Status: This show barely got renewed for a fourth season, and that involved moving to the USA Network and taking a budget cut of $500K per episode. It is also airing outside or Prime Time in the less-than-ideal Friday 11 PM EST timeslot, making it seem like an afterthought for the network. Fans should definitely make some noise on the social networks to bring this one more attention, otherwise this could be its final season.
