Prime Time Television... Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is on Fox network on Fridays at eight P.M. Although it is not the winner of the time slot, it is a fairly popular show, according to tvweek.com.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is one of my favorite shows on television. It is a spin off from the Terminator movie series. The acting is not incredible, and the plot is extremely far fetched, but it is a very entertaining show. There is great action, every episode there are gun fights and explosions. There are killer robots, both good and evil (one of the girl robots is very attractive).

The whole concept of the Terminator series involves robots and people from the future coming back in time to assassinate certain people and protect certain people. In the near future, robots and humans will begin fighting for control of the world. A robot is sent back to kill John Connor (the future leader of the humans), and a robot is sent back to protect him from the robot.

A new Terminator movie is scheduled to be released in summer of 2009. It will be very interesting to see if the plots of the show and the new movie will be intertwined or not.

An interesting point relating to the marketing aspect of the show is how ads are Incorporated into the show. The new Dodge Ram is clearly featured throughout the show. It is always clean and the camera is always flashing across the huge logo on the front or on the "Ram" logos on the side.
