Did anyone else here watch this show? I absolutely loved it and am really sad that it got cancelled.
I watched the first two seasons on DVD but had trouble finding its timeslot for the later ones. I also enjoyed the show.
Yea, I liked it to. I started watching it around the same time as Heroes so it was odd because of the similarities. Heroes does have better writing IMO. Whats wrong with these people and always leaving stories untold.
Me too. I got into it and then bang cancellation. It was foul.
But I really liked the show. I wished that it could have ended on its own terms.

I liked what i saw but wasn’t it canceled a few years ago?
They had episodes on in the fall, and I think that was season 4. This show had a tendency to disappear for a while, and I think it may have been cancelled more than once.
Unforutnitly, the series was cancaled, along with the Dead zone.
This show was one of the most frustrating series I have ever seen. You think lost is frustrating, you need to watch this, at least lost is going to end. You think firefly was frustrating, you sit there for four years, waiting for somthing, and you get nothing. What really sucks about this show was that the writers never really had a road map, for a show that needed a road map. In a interview with slice of scifi, one of the prodcuers said they would really just keep going as loong as they could. So, in fairness, we might’ve never seen an eding done justly.
Season four was when the series took a bit of a nosedive. The plot with the marked was beyond cheesy. But you know something? It ended so perfectly! The season ended so amazingly. We were past the plot line, they took us to another place… The series could have gone to another leval
They owe us a movie, a book, a direct to dvd episode, they owe us something. We spent four years with these people. It was not a great series, but it was a fraking good one. You dont’ end it the way they ended it.
Now I’m intrigued
Season four aired in the summer of 2007, I’m rpett sure the dvd was the final season comes out on dvd on may 6th, its a good show.
I am bummed that it got cancelled. Interesting factoid, someone from Scifi said in some press junket that Billy Campbell had called them begging to be on the show, even offered to do it for free.
If their was one reason to wacth the show, it as Billy Campbell! man, he was awesome (tear…tear)
It’s weird because my mom kept telling me how great it was. So finally I went out and got the season one DVD’s and watched the entire series that was available in like 3 weeks. Then I go online to do some checking on the show and I find out the damn thing has been cancelled. And I was almost like - well that was a big waste of my time - yet another great show cancelled just when i start to get really obsessed. And I haven’t even seen season four because it was already done airing when I became interested.
Well - I finally finished the series. I wasn’t too mad at the ending. I mean - there was a BIT of closure. But I still want to know what happens next. I need to know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Is Jordan Collier really good and is his plan really good for humanity? Is Promicin a good thing?
Man I wish it wasn’t cancelled. :mad:
I watched Season 1 and liked it but didn’t love it. Since I don’t watch much TV other than BSG, Lost, and Jeopardy (when I get home before 7:30, which is, like, never) I haven’t followed up since then. Since I heard it went downhill in S3 and S4 I probably won’t pick it back up unless someone sells me on it.
I absolutely loved season 1, loved season 2, enjoyed season 3 and was wondering whether the show had jumped the shark in season 4 until the last episode. I was ready to forgive season 4 when WHAM – cancellation. I don’t think it was a classic, but it was fun while it lasted. A wrap up movie would be great though.
The last season must have killed it since it was just a summer replacement and usually the “powers that be” are more forgiving of summer fluff.
The show was shot in Vancouver, where I grew up. Part of the fun was spotting all the places I’ve been. Apparently they spent a lot of time at UBC (the University of British Columbia) – at least if my eyes didn’t deceive me.
I just rented this series from Netflix and watched it during the past month.
I agree with what everyone has said in this thread. This show was interesting and dealt very well with the power of cult mentality.
Here are my thots. I think it’s a case of time travel mistake #3 - Try to avoid a future event and you’ll make it occur. The future folks abducted The 4400 and gifted them. That gift inevitably fell into the hands of power and greed. At the core, whenever humanity is involved, things are gonna get ugly. The show played with the idea of choosing sides and right and wrong. Who is the true savior? Is there a savior? I don’t think so. The largest concern was survival and whenever that is the cause, right and wrong take a back seat. Let’s face it, there were even factions in the future that didn’t agree.
So true. It’s too bad they had no idea where it was headed and were making it up along the way. That can be exciting and scary at the same time. The show was really dynamic, changing all the time. When it started there were only The 4400, now there are much more. The finale had some sense of closure but wasn’t exactly fulfilling. The people in Paradise City may think they’ve found a utopia but that’s because they are fighting for survival and dominance. Once that is achieved, factions will rise again. The show would probably end with someone from the future saying, “Nothing has changed.”
