'Camelot' is no more at Starz

Starz has canceled its original series "Camelot" after a single season -- but not for the usual, ratings-based reasons, or at least not entirely.The series actually did OK by the cable channel's standards, premiering to 1.1 million viewers in April and closing with just over a million viewers for its finale earlier this month. The audience ebbed some for the episodes in between and was a good ways below that of Starz's flagship series "Spartacus." Still, for a premium service with fewer than 18 million subscribers, those numbers aren't bad.
Instead, Starz declined to order a second season based on "significant production challenges," Deadline reports. The site says that scheduling issues with several actors played into the decision.
Starz has a couple new original series on tap for the coming months: "Torchwood: Miracle Day" debuts on July 8, and the political drama "Boss," starring Kelsey Grammer, is scheduled to premiere in October. A new season of "Spartacus" (subtitled "Vengeance") is set for January.

I have the first season on dvr, but haven't watched any yet. Now I am trying to decide whether to bother, or just delete it. Does it end with a cliffhanger?
well crap. glad i wasnt entirely caught up in this show
Awww, that's too bad. This show was actually a guilty pleasure for me. The end of the season was becoming quite interesting, and I was curious to see what would come next.
the show kind of sucked until episode 7---then things got good.
Aww man, I was just watching the last of my Camelot episodes on m y DVR last night and they had gotten really good. Sigh.
The first episode was great. Then it didnt start to get good until about the 7th episode again. It wasnt terrible by any means but it just didnt keep my interest a whole lot in the middle of the season.
Where I am, we only got 2 episodes before cancellation. It was a hell of a lot better than some of the rest of the crap on TV nowadays. (Wouldn't even be so bad if they replaced with something worth watching)!
