Awake Will Not Continue on Another Network

I'm sorry to see it go. To me, the conspiracy was the least interesting aspect of the show, but I'm still glad that Killen resolved it. I don't recall any other TV shows asking the big questions of just what constitutes reality and whether reality is preferable to fantasy. Then there were the relationships between Britten and his wife and son made all the more real by his knowing what it's like to not have them in his life. Thank you Kyle Killen and everyone else who worked on the show. You provided me with thirteen hours of thoughtful entertainment and I carried your thematic questions with me beyond the shows as well.

Can't beleive this show has finished... Was hooked from episode one. I wonder now if it's worth looking round for another new show to watch, everyone that I get into only lasts for one season and I'm back to square one, wondering what to watch next.

Yeah, completely agreed with list of amazing shows not lasting more than single season. But, on the upside, equally impressive Person of Interest continue strong.

Says a lot for the quality of the viewing public when good shows are dropped! Rubicon was show that was just too smart for the masses. Seems anytime a show is good and smart it gets lost. Thank God for cable...

i loved the last ep of awake, out of all the shows that got canned at least there was an ending, not a continuing aspect to it. Most other shows that have been canned after the 1st season left the ending with a to be continued vibe...

The series finale is not That's not my penguin, that episode aired a couple months ago. The last episode is Turtles All The Way Down, a reference to the old belief that the world lies on the back of a giant turtle on top of a giant turtle. Shows this good don't belong on network tv they belong on cable.

The biggest problem with shopping around a show is probably the cast. It's not just spending a big heap of money to get the rights to the programme, but also get there in time to keep all the actors (and creative crew) on board. Actors will be looking for a new job almost the minute a cancellation is announced, so if a network change doesn't happen immediately, it probably won't happen at all. The Fireflies and Arrested Developments are rare exceptions.

It is truly a pity. Shows who do so much so right are extremely rare. Heartfelt drama instead of schmaltzy soap opera shenanigans, fleshed-out characters instead of cardboard stereotypes, thrilling stories with a thought-provoking overarching plot... it will probably be a while before we get another one of those. Shows of this calibre almost seem to be destined to never last longer than one season (Rubicon, Terriers...) but usually they're also made with the foresight to not leave the audience completely stranded with a season finale (unlike the cheap tacked-on cliffhangers that other shows feel forced to include, as if anyone's going to remember them by the time the show returns). I am looking forward to the finale. And don't forget that "it's about the journey". You've had many hours of wonderful drama (to be re-watched, I'm sure) no matter how things are left.

Thanks to Kyle Killen and all the writers, producers and directors involved; I'm going to keep an eye out for what they're up to next.
