‘Human Target’: A show gunning for a third season

April 05, 2011 | 11:11 a.m.

“Human Target” continued its campaign to be picked up by Fox for a third season with a strong showing at WonderCon. Our Jevon Phillips was in the room…

With executive producer Matthew Miller and stars Mark Valley, Janet Montgomery and Jackie Earl Haley, the panel — moderated by IGN’s Jenna Busch — began by talking a bit about the show’s new dynamic. Two female characters, played by Montgomery and Indira Varma, were added to the “boys’ club” trio of Valley, Haley and Chi McBride.

Valley said adding people to the roster meant new challenges for Chance, the lead character he plays, who slowly gets to break out of his solitary ways.

“Their presence forced a new dynamic on Chance and the guys,” said Haley, whose character, Guerrero, also deals with the influx of new blood, though in a different way. Guerrero can be “paternal,” Haley said,  “but other days she bugs” him, and “he wants to throw her off of a building.”

Who, specifically? That would be Montgomery’s character. The actress described the transition in the show as an easy one, joking with her action-oriented costars: “They’re kind of feminine anyway, so I fit right in!”

One of the first audience questions addressed the quandary the show found itself in, with a fan using online analysis from the site TVByTheNumbers.com to tell the panel that they seemed to be in a race with “Chicago Code,” “Lie to Me” and other shows to get picked up by Fox.

“You know way more than us, sir! You should tell us if we’re being picked,” Montgomery said.  The phrase ‘if we get a Season 3′ was often uttered as questions were answered, including one that the audience responded to enthusiastically about bringing composer Bear McCreary back to do the music on the show.

Miller explained that the music went a different way in the second season as the show shifted with new cast members and a new core philosophy of bringing Valley’s Chance out of his shell. But he did acknowledge the controversy.

“I had no idea the backlash that changing the opening theme music would have. … If I’d known, we might have gone a different way, and the opening theme will be revisited in Season 3.”

The cast’s love for the show, and its Vancouver home, was evident, and a couple of cast members confessed to being fans of the show outside of just working on it. Valley said he “reads the script like it’s a comic book.” And Haley enjoys it so much that he is conflicted over his work relationship with the show: “I’m not sure I like working on the show more or just watching it as a fan.”

In the end, an audience member asked how they could help Fox decide to keep “Human Target” on the schedule, and many colorful suggestions were made. Miller told the audience that Twitter and Facebook and social media did get the network’s attention, and Haley offered up that the audience could “oil themselves up” and put a video on YouTube urging the network to keep the show — the suggestion being a parody of a scene in which Montgomery coated herself in oil and climbed through a duct.

An earlier suggestion by Haley, when Busch asked for ideas on what to send the network as a show of fan support, was evocative of the dark humor and dichotomous nature of many characters on the show: “Guns.”

    HUMAN TARGET is one of the most entertaining shows on television. My wife and I have looked forward to it each time it's been on–but we've been appalled at how many times it's been moved from time slot to time slot. NOT FAIR. We like the show so much, however, that we've searched it out and not missed an episode, and continually recommended it to others. We hope it gets that third season. If it didn't do as well as expected this 2nd season, this is primarily due to how badly it was treated, not really having a chance of settling into a repeated night and repeated hour. Huge entertainment value: well-written, well-characterized, and plotted, and we very much like all the characters.

    • kelee says:

      I completley agree with your statement! I love, LOVE this show and its characters! My 9 yr old even watches it with me. I think it could do a lot better if it had a stationary slot!

    • sylenda says:

      I agree, the show is the most intelligent new show in town. Write to Mr. Kevin Reilly, President FOX, P.O. Box 900, Beverly Hills, Ca 90213-0900 and tell him your thoughts. I am starting a campaign up here in Alaska.

    • Hang Li says:

      Yes…I'm also supporting mr. allen here….I think this show was very entertaining and it is sad if they want to cancel it……NOT FAIR!!!!! If you FOX don't want to continue it might as well you sell to other network so that we can continue watch THIS SHOW..!

    • K. T. says:

      I very much agree with your statement and hope that Fox recognizes it's got a winner.

    • Joe says:

      Why would they kill a show that makes sense for all viewers…. Fox you dissapoint me..

      • BEVERLY JOHNSON says:

        I agree…waiting for new showings….
        FOX PICK UP THIS SERIES…..IT IS WINNER…..ESPECIALLY WITH PEOPLE LOOKING FOR GOOD ENTERTAINMENT THAT EVERYBODY IN FAMILY CAN LOOK AT.; I will write….
        FOX…KEVIN REILLY PLEASE WAKE UP AND KEEP THIS SHOW…..

    • Lance says:

      I agree 100%!!!

    • Dave B says:

      Human target is the best show on tv now by far I would like to see it run for at least 6years

    • Daniel says:

      My family and I never miss it. We have called our new baby boy Chance 8-17-11

    • Bryan Ross says:

      HUMAN TARGET is really one of the best series We have seen and hope that series 3 will be released.

