CANCELLED!

[Brian Melanson]

Hey guys I have some news for you. I have decided over this weekend that I would cancel 'The Protectors' The reason for this is that, the show lacked many things and did not have enough depth to it. I was going to re-boot the series as a new series which has the working title of 'AVALON' which was created by Chris Davis and myself. But both me and him talked and I said that 'The Path' is good enough for me right now and that having two shows is a pain in the neck! It really is sooo much stress. So with this 'The Protectors' is cancelled and will not be returning anytime soon. In the near future I may make AVALON but that all depends.

So, thank you all for sticking with this series to the end it's been a tough road getting here and it's been really hard trying to get you this series. But I do offer you 'The Path' which is the series I will be sticking with and I hope you all will enjoy that and all the other shows the VPN has to offer.

And to future showrunners that wish to create a Sci-Fi show, go for it! I would love to see some Science Fiction on here! It could be really fun! I hope to see one very soon for our Fall Lineup! SO as I leave The Protectors behind just remember that Imagination has NO Limits and don't afired be to let your ideas run free! Thanks for all your Faith!

I really support your decision, Brian. I personally believe that although this was a badly executed show, there was a lot of potential and I'm glad that you've decided to look at other ways of tackling this project. I hold a lot of respect for you, giving up on something you've worked hard to develop, and although you didn't quite achieve the success with the Protectors that you may have been hoping for, I'm sure that we'll see this show return once you've gotten everything you've wanted out of the Path Not Taken - which, as a reader, I must say that the show has finally taken a turning point for the best.

I'm glad how maturely you've taken care of the situation, discussing the show's future with Chris, and I really hope that one day you'll return to the project with a better understanding of the genre as I know you were very excited to launch a sci-fi series. Despite this not being a succes, you are to thank for launching both the drama and sci-fi divisions of the network, with the Path Not Taken and The Protectors, and now that we, as a network, have seen the reaction to both genres, we will definitely be looking for more drama and sci-fi shows in the future to complete our line up.

So although we say goodbye to the Protectors, in its shortlived time here on the VPN, we hope to be opening another door for new shows of the same genre - hopefully one of which, somewhere down the line, you may be interested in revisiting.
