What do you think? Do you like the Extant TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I do not understand why you would want to cancel a family friendly show??? I hate that you moved the time to 10pm for the non working people. I loved it at 9pm even better if 8pm!!! I love this show but with the juke on TV now you get this is for adult over 50.
This is so well made, well acted, good special effects, family friendly – no sex, little violence, no bad language . What’s not to love? The storyline is good with genuine cliff- hangers. I hope this gets renewed.
Please do not cancel EXTANT! I have watched many televisions shows that were utter trash; EXTANT is not one of them! It is a classic sci-fi to me. It makes you think, opens up your conscience, gives you a idea with far reaching, heady subject matter. Many of the shows such as UTD are so boring, and so predictable. Give the show a chance. We are working within the genre of Isaac Asimov, Joe Haldeman, Ursula K. Le Guin , as well as a hundred other Nebula award winners, with respect to Extant. Give us more of this and less… Read more »
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL!!!! I love this show!!!!
I like the show and think it should stay. Love sci fi and Halle Berry!
I also agree with Jack! Its nice to have some sci-fi back in our lives! Tv shows need to have a lot of imagination and story lines in them! And great actors- just make it all the better!
Do not cancel. One of the few programs that truly keep you interested. Bring it back to 9:00.
I personally like this and Under the Dome. What people don’t realize is ratings isnt everyhing. Since the biggest stars are on Exant it probably cost more to produce so it has to have better ratings to not get cancelled. I’m hoping it hits the ratings it needs, because it is a good show. I think thess 2 hour specials might help it, since people are getting more of the story line faster.
DO NOT CANCEL!!! The story line and acting are great. Too many good shows have been cancelled – leave this one alone!
Do not cancel!
Don’t cancel this show. you already took Believe away from me. If you are going to cancel a show at least don’t end it on a cliff-hanger.
Michelle: Believe was on NBC, Extant is on CBS.
My husband and I watch Extant faithfully every week. We really like this sci-fi show and would be extremely disappointed if it were cancelled. Leave it alone. It’s a great show with an interesting story line embedded with unexpected twists and turns. Keep it going.
I looked at last night’s ratings and I do not understand why Extant is in danger of cancellation. Granted, they were down a little bit but they were still among the highest on broadcast tv, except for Big Brother, which I am holding my tongue about. This weekend is Labor Day, so it is understandable that people have other things to do besides watching tv. If I read them right, they far surpassed Under the Dome, and they should. So how can CBS keep UTD for 2 years and who know how much longer and think about cancelling Extant There… Read more »
excellent points. Do the networks monitor these forums?
So totally agree with Jack’s comment above!!!!!
It’s been a long time since I actually got chills from a sci-fi show! Great acting, plot, tensions, and concepts! It’s got it all over that DumbDome thing! I’m gonna have to stop liking shows, though, because every time I do, they get cancelled! (Like Believe).
My fave is NCIS, of course, but Extant is a close second!
