TVSquad reports that CBS has cancelled THRESHOLD, one of the three alien invasion dramas launched this season (SURFACE and INVASION have both been picked up for the back nine). Carla Gugino was terrific in KAREN SISKO, but her talents were wasted in THRESHOLD, which tended to be the same episode every week. Let’s hope she gets a third shot at a TV series…and that the next one works.
Karen Sisco was a fun series. I was chagrined when the network killed it after only a few episodes.
Robert Forster was great in it, too. But you knew the series was dead, at least creatively, when they did the “heroes held as hostages in a bank hold-up” episode. That is one of the first signs that the end of a series is near…or should be.
