Variety reports that Jake 2.0 has been cancelled.
I'm sadly unsurprised, because it's just enough off the mainstream to have trouble, but I'm very disappointed. I hadn't quite warmed to Gorham as Jake as much as I had to Gorham as Neil Taggart in Odyssey 5, but I was very fond of him -- even when I had to squint my way through his goofily embarrassing himself in ep after ep. *g* He hadn't had time yet to really live into his new self! He hadn't had a chance to realize what a babe he really is!
And I'm still bitter about Odyssey 5.
There's no special dispensation for comics that means that here "mainstream" equals "men in tights wrestling each other in the street" when everywhere else it means pretty much anything BUT men in very tight costumes wrestling each other in the street. --Warren Ellis
Of course, actually publicizing the show might have helped as well.
Vaguely SF-ish shows really don't get any chances to develop. I haven't watched every episode (not yet anyway) but I quite liked those I watched. And I'm still bitter about O5 too.
Can't hurt--might help. I'm still being all not giving up yet-y.
(and I only just discovered O5, and am now even more bummed)
More and more I'm thinking never watching a "live" show is the only way to avoid heartbreak. But even then...