  2. kim says:

    This show is awesome. I just started watching it at the end of last season. I think its hugely underrated and has a chance of really catching momentum. It just needs a chance. ( pun intended!!!)

  3. George says:

    As a former professional bodyguard, I love the show for its inventiveness and characters. Well-written, well-acted, and fun. It's entertaining, just what most T.V. isn't!

  4. George says:

    The show is well-written, well-acted, and fun. As a former professional bodyguard, I also think it is inventive and entertaining, adjectives which often elude descriptions of most T.V. Let's hope Fox renews this worthy series.

  5. Sal says:

    I really wanted the show to be a continuation of the comic

  6. Karona says:

    I really like this show and hope it gets renewed.

  7. Steve says:

    Human Target is my type of series and it keeps getting better. Please bring back for another season. I am getting tired of the same boring stuff.

  8. Herschel Brim says:

    This compelling show is a nice change from the trite and hackneyed. It would be a shame to see it go.

  9. Wendy says:

    Pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeeee pick Human Target up for a 3rd season. It was one of the better shows out there. The dynamics between the characters are just marvelous. It would be a sad day if the show is not picked up again.

  10. CLC says:

    I love the show, but I must confess I like the first season much more than the second. I would think they could evolve the characters without adding female characters. The show was unique, the addition of the female characters takes away from some of the shows uniqueness. However, if I had to choose, I would take a third season with the female characters than no third season at all.

  11. Tammy Anderson says:

    Seriously, it's like a movie every week….you don't see that on tv anymore. This show is popular by word of mouth because there was no advertising for it by the network. I can't imagine how popular it would be if they actually advertised it!! PLEASE renew it!

  12. Chris says:

    I love the show. We have to have a 3rd season now that the relationships are starting to develop. The characters are great and the writing is perfect. It keeps you wanting to watch every week. There are not many shows out there like this anymore.

  13. Dude says:

    Human target was ruined in season 2 and I hope Matt Miller is not allowed to destroy what was once 'must watch tv' instead of the Chuck clone he tried to turn it into, for a third season.

  14. Dude says:

  15. glgarfield says:

    The show had a great first season, all action. Season two got waaay too girly, lost its action mandate and in the final ep we got Perils of Pauline. Lose the women, they serve no purpose but to slow it down with talk and emo, get back to the action and please do not let Chance fall in love again unless its with a gun.

    • Pat says:

      Shoot! I accidentally hit thumbs down but I agree with you 100%. The action and the violence was what made season one so great!

    • Vicki J. says:

      The second season was an INSULT to the first! Bring it back, but go with the original. It wasn't broken!!

    • singsopera says:

      I partially agree. the girls slowed it down but Chance should fall in love at some point, not necessarily with the girl/boss.

  16. Lauren says:

    This show is a fantastic escape. Its plots are inventive, the characters are developed well, and its just fun to watch. Fox keeps screwing up by canceling great shows before they even get to take their spotlight. With a network as stupid as fox is, I am surprised anyone would want their show to air with them. Try for TNT, or another network if fox blunders on this one too.

  17. Terry says:

    Love this show, taking it off the air would be a big mistake. A lot of shows that are really great do not always start off strong. This show just needs a little more time for people to discover it. Give it a chance and I think you will have a winner.

  18. Renee says:

    This is a must have for me. I'll even follow it to cable!

  19. Rarmaus says:

    I loved both seasons. Action packed and a little spice never hurt anyone…. This doesn't seem to be the type of show Fox has, between cartoons and pretty much a one room setting, so I thought they were uping their stakes…. Lets hope they still do.

  20. Chance says:

    I also think this show is great and would like to see it come back for more seasons. It is just what FOX needs in their weekly line up!

  21. Belendia says:

    I have liked the show from the beginning and have been very upset that Fox keeps changing its time slots. Fox you have a great show here, don't blow it. There are enough reality and scifi out there, we need just plain old GREAT entertainment.

  22. duke says:

    Best show on TV sense Hill Street Blues.

  23. sara says:

    Season 2 was awesome!! Loved the stories, the action, humor, and the romance. This is a high quality show. Yet, it is simply not advertised well and gets shoved around. Maybe they can move to TNT or USA network?

  24. Teacher says:

    One of the two shows my family and I regularly watch (or tape and watch later) together. It needs to be renewed!!

  25. Jolene Galloway says:

    Please, Please keep Human Target on TV. I love everything about this show!!!

  26. D. Foxx says:

    Keep this show on the air! It's one of the few TV shows over the years that I go out of my way to watch. The characters are like old friends and the writing is crisp and engaging.

  27. Dude says:

    Keep the show….one of the few show my whole family like to watch….a great moment away from the tv reality junk…..

