No one dropped the ball on it. Sci-fi and the like were generally unpopular and anything called "Millennium" in 1999 would be seen as incredibly contrived.

There’s zero hostility in my comment and Im not sure where you would get it from.

You suggested people dropped the ball on it when factually there was never much interest t begin with. If you were an adult at the time, and Im only saying this because I dont know you, you wouldn’t be surprised that people were reticent to watch anything called “Millennium” in 1999.

Factually the series high was 17 million people which would be incredible now but was poor for a weekend primetime show not in the premiere episode. The second season premiere is 7-8 million which is not good for the time period in that slot. When I say it wasn't well received Im talking in viewers as that is the only metric that matters to keeping a show on air at that time.

There wasn't much interest considering it was on Fox and it wasn't The Simpsons.
