John Doe on Network 2

Cabaal

Just turned on the TV and was very surprised to see it.
I've already seen it thanks to broadband and its a real shame that Fox have killed it just after 1 Season.

But none the less its worth a watch for anybody who hasn't seen it.

General story is:
Guy wakes up on a island doesn't know who he is but he knows EVERYTHING else.
Funny in parts and some of the mysterys are very well done.

Just watched it myself earlier on there. Some good bits - reminded me of Nowhere Man in a way - he'd be chasing his identity every week while solving mysteries etc.

One question though - do you actually find out who he is before the end of the series and why he is the way he is before the end of the series?

(Don't tell me who he is - just tell me if it is revealed)

I have seen nearly all of the episodes of it thx to getting them off someone and was gutted to hear that fox killed it. It was so damn good imho. Out of interest as I dont watch tv much what time is it on at on Network 2?

Its starts around 8.00 or 8.30 as far as I can make out.

Dam I hate fox for this kinda shiite!
they did the exact same thing to Space Above and Beyond years ago.
Why can't they keep good shows going?

Because they need money for more reality TV. And the Network Execubot rolled a '5' so telefantasy is out this year.

Yeah, it also started on the Sci-Fi Channel tonight with a double-bill, thought it was entertaining stuff. Kinda puts me off watching it now though, knowing that it will just end abruptly without any closure.

Sci-Fi are repeating those eps over the next week (Friday, Sunday and right now) for anyone who feel like picking it up - or just watching the pilot ep and picking it up on N2 over the coming weeks.

Seems watchable enough so I'll probably keep going with it (though I really should be studying for a programming exam on Thursday so I'll leave it till Friday)

I do hate when they finish or cancel series without a conclusion or an answer to the mystery though. I was not impressed as a nipper when Pandamonium finished without assembling all those crystal pyramids.

I hate when networks kill off a show with potential. You get all the Irish channels bigging up the season premiere ant all that - and then you find out its canceled already so whats the point in watching it? It happened with Firefly as well, a great show that I tried net to get to involved wuth cos I knew the networks had already canceled it. Grrrr, TV execs make me angrrryy!

Gota say I did'ent like Firefly one bit,
but dam the networks for always doing this kinda crap.
Why do they even bother making one series if they don't bother airing it at the same time every week and they don't listen to anybody that watches it (they constantly kept pre-empting John Doe for other shows)

good show! it was killed off? arse!