  28. Anne says:

    This show is great. The females slowed it down a bit,but I’d rather have them than no show at all. Too many intense crime and Law shows. This is like a movie a week,action,humor and drama. Definitly more entertaining than most of the crime shows and not as ridiculous as the sitcomes.

  29. Wanda says:

    I love this show. It really needs a third season. There is so much junk on television and this is certainly not a part of that. It is a quality show that my whole family loves. Please bring it back!!!!

  30. going postal says:

    quite upsetting that one of the better shows on TV has a problem of continuation and time slots and confusion for all its fans out there. Which is is and has been me.

  31. D.D.Mao says:

    You want to know how to save the show? DUMP THE BROADS! The writers can't seem to figure out how to write their characters in the storyline without them getting in the way……which is getting annoying. This is making the show a comedy instead of an action adventure. By having a romance between Chance and Pucci is only further proof that they have no idea what to do with her.

  32. jase says:

    I liked season 1 better too. I liked the occasional female agent. That recurring character had good chemistry with Chance. I hope we get several more season's it's one of the best shows on tv and like a movie every episode.

  33. aphrotrite says:

    Human Target NEEDS a 3rd season. This show is FANTASTIC! Heck, even my Grandma who doesn't watch much TV loves it. Please give the show a chance. It keeps getting better and more and more fans are finding it and loving it!

  34. Lily says:

    Please, please pick up Human Target again. It's one of the best shows you have.

  35. Kannberg says:

    My husband and I both love Human Target….Please continue the show!!!!!

  36. Janey says:

    I watched season 2 and I started searching for when season 3 would start. I HAVE to see a season 3! This show is the best!

  37. Cass says:

    Human Target is my favorite show. Keep it and Lie to Me, my second favorite show. These are the only shows I watch on TV.

  38. dalefan says:

    This show is a thrill ride, fun and fast-paced entertainment with a cast of diverse and talented actors. I look forward to an anticpated and well-deserved third season.

  39. Tom says:

    This was a great show until they brought in Ms Prissy. Now the audience has gone away and renewal is in doubt. If it ain't broke- DON'T FIX IT.

  40. Pauline says:

    I love" Human Target"!!!!! What a wonderful cast, please Fox, bring the show back!!!!!

  41. Greg says:

    Great show! Please renew it. It's one of my favorite shows. Keep it in one time slot.

  42. Ehilgreen says:

    Human Target is te best action adventure show on TV. Period.

  43. Bess says:

    My husband and I love Human Target! It is one of the only shows that we both enjoy. Please renew for many more seasons.

  44. BIGMIKE says:

    we want human target back leave it to fox they have a killer show and they cancel it fox is in forth place behind ABC CBS and NBC O WHEN YOE BRING BACK HUMAN TARGET YOU COULD MOVE UP A FEW SPOTS

  45. Debra Ganoe says:

    My son's and I absolutely love this show. We are dishearted for our inability to find our favorite show and have missed most of this season. Now we discovered the show may be cancelled. That's not right; the actors have all made their characters believable and quite entertaining. Please, don't cancel this show, this is one show I can watch with my son's that we don't have to hear the "f" bomb.

  46. Momo says:

    This show is a breath of fresh air. please keep it going…my husband and I love it. We have many friends watching it and we don't want to be canceled… The cast is fantastic.
    Don't judge by the numbers,as people record it and watch it at other times, due to the fact it was flipped around so much! Best show …keep going on.

  47. Bertha says:

    Don't let Human Target disappear – tired of "reality" shows, "talent?"shows and how much weight "large " people lost. Our family never misses this one – BRING IT BACK PLEASE1

  48. PKG says:

    I love "Human Target", and am looking forward to a third season. I never miss an episode, but wish they would quit messing with the time slot. I always find it, but it would be so nice if I didn't have to search for it.

  49. STEVE says:

    LOVE THE SHOW.

  50. Sharon Witmer says:

    I have watched Human Target from the beginning and love the show. Not renewing it for the Fall line-up would be a mistake. It would be one less reason to watch FOX during the week.

  51. dari says:

    This show, Human Target is great! We really would like to watch to see the third season!!!
    Fox, please pick up this show! Don't make a big mistake!

  52. Kristie says:

    Great show and very entertaining. It would be a shame if you pulled it.

  53. Roni Napier says:

    Please keep" Human Target " for a third season.
    It is one of the most well concieved, written, and executed T.V. series ever produced. The cast and crew are professional and all of the actors are extraorinarally talented and dedicated.
    Mark Valley has the natural chiseled face of a well drawn comic book hero, and he has the experience and skills to play the part of "Chance" and to carry the show. Jackie Earle Haley always turns in a top-ranking performance for his character. Indira Varma is always good at portraying the stoic woman ("Rome I").
    The plot centers around three men who are trained killers, two assassins and one cop. By trade they are all leathal, but by heart they are all noble in their fight to protect the innocent. How can you top that!?
    The characters are all misfits of one kind or another, but they all have redeeming qualities which make them all gratifying to identify with for an action-packed 45 minutes!

