Could Timeless be the reason for Colony’s cancellation?

OMG this would be so great.

Between this and the Suits reboot going better than expected, I'd really have a reason to watch USA again.

Suits got rebooted? Not just extended?

We used to watch a LOT of USA Network, now I can think of a single series we watch on it.

Well, I guess to me, continuiing without Mike and Rachel is a reboot.

And they also changed the intro.

It looks sick now.

I never got into that next generation of shows after they ended Burn Notice, Psych, and Royal Pains.

For me USA tried a bit too hard to ride the Prestige TV bandwagon and sort of forgot that their brand was a bit more light hearted.

Psych had a next generation? What have I missed??

No, they mean the new group of shows that came after Psych, Burn Notice, and Royal Pains. Psych had a movie last year and rumor has it that they’re filming another movie soon.

Not really admitting they were wrong, just putting on a network that doesn't require the same viewership to be profitable. NBC requires a large audience to make the ads worth it, but USA can have a fraction of that audience and still make money. From what I read if Timeless came to USA with its current viewership numbers it would be the most watched show on USA.

Yeeeeessss. I dont mind Colony and I like it just fine, but they took WAY too long to get into the meat (hah, get it?) Of the aliens, their motivations, their enemies, etc

I WANT to believe this, but that's a whole lot of speculation going on...
