    Marketing/Promotions in regards to T:SCCThe thing that I don’t think that FOX or other Networks unatrsednd is how to market a show like Sarah Connors Chronicles. And it is this fact, that should have/could have/may still save SCC. Fox cancelled SCC for one reason: Numbers. They weren’t there compared to the cost. Now, you and I can complain that they (producers and writers) ditched the show by convoluting the plot and bringing on highly disliked characters (psychotic girlfriends) and making John a brooding teen without any ability to lead and I agree. But for Fox, this was a business decision. So, how do we save shows like Terminator? Do more than number counts. Show the demographics of a show like Terminator. I am one of those HARD to reach demographics. I don’t watch TV and I don’t see many ads. I am a professional with not much time and little desire to be entertained by some show on TV. And I never watch serial television. Ever. Until SCC. The last episode of episodic TV, that I watched, was probably 10-12 years earlier. I hear similiar things from my other friends they just don’t watch much TV, until Terminator hit the airwaves. For two years, we never missed an episode. Now, how much is that worth? A demographic who had no interest in watching something else (we didn’t move on to Doll House or any other zany Sci-fi or drama). How much is it worth to your advertisers to get 40-60 year olds who are flush with money, and never in front of the tube, to be sitting in front of that tube watching. What is that worth? That is what Fox had with Terminator. Nope, I bet it didn’t do well in the mainstream but it did well with a very loyal bunch (and you only have yourself to blame for the second season and the mis-step with Riley and fawning John. But there were still some great episodes in the second season. And you would have had even higher ratings eash year and more and more of the hard to reach group tuned in each weak. Market shows like T:SCC for the demographic you get, the loyalty of that demographic, and the marketability of that audience.