  54. Faithful Viewer says:

    Please bring back for third season. Is a great release from all the worries of the day. Jackie Earl Haley is fabulous.

  55. B.renda Furches says:

    Please bring it back for season 3. Great stories with an international feel. I'm so tired of clicking the remote past "reality shows." Human Target is full of good acting and good storylines.

  56. Bananaman09 says:

    Keep Human Target on for the 3rd season so I

    can see how it works out. And if not for

    my sake but the others sakes keep the show

    on as I enjoy the show as well as Bones!

  57. Mom of 3 says:

    Human Target is a great show! Love the mix of action and comedy, and loved the references to other movies/shows (Die Hard and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, among others). This show is really well written, which is very rare! The characters are well acted and have a really great chemistry together. I watched Human Target regularly on Hulu.com, that way I could avoid the commercials and didn't have to worry about what day/time it was on (terrible that the time slot kept shifting- if not for Hulu.com, I never would have been able to keep up.) The only other TV shows that I watch are the Simpsons and Glee, and I really think that Human Target belongs in the same league! Hoping they get renewed! [As an aside, anyone else wondering how valid the Nielsen rating system is in the days of Hulu.com, TiVo, Youtube.com and other forms of streaming video?}

  58. Don Dooley says:

    I absolutely agree with those that say the second season was so messed up by moving the time slot and when it was to premier oops they delayed it forever. I respectfully request its return and please lock it into one specific time slot. No moving around you folks at FOX will be happily surprised

  59. Cappy says:

    Having mostly given up watching TV due to it's mundane nature of cloning more of what barely works, especially reality TV, I was brought back somewhat by the first episode of Human Target. The first season was awesome. However, the second season lost it's edge. Chance was no longer a "Bond on steroids". Rather, he became bondage to estrogen. Guerrero is edgy and should remain a bit sinister. Chi McBride is "right on". Dump this beholding to girlie-boss thing. Chance was best as a "man on a mission", not a man needing permission. I expect the return of Human Target and the network that picks it up will then be my favorite network, but I really don't like Fox much. Yet they do have Fringe. Yes!

  60. kMcvicker says:

    I really like this show and I'm not a TV watcher. It's fun and entertaining! I'm looking forward to the 3rd season.

  61. Ortforshort says:

    I add my vote to keep the show on. Each episode has been thoroughly enjoyable, beginning to end

  62. Mike says:

    We need more shows like this. After all how many more stupid cartoon shows or law firm shows can we handle? This is a good show and we need to fill the 24 void

  63. Jules says:

    This show is awesome!!! Come on Fox – do the right thing!!

  64. Pat says:

    I really like the show don't take it off the air it would be a big mistake.

  65. aerorx says:

    Love the show, please keep in going!

  66. carol says:

    I think this is one of the best shows in a very long time. I missed a few shows just because of the network games with the time slot but now i set my dvr. Hopefully this show will be picked up for another seasn. It is very rare to have a show where each of the players is a full character and one that on their own merit I enjoy.

  67. Spencer says:

    Human Target must be renewed —period!!!! This show has great interplay between ta diverse set of characters. Each character is strong and the actors do a wonderful job bringing out unique qualities that enhances each role.

  68. RealisticExpectation says:

    I so want this show back.

    The tongue in cheek humor is just what I need after a long day. I hate reality television with a fire that burns, and like something like "Human Target" that shows that both humor and creativity are out there in the world of scripted television.

  69. bjr says:

    As an older couple my husband & I love this show, the best show ever, have seen every episode and
    can't wait for season 3…….and as read before try to keep it on the same time slot and it will be bigger than ever.

  70. Rene Rangel says:

    Please keep the show… It is entertaining and a worth while show. It should take the time slots from some of those reality shows… Keep Human Target, we need a Season 3…..

  71. Julie says:

    I really liked the first season. Wondered about the second with the addition of women, but they add a nice touch. But don't let the men characters go soft. If Gurero is a torture expert, don't let him look like a softy when it comes time to torture. I don't wanna see it, but having him be discrete if front of the women of the show is a nice touch. You have to have a third season. The characters' histories are getting revealed. This is one of a handful of decent suspenseful shows left!!!!!

  72. DaveSchell says:

    Season three, please.

  73. Ruth says:

    Please keep this show for a third season.

  74. Cupcake says:

    This is a Fantastic show! We've watched every episode and Reruns when they are on. We love action, and that is so seldom found on the small screen. This show was great both seasons, as long as we have Chance, he is Awesome! We love all of the Charachters, please keep it on for season 3 and promote it, stop moving it from one night to another. I think it's been on Mondays, Weds and Fridays, We have the series set on our DVR, but some people won't have that luxury and may miss episodes. After FOX cancelled the Good Guys, it's hard to trust them and start a New show, because they don't give it all they've got to stand with the shows.

