USA canceling sci-fi double dose, say reports; alleged post
by 4400 creator says "at least we got to go out with a
bang."

Yesterday brought good news for a pair of USA Network
shows. NBC announced that Monk and Psych would make the
jump from basic cable to prime-time broadcast television in
March, as the network repurposes shows from NBC-owned USA.

Unfortunately, yesterday also brought news for two USA
shows that falls way on the other side of the "good/bad"
spectrum. It all began with a post on the USA message
boards by a user named "SPeters," who claimed to be Scott
Peters, creator and executive producer of The 4400. In his
post he made the sullen announcement that The 4400 has been
canceled, and thanked all the show's fans and crew.

"I just spoke to [star] Joel [Gretsch] and we had a great
talk about what we all accomplished and how much we'll miss
our family that is our crew and our cast... and our fans,"
reads the post. "But at least we got to go out with a bang!
I had an awesome time directing the last episode. I think I
got to make almost every single cast member cry (on
camera). How much fun was that?!"

One may balk at the validity of the post, and the fact that
the username was created only yesterday and has a history
of just that one post probably leads most 4400 fans to
believe someone is just pulling their collective leg.

Unfortunately, not only does it look the cancelation is
true, but it appears The 4400 isn't alone. TV Guide's
Michael Ausiello is reporting that USA is canceling both
The 4400 and The Dead Zone. Both sci-fi shows anchored
USA's Sunday nights and last aired new episodes in
September.

The 4400, about a group of alien abductees who return to
Earth, finished its fourth season and developed a loyal fan
base. The Dead Zone, based loosely on the Stephen King
novel of the same name and starring Anthony Michael Hall,
leaves us after six seasons.

The USA Network has not made an official announcement on
either show. Requests for comment from parent company NBC
Universal were not returned as of press time.
