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!
Well once again the television are morons!!!! I guess this is our own private Armagedon! You know that the 4400 and Dead Zone night was the best on TV! This is just another way for reality shows and NBC to get into USA Network’s pants!!!
I am so pissed and upset that the show was canceled. I just had my husband rent all the old seasons so he could get into the show with me. If the show brought ratings back to the station they could at least wrap up the series with a seventh season. Don’t just leave the fans hangin thats messed up.
Stories like Dead Zone that have a plot and anyone can get involved with characters and can’t wait to see how the next episode ties into it, is positive. This show should never have been canceled to make room for fluff shows that are silly and unreasonable. Show like this had thought and reason.
I agree with others you always cancel good shows and then air reality shows that are stupid.. The Dead Zone is a great show.
Cancel one of your gay shows I mean come on. Bring back the dead zone it was the best please.
I wish the hacks that run our entertainment would at least respect us enough to wrap up their series’. Other countries seem to be content to do shows that have a predetermined end date, I say let’s give that a go.
Im not disapointed that the show was cancelled ,I think it was about time !It used to be such a good show.The first 3 seasons were great ,then they kind of ran out of imagination and the story we got attached to quickly went all over the place ! They really lost my interest.It should of gotten cancelled earlier,before they started to run out of ideas . I remember one episode from season 6 about(horses)………wtf
Looks like more space for the networks to put on reality TV. I think i’m going to PUKE!!!!!
Why do you always take off the good shows. Dead Zone should not have been cancelled. Please bring it back.
You leave on stupid shows, but take off the shows people really like.
All the good shows have been cancelled without wrapping them up! At least Jericho is wrapping things , but I really enjoyed the show. I really liked Journeyman, but of course it was cancelled. I really lilked Invasion, but it left. I really liked Threshold, but cancelled without wrapping it up. It all sucks!!. I would love to get rid of all reality tv! It is horrible!! I am afraid to get hooked into a show because it gets cancelled!!. I would love it if the 4400 and Dead Zone would return to tie up loose ends. There were great… Read more »
I can’t believe The Dead Zone was cancelled!!!! One of my favoritesThis is so unfair. Stop replaying all the reruns from House, and the Law and Orders and Give us at least one more season to wrap up the open story lines.
The Dead Zone was a great show. I won’t be watching any new series on USA, as execs there have proved that they can’t properly wrap up their series. Whomever is responsible for canceling this should be fired.
Out of all the terrible shows on TV the idiots at USA Networks choose to cancel these two great shows! The only problem with these shows was the extremely long period of time between seasons. That makes it really hard to follow the story line. I’m sure they are going to replace them with some lame show(s).
In my humble opinion, Dead Zone was the best show on TV. It is a shame that one of the major networks didn’t produce it. It would be great if some way it could be picked up by one of the majors. They would already have an audience. Also 6 years of material that could be worked in some way. At least I have 6 seasons of DVDs. Thanks USA!
This is a big load of crap. I have watched dead zone from the first day it aired. I was so excited to here that they were going to make a series of my favorite book. All 6 seasons were great, but there is no end. If there is just one more season it could all be finished the right way. I think a movie wouldn’t be enough to finish. We need season 7 if not 10-15 episodes then 5-10. USA I will not watch anymore shows on your network because anything you put on you will cancel before a… Read more »
