‘Human Target’ and Others Cancelled by Fox

by on May 10, 2011

in Entertainment, television

Sad day indeed.  First we here at Cinema Static and our readers lose Stargate Universe to lousy ratings.  (You’ll see my dissection of that scenario in a future post.)  But now news on the street is that Fox has added Human Target, starring Mark Valley to the halls of canceled TV series.

I had come to enjoy Human Target and they had started developing the characters in a very productive fashion and I was enjoying it more in the second season than the first.

But alas, another Cinema Static favorite has spiraled out of control and cratered in the land of cancelled shows.

Boo.  I was really starting to enjoy Jackie Earle Haley‘s portrayal of Guerrero too!  We’ll be seeing more of Jackie Earle Haley in the upcoming movies, Dance of the Mirlitons, Bolden! & the Tim Burton directed Dark Shadows remake.  We’ll be seeing Mark Valley in the upcoming project, Medallion, on the silver screen.

Great news for all fans of Mark Valley.  Human Target is getting renewed for a 2nd season!    The Fox network order is anticipated to be 13 episodes. This is great news.  When Human Target ended its first season, I hated the idea of the cliff hanger that it ended on.  That and I was starting [...]

Human Target is Fun, But…

February 3, 2010

I’m really enjoying Human Target with Mark Valley on Fox. This week’s episode has Chance up in a religious retreat of a sorts protecting a bad guy gone straight.  It’s fun as always.  But they need to start giving us background on everyone. Who really is Chance, besides still lamenting a past mistake involving a [...]

A Quick Review of HUMAN TARGET Premiere on Fox

January 17, 2010

A quick review on Fox’s premiere episode of Human Target is that so far it’s a bit predictable and bland right now and does not stand out from any other action show. It had an explosive opening as we’re introduced to Christopher Chance (Mark Valley). We later meet his partners Winston (Chi McBride) and Guerrero (Jackie [...]
