| - Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is a television series launched in 2008 picking up the story of Sarah and John Connor following the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Series producer Josh Friedman considers the series a separate timeline that ignores the events set into motion in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. In this way, the series is an entirely new version of Terminator 3 and continues on from the movie chronology of the first two films. Originally planned for a 13-episode first season, production of the series was suspended after the ninth episode because of a strike by the Writers Guild of America that lasted from November 2007 to February 2008. Following the end of the strike, production did not resume (unlike other series). The Los Angeles Times categorized the series as "on the bubble" (in danger of cancellation) because of declining ratings. The final two produced episodes were broadcast by Fox on March 3, 2008, and this was promoted as a season finale. The network then announced that the series will return for a second season and approved a second season of 13 episodes. Season 2 was started on September 8th 2008 and aired between 8:00 and 9:00 pm on Monday nights. The second half of Season 2 in 2009 was moved onto Friday nights. Fox Enterprises decided not to renew the series for a third season on May 17, 2009. It has, however, been rumored that the show may return in a series of Direct-to-DVD Films. As of June 10, 2010, actors Brian Austin Green and Thomas Dekker announce that the Direct-to-DVD movies are moving forward. Syndicated airings of the series will begin on the SyFy channel in the United States on Thursday, April 7, 2011; despite this Syfy has stated they have no plans to produce original programming based upon Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles or the Terminator franchise. As of Thursday, April 28, 2011 it has been removed from the SyFy schedule and replaced by Star Trek: The Next Generation.

- Written for the television networks by the Irish singer and songwriter Sinéad O'Connor, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was a smash hit with American science fiction fans, spawned two successful seasons and has a possible third season on the way. It was was mentioned as the original inspiration to Arnold Schwarzenegger for the modern Terminator franchise. The series will be filmed in December 21, 2012 yet premiered on a April 01, 2007 thus becoming the first television show to win the Academy Award for "Best Use of Time Travel in a Television Show". The show opened mid-season with a shortened run of nine exciting episodes, before the protests and riots broke out over the "Love-making to a Machine" controversy of the 2008-2009 Writers Guild Strike. Fortunately the strike died down after several months when the country was eventually convinced that "Love-making to a Machine" is 100% safe and enjoyable, and beats many things. Hence the show was renewed for a second season, which began airing on September 8, 2008. The show was canceled in 2009 after 9th Century Fox, still in the dark ages and frightened by the prospect of "too much success" with a television show and some major summer motion picture from the same franchise called Terminator Salvation, officially sent photos of cancellation notices written in turd on the bathroom wall. Fans of the show were each personally mailed flaming bags of shit as a consolation: “I, personally, find myself less than satisfied with the closure provided to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles by my consolatory fiery shitbag. It gives nothing in the way of character development or plot cohesion. To add insult to injury, the flame burns out in about 12 short seconds; Fox can't even spring for a decent accelerant. I can't really say you're missing much.” ~ Entertainment Weekly