  75. Cupcake says:

    This show is a WINNER FOX, don't let it get away.

  76. Marie Malloy says:

    Another vote for keeping the show. Not only do we watch it in real time (meaning we watch the commercials), we record it to view again. OK – I admit, we fast forward through the commericals on the subsequent viewings, but we still glimpses of the advertisers even then.

    Please bring it back, FOX, and give it some promo time.

  77. Chris says:

    Please have the 3rd season. I got so hook on to it when it show on cable in singapore. Hard to come by a good show like that. Really love it, please renew, pleaseeeeeeee……….

  78. Pudentain says:

    It would bea loss if this show is not picked up for another season.

  79. Robert Hladik Sr says:

    Come on, you have to have a 3rd season. You just cant stop after 2. Chance, Winston, Ames, Mrs. Pucci, and my favorite character Guerrero. This is one of the best TV shows I have seen, & I don’t watch that much TV. But I know a good show when I see one. In the U.S. the series premiere attracted 10.12 million viewers, and dropped to 7.24 million viewers for the season finale. That’s only because that STUPID show “American Idol” came and took the slot. Idol; to me is just one big waste of time. It’s F'n stupid. I don't want to see a bunch of people who THINK they can sing; I want a show with action, comedy, suspense, drama, & attitude all rolled into one, & Human Target has all that. We all need a 3rd & 4th season. If the writers cant come up with anything good for the show, just ask the fans. You'll get an ear full of ideas….

  81. Jim says:

    Can the Nielson ratings account for the large on-line viewing population? I enjoy the show greatly. My schedule doesn't allow for broadcast "prime time" televison. How can I make my voice heard?

  82. Kdevin says:

    It's a great show and my wife and I tape it if we have to but we don't miss it….DON"T CANCEL IT. The addition of the ladies was fine but leave it alone now and expand from this cast

  83. Momo says:

    Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez pick this show up again and give it a chance. ALL AGES ARE WATCHING and we are loving it. The 'FAMILY" works, that CAST is just "FAN"tastic. Don't drop it. I would take it over all the junk on ABC and other stations. FOX it's going to end up like 24 if you keep it going and people catch it! Thanks.

  84. Momo says:

    Please don't cancel this show it is one of the best btu not everyone has had the "Chance" to see it
    due to the fact it moved around so much. They dynamics of the Team are great, love the little bit of romance and the how everyone fits together like FAMILY. You are crazy to let it go, it will be another 24 if you move it right . Mark Valley and his crew will keep us all loving it.
    Please keep it on. Thanks.

  85. Kevin says:

    Human Target is an excellent show and should be renewed for a 3rd season. Only in the final stages of season 2 did we see Guerrero's true character.

    Chance's nemesis 'Baptise' is still at large.

    With the show having new characters 'Ilsa Pucci' and 'Ames', many new avenues can be explored.
    Ilsa can manage the company, with Chance's input, of course, and Chance, Winston, Guerrero and Ames can help out clients.

    Its' truely a brilliant show which should be renewed and given a fixed day & time slot for airing all season.

  86. Donna says:

    I watch this show regularly and I think it should be renewed. I think its better than some of the other
    shows on tv now.

  87. Dana says:

    My interest in Human Target was piqued with the pre-launch ads: "he becomes the target, therby forcing the threat to expose itself, and removes the threat" or sometihng like that.

    I thought that shortly into Season One they got away from this vein – there wasn't a whole lot of "becoming the target" going on. In other words, it was still a great show, but the underlying THEME was gone! I thought this with every episode of Season Two; I immensely enjoyed the ride, but the whole time I was thinking, "how's he a 'human target' again?"

    I'm reading on Wikipedia that, as of today, the show is officially cancelled. This is a shame, because I did enjoy the show (it's in my top five, along with Burn Notice and Hawaii Five-0). It will be missed – as a previous commenter said, 'Baptiste (sic) is still at large'. :(

    HUMAN TARGET
    Chance was bulletproof to everything but bad writers.
    Miller ruined the show in one short season.

  89. Englishfan says:

    My colleague introduces Human Target season one to me and I have just finished watching Season 2. Thought the show is great. The plots are good, action-packed and the actors are great. Their abilities to be individual but also as a group working together makes it worth watching. Especially, injecting the 2 female characters into the show. Have seen Indira Varma's performances in both Torchwood(BBC) and Bones(Fox) and think she is brilliant and particularly her British accent. It will be great if the show could at least runs for 1 more season with a good wrap-up for all the characters.

  90. DandyGirl says:

    This is one AWESOME show!!! I can't believe there is a question about renewing it for a 3rd
    season!! GREAT actors and writers!! I looked forward to watching this show each week!!
    Keep it on the air!!

