OK, I know you hate Blood ...
Question: OK, I know you hate
Blood Ties, but cut me some slack. It is my guilty pleasure, plus it is the best vampire show on right now. I noticed that the last two episodes of this season are only going to be shown on the Internet. Does this mean the show has been canceled or is it just fallout from the strike?
Answer: Kim, you naughty thing, riling all of those
Moonlight fans by calling this anemic pretender the "best vampire show" of the moment. Here's the situation, as explained by Lifetime:
Blood Ties' companion shows,
Lisa Williams: Life Among the Dead and
America's Psychic Challenge (seriously, I'm not making up these titles), reached their season finales before
Blood Ties did, so the network decided to air the remaining episodes online because the "Psy-Fridays" franchise was no longer intact. Which may not make much sense to fans but can be read as a lack of support for this show by the network. I'm told
Blood Ties' fate hasn't been yet determined, but I wouldn't be too optimistic. Still, anything's possible, given that this show is an acquisition from Canada and not an original Lifetime production, so the decision will probably be more economic than creative.
