Summer time

‘Terminator’ gives geeks a reason to stay home on Friday nights

OK, so it’s no surprise that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was getting pummelled in the ratings by its competition last season. Monday night has become the new Thursday as must-see TV, and The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Chuck, The Bachelor and Gossip Girl were all worthy foes.

With the recent returns of American Idol and 24 in the Fox lineup, taking up major real estate on the schedule, the network had virtually no choice but to move Terminator from Mondays to Friday nights starting tomorrow. And while that might not seem like an ideal situation for a show on the bubble, this one might actually work in the series’ favour.

Now teamed up with the much-anticipated Dollhouse from Joss Whedon, the two shows seem like a match made in heaven. And Friday-night stay-at-homers will be reaping the benefits since they can hunker down and watch two straight hours of sci-fi goodness on Fox.

Creator and executive producer Josh Friedman and series star Summer Glau (Cameron) discussed the move to Friday night, Fox’s expectations, Cameron’s backstory and the season’s jaw-dropping finale.

A brief excerpt:

What are your thoughts on the new Friday timeslot and what advantages or disadvantages do you feel it offers?

Josh Friedman: Well, the advantage I see is that we were getting our asses kicked on Monday nights, so I’m happy to move to Fridays.

Summer Glau: I don’t think we were getting our asses kicked; I just think there’s a lot of stuff on Mondays.

JF: Yes, it was crowded on Monday and I think that Friday gives Fox an opportunity to promote us together with Dollhouse, which seems like a pretty exciting show. It’s an opportunity for a fresh start and we have a lot of great episodes in the back nine. So I don’t think anyone really knows what to expect in this environment but I feel good about it.

SG: I think it’s a great move. I think its fun and I think that the shows are very well-paired. I love Joss [Whedon, the creator] and I know some of the actors on Dollhouse and I’m rooting for us both. I think it’s going to be a fresh start for us.

Today's News: Our Take

Summer Glau: TV's Terminator Guns for Shocking Reveals

Dec 15, 2008 - by Matt Mitovich

This Monday at 8 pm/ET, Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles presents a midseason finale which reveals one character's shocking secret, sets the stage for other surprises, and ultimately leaves Sarah herself in perhaps one of the last situations you'd imagine to find her in. Summer Glau shares a peek at the episode, shedding light on Cameron's "issues" with John's girlfriend and teasing insight into one of the series' biggest mysteries of all. (After this week, Sarah Connor returns Friday, Feb. 13, leading into the debut of Joss Whedon's Dollhouse.)

... TVGuide.com: Eliza Dushku told me she's excited to have Dollhouse sharing Friday nights with Sarah Connor. She sees it as a night of "female empowerment."

Glau: Yeah, me too. I think it's a good match.

TVGuide.com: Plus, you have that Joss Whedon connection. [Glau starred in the Firefly follow-up film, Serenity.]

Glau: We do, and I think the fans will band together and support us on Friday nights. We had a lot of competition on Monday, so I think this might be a good thing.