  91. Steve says:

    ‘Medium’ got dumped by NBC,got picked-up by
    CBS, and ran for three more years. Sold lots
    of ‘Ad’ time, too. ‘H.T.’could do the same.

  92. Brozar says:

    Human Target needs to return for a 3rd season ! It was (and hopefully will be) the only show that I looked forward to watching every week. It is a unique show in a world of time wasting "reality" drivel.

  93. elmar says:

    Pleasssssse bring back human target.I live in South Africa and I was sick to hear that fox cancelled the best tv series there is.I absolutly love human target.So in the series fairness bring it back please.It is truely entertianment at its best.

  94. elmar says:

    Please fox bring it back.

  95. Heather Williams says:

    I hope fox picks up a 3rd season. It's truthfully the only fox show I watched. I don't know what is wrong with the tv industry that any decent show that everyone loves gets cancelled. I've been waiting, not so patiently for season 3 after falling in love with the new characters in season 2. I seriously hope that fox reconsiders. I told all of my friends (also fans of human target) to post complaints to fox and let them know that we want our show back.

  96. Joe says:

    Human Target is a GREAT show. The FOX network has had other fan favorite shows, such as "Strange Luck" and "The Lone Gunmen" and has cancelled them after ONLY one season. What did they ALL have in common? (Like Human Target) These shows were all INTELLIGENT shows, unlike any other shows on broadcast television at the time. By today's standards the original "Twilight Zone" series would have been an abject failure if it had been on the FOX television network. In my opinion, FOX would rather emulate the other networks and dumb down their shows, rather than set themselves apart from the other TV networks. More programs for idiots are coming and FOX intends to lead the way. FOX, DO SOMETHING RIGHT FOR A CHANGE! KEEP HUMAN TARGET ON THE AIR AND ON THE BROADCAST SCHEDULE!!!

  97. Char says:

    This is one of the best shows on tv. It is fun, clever and family friendly! Please renew Human Target, be BOLD and give it another CHANCE! Or consider a move to the USA Network where it would fit right in with those great shows.

  98. don says:

    Please bring them back. One of the best on TV

  99. Jan Miletich says:

    My husband and I just ordered the first full season of "Human Target". If you love this program, this is the way to catch up. We have had many nights of good entertainment watching the three discs. I will be sad when we are through. I do hope that the higher-ups in programming listen to the public and give a third season. The comments seem to be what we are feeling-why is it shuffed around?The only way that we were able to keep up this season was to program our recorder to only record the new episodes. Good luck, fans.

  100. K. Taylor says:

    The show is really good. I miss it . I hope Fox realizes that it has a winner.

  101. MICKIE says:

    I STARTED WATCHING THIS FANTASTIC SHOW FROM THE VERY START AND IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS AND THE STARS DO SUCH AN AWSOME JOB. THERE IS JUST EOUGH HUMOR, ACTION AND ROMANCE TO BALANCE OUT A WELL ROUNDED SHOW. I REALLY HOPE AND PRAY THAT THE NETWORK HAS ENOUGH SENSE TO BRING IT BACK FOR ANOTHER SEASON…IT SEEMS LIKE ALL THE GOOD SHOWS GO AND THE BAD ONES STAY, I HOPE THEY PROVE ME WRONG ON THIS….HOPE TO SEE MORE OF HUIMAN TARGET VERY VERY SOON.

  102. Howard C says:

    I am so unhappy that Fox has cancelled Human Target. I will refuse to watch any of the new shows scheduled to replace it. There are many alternatives out there other than FOX.

  103. bucbucks says:

    I hope FOX brings this show back, I'm sick of "reality" and unscriped programs. When that's all that's on I watch reruns of NCIS. Human Target is the best show on FOX sense 24.

  104. Digger says:

    I discovered Human Target on HULU and watched every episode from season 1 and 2, I can't wait for the 3rd season.

  105. Roxi says:

    More Human Target! My husband and I love this show.

  106. Grace Humphrey says:

    I think this is one of the most action packed shows I have seen in years on tv not to mention they actually have great story lines with believable plots. Great characters as well. My favorite show. Pleaded dont take it away.

  107. Ani says:

    In Europe, we can only get to see this TV show on the internet. We have become great fans and it is so short-sighted of Fox to not do a third season. The scripts are great, so is the acting. Next to NCIS, it is our family’s favourite show. Fox should at least try it our on one of their channels over the sky satellite net work. They would find a huge fan network and could sell the show successfully worldwide. But then again, we know what they do with really great series that are refreshingly different, best example Firefly series, which has meanwhile reached cult status! TV ratings in this day and age with internet and so many other media means is bollocks. Listen to your viewers, don’t just read your Nielson reports.

  108. noyb says:

    PLEASE BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!!! GET RID OF ALL THE REALITY SHOWS AND PUT SOME REAL SHOWS ON LIKE THIS ONE…LOVE THIS SHOW.

