Asks Rob: Has Legend of the Seeker Been Canceled? And You're find the Answer

Below is an excerpt for TV Q&A with Rob Owen to the question that has plagued all of us Legend of the Seeker Fans since it was first announced as canceled.

Q: Has 'Legend of the Seeker' been officially canceled? ABC hasn't released an official cancellation statement, so fans are using their hard-earned money to try and save the show. I'm all for fan campaigns, but I'd hate to be using my money to try and save something that's already dead and buried. However, if there's even a sliver of hope that I could help bring back a show that brings me one hour of happiness per week, I'd be all for it.
Should we expect to hear the bad news shortly or might there be other reasons for the delayed announcement?

Rob: Networks generally do not announce show cancellations (unless it's a long-running hit series and they want publicity about it ending). Journalists report when a show has been canceled but if you're waiting for an official cancellation notice, you'll be waiting forever. Personally, I think a fan campaign at this point is a waste of money. Once Tribune stations pulled out and declined to air future seasons of the syndicated series, the business model was broken.
A publicist for the show confirmed "Legend" has been canceled and a third season will not be produced. The series finale will air the weekend of May 22 with reruns airing through the fall.
Thank you for being a thinking (not blind) fan. Sometimes people get a little lost in their appreciation for TV series.

So, this is it. Another television original has been killed off because of a lack in viewership. If fans of fantasy/adventure truly want to their series to last beyond the 1-2-season chopping blocks, more interesting in watching the series must come from them, and from the numbers of viewers who come out to the theaters for big screen fantasy and sci-fi adventure flicks, we know the fans are out there.

Hey, why cry over what's lost now. Our beloved Legend of the Seeker ends next Saturday and Sunday with a two-day series finality. Cable viewers can catch it on WGN next weekend.

However, if you strongly  believe the series can be saved go to the link and pledge your vote to save the series.
