USA Network Cancels ‘The Dead Zone’, ‘4400’

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Sci-Fi/Horror, Cable, Cancellations

TV Guide is exclusive reporting today that the plugs have been pulled on both The Dead Zone and The 4400.  Dead, which had been on the the USA Network for six seasons, had its last airing on September 16.  This was also the same date of 4400’s Season Four finale.

Although a reason was not stated, creator Scott Peters acknowledged the cancellation of The 4400 on the show’s message board.  Meanwhile, fans of The Dead Zone have been working on their own online petition.

While I admittedly had not watched either series, I was actually bummed to hear the news.  How could I not support any program that had Farmer Ted (a.k.a. Anthony Michael Hall) as its lead?  And I only just learned today that The 4400 was (supposedly) set in Seattle.  Just that fact alone should give the program a permanent time slot on USA’s schedule.

Keep Farmer Ted!  Keep 4400!  Go Seahawks!
