P:NW cancelled - Feb 23



...And so, P:NW was cancelled. 

Wait, what?

My point exactly. After the first season of P:NW was over, SyFy decided to cancel any future seasons of the show without any ado. Ergo, I do have to exclaim – what gives?

Did P:NW has its flaws? Yes. Both the actors and the episode scripts had flaws, but show me a show that doesn’t have them, and like so many of them P:NW had some very good episodes too, besides to the not-so-good ones. So it could not have been poor acting/script writing in the end.

The time slot then, maybe? Yes, 10 o’clock at a weekday night is not very convenient, but neither was it P:NW’s fault, but rather the channel’s for giving it to P:NW. This is no real reason to cancel the show either.

The hiatus in the middle of the season? That is a more likely explanation – it was a relatively large period of time between 17/12/2012 and 22/01/2013 in Canada; when the show was re-started, P:NW did have to start from scratch, basically, but did quickly caught on and recovered itself, so on its own it isn’t a significantly good reason. But then, what is?

I have no idea. I do know, though, that there is an online petition aimed to save P:NW, and people should go and check it out. Here is the address, and good luck:

"Renew Primeval: New World"