  109. noyb says:

    Human Target wouldn't of lost so many viewers if FOX would of made up their mind of what day and time they were going to air it.Most people will lose interest because they don't want to chase a show to watch or have to choose between one of their other favorites.Also, if they wouldn't put it on at the same day and time that other prime time shows are showing and they would of put it on a scheduled night and time it would of made it. Hate to say this but I used to watch House religiously and I don't even care about it anymore now because it is getting old and drug out.They should cancel that and put Human Target in it's place.Or get rid of the reality shows.Way too many of them.
    How are you supposed to get a true rating if people don't know when and what day and time it's going to air or if it's gonna air at all.SHEESH!!!!! HUMAN TARGET NEVER GOT A FAIR CHANCE….

  110. Amber says:

    Please Please Please Bring back Human Target! Guerrero is one of the best characters EVER to be on Tv, there are so few shows that are really interesting, you have a good one here, don’t give up on it! Action, Humor & really great charactors! All the “reality” shows make me want to only watch HBO!

  111. Darrell says:

    Human Target is great, my favorite show.
    If I can't watch it, I tape it on the DVR.
    Both my sons age 34 & 30 also watch.
    Please renew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  112. Missing Human Target says:

    Please bring back HumanTarget??? It is a great show that is out of the standard box we have to select from. Every channel has some type of police show and it is getting old. I have watched from the first episode and if I am working since I am a swing shifter it is on DVR. The wife and I always make the night of it with dinner and the show. Now what? More police shows? Make those shows more real showing how the DA pleeds cases that us Police bust our butts to put together and the bad guy walks. Show that the CSI team does not show to your house since your tv was stolen.

  113. Bobby says:

    Act like you have some sense. Bring back this great show!

  114. Joe says:

    PLEASE bring back HT. I never missed an episode. You put together a great cast and they seem to have really teamed well for a great show!

  115. sarah says:

    i cant believe human target gets cancelled its great fast paced dry witted and hilarious i hate all the bul that on tv we all loved human target please bring it bak even another network pik it up please please please

  116. Demety says:

    Human Target must be picked up for another season ! I have suggested it to Everyone I talk to . why the **ll did it get given to Fox , they are practically famous for canceling amazing programs I really hope it is possible for the show to be moved to a different company because Fox sucks at keeping the GOOD programs , apparently their standards seem to be too high to be possible . Its ridiculus !
    they hardly gave it a chance (pun most deffinetly intended) . I admit adding the women might have been a mistake and it could have been the reason people stopped watching it but if they did stop watching it at the point were the women ( ilsa & ames ) came into the picture then they may not have been watching it when [ in the last few episodes ] ilsa began getting more ivolved n the dark workings of there team .

    Human Target has to be saved ! people have set up sites in order to save it inclueding me , mine is called savehumantarget.webs.com

  117. linda vaughters says:

    lv : my husband & I love this show Please keep it on.

  118. singsopera says:

    Nobody is listening,especially at Fox. We need entertainment on television once again. We have it in HUMAN TARGET. We need something for the 50 something crowd. We have it in HUMAN TARGET. In HUMAN TARGET we have action, action heros, edutainment, what Television was created for. This show is just plain fun and reasonable. If this network is stupid enough to let this show go can't someone syndicate it and keep it going, TNT, USA ??? Can FOX commit to anything?????

  119. Victoria says:

    Like all these folks, I too am a Human Target Fan. It was a great series. Loved all the characters and the stories. It seems like there is so much junk on television and this was one series that I very much enjoyed. Sure hope that we'll see a Season 3 and future seasons. I agree that it was a bad thing for the series to keep changing around the night it came on. If it had a good time slot and didn't get juggled around so much, no doubt the number of viewers would double. Everyone I've talked to loved it.

  120. Exkonan says:

    Can't believe they kept Fringe and canceled Human Target. HT and Lie to Me were the only 2 Fox shows we still watched CONSISTENTLY. Fringe had gotten so "out there" that it became boring. The concepts of HT and LTM were unique and really kept our interest and loyalty. House is now hit and miss in its storyline.

  121. Gary says:

    Human Target…….Action, Comedy, and Wit this show has it all. I LOVE IT…!

  122. EUGENE MEARS says:

    I CAN"T BELIEVE THE SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED,MY FAMILY LOVES THE SHOW AND WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE FALL SEASON SO WE COULD WATCH IT AGAIN.PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!

  123. Kristy says:

    I can' t believe they canceled the show, it needs to be moved to TNT or another cable network show. Seems like all that's all is on now is stupid reality tv shows.

  124. theresa says:

    My family and I watched human target loved it we want it back it was getting really good

  125. Gerald says:

    The reason I gave up TV. NO CABLE! NO SATALITE ! Thy Axe good shows to hook you up with lame ones! Now I watch only shows on the computer or wait a year an buy the full season to watch when I want .If they cant move me with a show, then I don't need them ! To meany good shows have fallin to the side .

