Both describe the same situation? Disney spent hundreds of millions of dollars on both. Both seemingly were intended to be ongoing series, yet were canceled. Failure is usually evident by an absence of success. SFA is launched with a built in two season commitment. Short of post-production on...

So by "failed out of the gate" you meant "not renewed on a cliffhanger"? :shrug:

Both were canceled on cliffhangers and became high profile failures. Long story short, it's reasonable to compare SFA with other streaming shows in potentially similar situations... Andor is worth it fwiw

Or outright canceled them like The Owl House (but at least it was able to end on its own terms). Even then, showrunner Dana Terrace had to fight an uphill battle from the beginning. Oh, yes, very much so. People have been pointing that out ever since a certain governor's stupid war against...

I think the show ironically would have been worst without him. He I think clearly knows Star Wars in and out better than Headland. Like I said. He doesn't deserve much if any blame for the shows failure. I like the guy.

It’s looking like it’s less a comment on the shows themselves and more the contraction of the streaming bubble. IIRC, it was outright stated that Discovery was getting too expensive to continue producing.

After Disco and Lower Decks were cancelled after S5, they really should've planned for a maximum of five seasons.

“Prematurely” as in the show runners were not aware that CBS/Paramount were going to cancel their shows, and had to quickly change things around in their final episodes at the last minute because of that.

What do you mean "prematurely"? The days of shows going on and into eternity are over. P+ is drawing a line in the sand as a cost control measure. Five seasons is a VERY good run nowadays.

...as I’m not privy to their accounting. You mean Skydance. And three of those four shows were prematurely cancelled, and the other one only went for the 3 seasons it was contractually obligated for, and not renewed for more. Plus the cancellation of Prodigy. Take that information how you will.

What do you think were Filoni's contributions to The Acolyte over the wishes of Headland? What do you think Headland would have done without Filioni that would have been more successful? Where do you feel the he steered The Acolyte in such a way to where it was canceled by Disney whereas The...

Totally agree. Once Roz was brought back in I think the show was poised to really take off. Also guest spots for Cheers alumni was being planned. Sadly George Wendt passed away so that one will never happen. Would have been great for Norm to walk into Mahoneys and everyone say Norm! Lol

It felt for me like seasons 12 and 13, it was such an organic return in my opinion. Yeah it needed more to really develop the characters and since it was telling a story over an actual year 10 episodes for it just made no sense. It can't have been that expensive to produce considering it was...

It's so good to hear that Enterprise has improved with age for some viewers. :) I came to ENT late, binge-watched the first 2 1/2 seasons. I think I benefited from seeing the character arcs and overall themes all together. Plus I was not part of the Internet fan community at that point, and I...

I think Disney was an effort to globalize DW to a larger degree. I'm not sure that it was failing but I would agree that it was dwindling. But there's a difference between that and failing. I've often thought the pinnacle of DW's global footprint in terms of social awareness was Day of the...

Or keep the real estate and keep running the show in tandem with Doctor Who. Dimensions in Time: The Next Regeneration!

Can’t we just cancel Eastenders, sell the real estate that set is on, and get Doctor Who at 20 episodes?

Is it? I was getting the be under the impression that at this point it was failing, and barely surviving on just enough of the hardcore fanbase to keep it on the right side of cancelation. Wasn't the Disney deal and whatever next deal they make with someone else, their last desparate attempts...

...become *more* prevalent because of the state of financial affairs in broadcast television. (See: Red Dwarf The Promised Land, and the cancellation of its next special over at U&) It’s a sort of life support option. Doctor Who really shouldn’t be as susceptible — it’s entire cast can be...

Thanks for the clarifications! It's been so long since I last watched DBZ I totally misremembered the complicated dubbing history.
