Legend of the Seeker looks likely to be canceled.
Fans are in a tizzy about a story that quotes a corporate relations SVP at Tribune Company:
A representative from the Tribune Company is now saying that Legend of the Seeker will not be renewed for a third season.
When e-mailed for comment by KSiteTV and by others, this is what he said:
Dear Craig,
Thanks for your email and for your support of the show. Unfortunately, not enough viewers felt the same way as you and “Seeker’s” ratings do not merit renewing it. I’m sorry.
Gary Weitman
SVP/Corporate Relations
Tribune Company
I contacted Mr. Weitman who was extremely responsive and sensitive to the plight of the fans, but confirmed that the ratings did not merit Tribune sticking with it for a 3rd season.
Legend of the Seeker is an ABC Studios production distributed by ABC Domestic television but seemingly airing primarily (and perhaps exclusively) on Tribune-owned stations with the WGN America superstation having the widest coverage.
I have contacted ABC in hopes of tracking down someone who can advise on whether ABC Domestic Television might attempt to syndicate it anyway despite the Tribune Station Group not picking it up. If I find out anything else I will post it.
Well this sucks. Actually felt this season was a lot better then the first, well not the ratings, but quality, I suppose scripted syndication just doesn’t work right now.

Wow that sucks

This is so upsetting. Seeker’s ratings have been getting better, not worse. Argh.

Well is the 18-49 demo still the core demo for this show to be profitable? Or any other specific demo?
I just see total viewers on the ratings reports so it’s kinda hard to analyze

Deej, depends on how you look at it. S2 was pretty consistent w/in a range, but the most recent episode we have data for (2/20 episode) was a season low and season 2 was lower than season 1.

Forg: unfortunately all we ever see directly from Nielsen for syndicated shows (not just Seeker) is household and total viewer information, no demos.

That’s a shame. I enjoyed the show for what it was, though I have found season 2 to be a little dark.

^ I see. Well the total viewers ranges on 2+ million and would probably have CW-like demo numbers which I guess not good enough for Tribune stations.
Too bad, maybe this would have worked on cable.
