Anyone watch Defying Gravity?

Mooga · 09-14-2009, 05:10 AM

Defying Gravity is (was?) a new show on ABC which I have been catching on Hulu. Truthfully, it's not amazing but it's kind of addicting. The play down the technology and future aspect as "given" which makes the show just seem realistic despite it clearly being Sci-fi.

The problem is that ABC seems to have randomly canceled it. ABC doesn't advertise it, only keeps 5 back eps online, and plays it between seasons on a Sunday night. It seems like ABC forced it into damnation right off the bat.

Does anyone here watch?

Well, a cursory search of Wikipedia shows that ABC aired the 8th episode as a "Season Finale" and it is presumed cancelled.

I'd love to know where they got the neilson ratings for a week a go Sunday's episode seeing as when my guide went to record it Jerry Lewis was on.

BTW, his dead girlfriend and the other guy standing on the outside of the ship was very cool.

I really got hooked to it within the past week or two. I really hope they don't kill it off. There are also several un-air episodes.

Episode that wasn't aired in the US, explains everything, is the next one after the last one shown on ABC:

I saw it on the net. Also, I read an article that ABC is actually NOT cancling it. It's coming back at some point...

Nice outlining of how things were going to go if the series had lived by the creator:

He won't say the ending yet, but maybe in 6 months. I hope the VP at sci-fi wakes up and buys the damn thing.
