Agreed. I’d guess the writers knew that cancellation was a possibility, and wrote with that in mind.

The good: Plot, characters, and the actors doing some campaign work to get the word out on the show.

The bad: The name, and more importantly the lack-of-campaign by the rest of FX marketing to get the word out. Many people thought the show was about dogs.

The next: Hope to see these people in other shows and endeavors.

Yeah. Had a feeling it would be, part of the reason it’s so good is that it doesn’t conform to any obvious ‘hook’.

Satisfied with the final episode, though – more ‘final’ that most season finales.

Very very sad this was cancelled.

Thanks for mentioning this one Tom! Watched the first episode now and I am already hooked, seems good ;)

Thanks for post about this, I love the show.

I remember seeing Donal Logue in this fun film called Tao of Steve. He won some award at Sundance for it, and you get to see him in a fat suit.

I got bored during the first episode (exactly as the rich man was being set up as an evil man, but not, y’know, the kind of man who would throw out trespassers…). Which episode should I skip to so I can get a better feel of the show?

On your recommendation I downloaded the first 5 episodes and watched them over the weekend.
Thanks for the tip, it’s a great show!

I watched the first five episodes in the past few days and this show is great.

I’d love this show even more if it didn’t have the same curse on it as Wonder Falls and Drive, and Firefly.
Quirky new show breaks mold, produced by Tim Minear, airs on Fox, canceled before end of first season.

Oh yeah! I came to that late, so I had it mentally filed as super old.

Breaking Bad! You’re forgetting Breaking Bad! The first two seasons are easily some of the best TV I’ve ever watched. I’m only not including the third because I haven’t seen it yet.

I’m in total agreement with you about Terriers, though – I’ve never seen a show so solidly conceived right from episode one. It’s a damn shame that it’s only managed to attract about thirteen viewers. I’m almost scared to keep watching it because I don’t want to get too invested in characters that are probably going to be yanked off the air in a few weeks’ time. It’s like asking somebody on life support out on a date.
