Final Two Unaired Episodes of “Masters of Science Fiction” to Air on SPACE (Canada) October 21, 2007 11:19 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in ABC, Masters of Science Fiction, News, Space, Television.add a comment
When ABC picked up the science fiction series Masters of Science Fiction, they only committed to airing four of the six produced episodes. The series premiered with weak ratings, and with the exception of a one week increase, remained low, so the network saw no legitimate reason to pick up the final two episodes.
Viewers in Canada though won’t be missing out on those last two episodes. SPACE has picked up the series and will begin airing it, all six episodes, this coming November 4th.
