I mean how can you go from just being signed for two more seasons to being cancelled in just a couple of months? They switched its timeslot and the ratings dropped, well wouldn't that mean that you shouldn't of switched the timeslot? Somebody didn't like it and they tanked the show to get a reason to get out of the contract, probably so they could come up with more money for these miniseries events. I understand the ratings bit and I would of accepted the ratings excuse except for the fact that they have yet to put out anything in a year that has gotten any type of rating at all. Scare tactics will pop a rating for a couple of weeks before it gets stale, if they are smart they only filmed 3 or 4 episodes, the Dreamteam came and went so fast I didn't even know it had started and just how long do they think John Edwards will last doing the same exact thing over and over again every night? You know what the only thing that stuck was Stargate SG1 which is a space science fiction show (go figure) and part of it's appeal was that it had a large library of reruns.  They put out these mini series and specials to draw attention to the channel but don't understand why the people who showed up to watch Dune don't stay around to catch the Dreamteam? Who wants to watch science fiction reality shows? They have a narrow target audience, they have to hit that audience, I'm afraid that Tremors the series just isn't going to get it, and what do they say when the replacement show gets lower ratings than the one it replaced, what if it drags Stargate down on Fridays too? They seem to have lost touch with their target audience.</blockquote>
