The freshman J.J. Abrams thriller will not return.
May 9, 2012
Fox has cancelled new drama Alcatraz, which premiered earlier this year in January as a mid-season replacement. The series got off to a solid start in the ratings, but viewership dropped off significantly over the course of its 13 episodes. The show's last four episodes rated a series low 1.6 in the key adults 18-49 demographic, which was clearly not enough for Fox to bring back the series.
Also cancelled by Fox today was freshman drama The Finder.

I can't believe they cancelled this show, this was one of my favorite shows. God forbid they keep something different, or at least finish the story line. This really sucks!! I want to know what happened!!!!

Two great shows. Alcatraz AND the Finder. I guess FOX likes the brainless shows like the ones they have on Sunday nights. Some of the shows that were renewed over these two makes me wonder who's running that company!

I really liked this show alot! It was different enough and had a twist to it. Every new season Fox has new shows that I fall in love with only to have them cancelled without even a fair chance. It's very discouraging. I barely ever watch this channel anymore. Nothing much appealing left on it except the animated Sunday shows. The rest of the week...? not much there.

I liked this show being from UK were every other show is either a repeat or a reality show I kind of rely on US for stuff to watch not renewing this sucks, in future I will find out if Fox's is producer of a series and just not watch it as they seem to cancel anything that requires an attention span!

It's starting to get hard to find shows I like. So when people cancel another show I really enjoy my list gets shorter. The cancellations have been brutal this year. I am so so tired of reality shows, cop dramas (exception Grimm cause it's got fantasy), courtroom and medical dramas. /sigh

This was another show that for some reason did not have the magnatism to hold my interest. Watched one show and tried to watch it again the next week but lost interest. The cast was good butsomehow everything did not click, did not seem real. I watch a lot of SyFy shows but could not find myself believeing in this one. To the cast I wish you the best hope you all will find a new home in another show

I liked the show, but am not surprised. The ratings really went south, and honestly, it started spinning its wheels. Kind of got frustrated by the season finale.

I always say, I will never watch another show on Fox. But, I do and then it gets cancelled. When will I learn? Fox sucks you in and then lets you go. *shakes fist*

Seriously! - whats the point in following these shows if they just end on a cliffhanger.
And as for midseason breaks!?
FOX sucks.