  126. Tina says:

    My family has watched every show and really, really, really want this show to come back!! We love the show!! Please bring it back!!!!!

  127. beggin says:

    keep human target for a third season, it's one of the last good shows on television

  128. Frustrated says:

    I can't believe that the television industry's grim reapers would consider cancelling such a magnificent show as Human Target. As we find it harder and harder to find television shows worth watching, the question that keeps cropping up… why do they always cancel good programs and keep the crap. We're rooting for Human Target's renewal. Turf the worn out junk like the "reality" shows and the adult cartoon shows.

  129. Phillip says:

    Renew HUMAN TARGET this is a great series..

  130. Lisa says:

    I too would search around and find it when & where ever it was on. It is one of the better shows on regular TV. I really can't believe FOX would keep some of the supid comedies and get rid of Human Target. It is more entertaining and very well done. I agree it is worthy of TNT or USA if Fox doesn't have the brains to renew for a 3rd, 4th…

  131. roussell says:

    Renew HUMAN TARGET or E L S E…..

  132. john deene says:

    Bring HUMAN TARGET back…..finally another real show unlike friends,seinfeld,etc and they debate about season 3

  133. Peter Wearden says:

    As a brit the t.v. series Human Target is 1 of the highlights of the dreary t.v that is on at the moment especially here in the U.K.with soaps and celebrity shows that are constantly being pushed out by the commercial broadcasters, and as the BBC are cutting back on quality programme making every now and then along comes a programme that just makes it worth staying in and paying for the t.v. licence.
    Its such a shame that viewing figures are all that matters to the broadcasters these days and not the enjoyment that is welcomed by people from around the world, hopefully someone with an ounce of sense will read this and commision a new series.

  134. JONAH says:

    I MUST BE A JINX.
    SHOWS THAT I'VE ENJOYED HAVE BEEN CUT; VERONICA MARS; SMALLVILLE AND NOW THIS ONE.
    I'M LEFT TO BUY THE DVDs NOT THE SAME AS WATCHING "LIVE".
    JONAH.

  135. Nikki says:

    I would just like to say that I only heard about Human Target a few weeks ago and last night I stayed up and watched the entire season 1. I think this is a show that was primarily unheard of and of course it showed at the same time as the other shows on CBS. The second season is not on Netflix yet but I can't wait until it comes out. I wish that it would renew and maybe a cable network will pick it up.

  136. jeff says:

    human target was the best show on tv ,refreshing ,action ,suspence .I couldn wait to see the next episode
    As it goes anything good it doesnt last anly the boring and and nonsence shows last
    its not who you know is who you…

  137. mrblister68 says:

    Human target is one of the best series made for TV in a long time. It needs another season. Why can't Fox renew the series and get rid of some of the other rubbish they put on instead.

  138. marty says:

    I loved this show, I can't believe they took it off of TV, I have been trying to find a DVD for season 2 and can't find one. This show needs to make a come back………

  139. African King says:

    Best show ever but its kinda the same as person of interest I’m not complaining though chance and mizz pucci though haha…season 3 as soon as posseible mr director this serie has turned me into a junkie

  140. Chief says:

    I just saw they are not bringing back Human Target in 2012. Bummer !!! They get a good series like this and they cancel it.

  141. Hazjazmaz says:

    Please please please renew. UK viewer really disappointed when US & Canadian shows are cancelled when we're just getting into them!

  142. Frances says:

    I really like this show, the characters are all well acted, there’s comedy and drama, what more could you ask for. Well, subtitles on Channel 5 US! I have to say my favourite is Guerrero, closely followed by Chance. Anyway, let’s have series 3 from some network who can see the potential

  143. richard says:

    bring the damm show back, was one of the best shows on tv

  144. Danie van der Berg says:

    Please continue with "Human Target"!

  145. nathan holloman says:

    Bring human target back excellent show keep the

    women.

  146. Sean says:

    Hoping Human Target makes a comeback. Sitting here watching the episodes over again and it is by far better than some of the shows on TV currently. BRING IT BACK!!!!

  147. deb says:

    PLEASE! Bring back Human Target – there is so much more that could be done with this show, so many unanswered questions. What about Baptiste? Loved his character and love Lennie James. One of the VERY few tv shows I watched. I don't think it was given a real "chance" – moving from time slot to time slot. I MISS THIS SHOW!

  148. Putheary says:

    I love this show! It's the only show me and my partner enjoy watching together! I just started to feel for the characters and understand them, i love the team as it is right now. How can u cancel such a show…really..

  149. ChristoperChance96 says:

    To all who were involved with the show… Len Wein…. McG… somebody!! We, the fans, need a movie…. a la Firefly/Serenity. We need more! We need some closure!!! We are speaking, so please here us. Also, please release Season 2 on Blu-Ray/DVD!!! Get it done!
