The Dead Zone: USA Series Cancelled, No Season Seven
On the previous episode of The Dead Zone, Johnny (Anthony Michael Hall) and his son JJ (Connor Price) were having new visions of Armageddon. Apparently the end was closer than they knew.
After six seasons, USA Networks has chosen to cancel the science-fiction series. Coincidentally, Dead Zone’s last episode aired on the same night as The 4400’s which has also been cancelled. It was suspected that time was running out on both series as they’ve both been on the air for several seasons and have grown more expensive. USA reportedly searched for ways to cut costs so the shows could be renewed but they ultimately decided to pull the plug.
Of the two cancellations, USA exec Jeff Wachtel said, “We wish we could keep all our great shows alive forever. But we feel we need to give some of our new shows a platform to grow, and it’s with great sadness that we say goodbye to two shows that had a great run and helped create the resurgence of original programming on our network and on all of cable.”
There’s been no word of any plans to bring the series’ unresolved storylines to a close. Stay tuned!

It’s a real heartbreaker to hear that these two shows have been cancelled — they were among your best, USA. You should bring them back. I know I’m not alone when I say that I’ve lost two BIG reasons for watching USA. A shame.

Please…enough with those rediculous reality shows…give us some real entertainment. Watching TV stinks, commercials are getting longer and longer, too.
The Dead Zone was real entertainment. I’m only on Season Two on DVDs and now I find out it’s been cancelled! For God’s sake…PLEASE….don’t let them cancel DEXTER too!

Reality TV Sucks but it’s cheap to produce. No big stars to pay or special effects to create. I never though USA would **** out on us but looks like they followed the lead of the major networks. It’s not about what the viewers want, it’s all about how much money they can line their pockets with. I only watched 4 shows on USA. The Dead Zone The 4400,Monk and Psyche. I”m sure Monk and Psyche will be next as they cost money to produce and in my opinion are not as good at the 4400 or Dead Zone. Just wait nightly expisodes of Deal or New Deal repeats (the stupidest show on TV) are soon to make the USA line up.

TV has become a WASTELAND with these crappy reality shows. I’ve had it. From now on I’m turning off my TV and renting shows or movies from Netflix. At least I can rent decent stories and interesting programs. These stupid network executives! Every decent show I’ve gotten into has been cancelled (with the exception of Cold Case). I’m not watching TV anymore. And now I don’t have to deal with 7 commercials every 20 minutes either.

Why? All I ask is why? You just stopped the greatest 2 shows on USA network and replaced them with all that reality garbage! And you stopped them without closure! You will lose all of your viewers, including me!
