges?
    * Big Brother - People tune in to this waiting, just anticipating two of the people boarded to have sex.
    * Extreme Makeover - The epitome of our obsession with aesthetic qualities.
    * Much, much more crap...

    Please, turn it off!
    LOST, Adult Swim, and various Comedy Central programs are the only reason I watch TV anymore. They're the only reason I haven't lost all hope in American entertainment.

  3. WB releases pilot by Sonny+Yatsen · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Thankfully, though, the WB has released the pilot back to the company that produced it instead of holding onto it like some networks to prevent it from ever being made.

    Right now, Ellis and the folks are negotiating with other television stations with the pilot, which Ellis remarked as impressive. There's still hopes yet, folks. You might still be on the Global Frequency.

    It's beyond hating it because other people are watching it. The networks are airing more and more of this crap, people are watching more and more, and good shows get canceled or not picked up to make room for more mindless reality shows. That's what pisses people off about them.
