Ratings Review: ALCATRAZ

ALCATRAZ followed the same pattern as fellow Monday night series TERRA NOVA. A very good premiere, followed by a few good weeks of ratings. The, in the middle of the run, it drops and by the end it is obvious it needs to be cancelled.

This series, along with TERRA NOVA, is a perfect case that fans are wanting another great science fiction based series. Unfortunately Hollywood seems incapable of finding one of those series but once or twice a decade.

Mondays, 9:00pm (FOX)
