shadowkatWell, it's been confirmed on three sites:
zapzit.com, WB, and Herc's ainitcoolnews - WB has cancelled ATS. We'll still get all 22 episodes of this season. We just won't get a Season 6. ie. It's not being renewed.
People are currently signing a petition to save the series or keep it from being cancelled. If interested?

Well that was the mature, adult response. Sigh. I've wandered the boards and it doesn't look good. Bronze Beta and David Fury apparently state a fan campaign won't work this time, that WB had made their decision. What annoys me the most is the crappy shows that WB did renew. I also feel this urge to throw meats and vegetables at US viewers with Neilsen boxes who watch The OC instead of ATS. Although I'm pretty sure the OC had zip to do with it. What probably got ATS cancelled is this new trend in "family-oriented dramas" - which everyone is doing right now. ATS was the only show in WB's lineup that didn't hit that, which is one of the reasons I loved it so much. Why people feel the need to copy each other, I'll never understand. It happens in publishing. It happens in Fashion.
True art - is something that stands out from the crowd and isn't a carbon copy.
Ugh, feeling a sense of inertia tonight - combination of having no control over my body, my employment situation, and now entertainment choices being limited. It will pass. These things always do. But really annoyed right now. Want to throw vegetables and meats at people.

The family oriented entertainment trend really has jack to do with family and everything to do with money, which I'm sure you know...television isn't about art, and if it happens to stumble across any, the execs do their best to obliterate it. sigh.
Here, I have an extra tomato....
