So excited Haven is back. I to am nobody who loves to get lost in a little fantasy and a love story. Also I to am over the 50+ population. Ps to the comment or on bad shows and nobodies, learn to spell and structure sentences.
Can wait 4 season 4.i wonder if it will be ‘happily eva after’ or ‘dis makes no sense’
I am so disappointed. I tape Haven. For some reason the finale was 2 hours and for some reason my cable box did not tape the 2nd hour. Did the 2nd hour show up as a repeat or something? Can I watch the finale online? If so, where?
I love the show it is good, well written a good escape from everything. My problem is what is happening with the episodes form 12/14 & 21. It was not kjn 12/14 and the 21st is showing as a repeat.
Season 4 is good to know, but what about the end of season 3
I’m so relieved it was renewed. My husband and I both love it, and buy it on Amazon so we can watch it more than once. By the way, he has a PhD and I have a masters. We’re also older than the 25 – 49 surveyed.
i love this show. good for them, so happy they renewed it!!
can’t wait for season 4
[…] UPDATE: Haven has been renewed for a fourth season of 13 episodes. […]
I’ll translate for those who don’t know Hollywood PR:
Haven’s ratings were really, really awful but we’re going to renew it anyway because maybe we’ll get a job at the production company when they finally fore us for having killed SciFi Channel with bad TV shows like Haven.
Demo numbers are irrelevant (and ageist), so are Live+7 numbers.
Advertisers pay for pairs of eyes of all ages for Live+3.
Wouldn’t it be nice if sites like this one would not let PR spin be echoed unchallenged?
I am beyond thrilled! This is my favorite show on television right now!! I was dreading the thought of watching, yet another, good show being cancelled! Now that I don’t have to worry – I am elated!
Great news for you.
For me it’s the usual bad news that Siffy will continue to fritter away money on bad shows nobody watches.
Who are you to call me a “nobody” Rena? I watch it. Such bitterness.
1.5 million nobodys. Charming. And what about non-US nobodies, itunes nobodies and nobodies who shop at Amazon and Play and join Lovefilm and Netflix? Gosh what a lot of nobodies. Well if all of us liked the same stuff the tv world would be even more bland than it currently is and we’d all be living in Stepford. When I was a kid we had two channels, and BBC2 when the weather was ok, and no video, dvd, tivo or whatever and there still managed to be things on worth watching. Nowadays once you’ve got rid of the porn and… Read more »
great news. the show has found it’s groove and i’m glad there will be a 4th season.
