Dinosaurs are headed back onto TV’s endangered species list.

Fox has pulled the plug on its pricey prehistoric drama Terra Nova after one moderately rated season, TVLine has learned.

The show is currently being shopped around to other networks by 20th Century Fox Television.

“Bad news guys, Terra Nova has been cancelled by Fox,” leading man Jason O’Mara tweeted late Monday. “We’re gonna try and get another network to do it. Stand by.”

The series had a very good premise but was badly executed. The acting was terrible, the story was incoherent.

+1 Especially the acting it was bad, cheesy - even CGI needs a plausible story and they lacked that even.
 
The last few episodes sealed their faith probably the worst written season finally I have seen in recent memory
 
The pilot was really good and showed huge potential, the series has gone backwards from there and the stories in some episodes are plain stupid
 
Is it just me or is Spielberg churning out garbage these days? Falling Skies suffered from the same issues that Terra Nova does. They could have been awesome shows had it not been for the poor acting and cinematography.
 
Should have been more about survival. They just seemed to overcome problems way too easy... its like Disney made it

Completely agree. Seems he is just selling the rights for his name to appear on garbage without providing any input at all. I dont know what he did for TinTin but i thought that was garbage too.

The River, which he produces, is also extremely lame. The acting and story is to barf of.

I was thinking the same thing, I wonder how actively involved he actually is?

Well several excellent shows have been cancelled for being too complex for the average American couch potato. It then makes sense for studios to churn out simple minded garbage, I mean even HBO's GoT has been dumbed so the average person can easily follow the story (as compared to the books where the reader is left to ponder and make intelligent guesses as what is what).
 
I'm really not surprised. Episode 1 was the highlight of the series IMO
