Title: SciFi airs John Doe series
Post by: trekgeezer on January 17, 2006, 09:54:18 AM
This is yet another good show that died in FOX's series killer time slot on Friday. I really loved this show and FOX did not give the makers any notice about the cancellation until all the episodes had aired, so they had no opportunity to do any kind of closure. The show ends in a terrific cliff hanger.

Here's the link (http://www.scifi.com/johndoe/about/) to SciFi's page on the show if you don't know what it's about. It is a good show with a unique premise.

Sounds like a good premise. I'm sure they'll have 'em on DVD before too long. Good shows like this one are generally lost on folks, sometimes it seems like tv that's "too intelligent" is not meant to survive.

I just picked up the entire series of Nowhere Man - similar to John Doe but a lot more like The Prisoner series. Great show, never did any re-airings in the US. Thankfully, 10 years later, I can finally watch the episodes I missed. I'll have to do the same with John Doe eventually.

I never caught this on its first run and I'm somewhat interested... anything Fox axes tends to be watchable.
