It's a shame, because the show was so much stronger this season. After a moderately successful first season, Seeker must have slipped too much in the second season to survive. Legend of the Seeker was an attempt to revive it, and it had the producer pedigree to succeed. The continuing rise of cable, as well as the birth of UPN and WB taking up valuable prime-time real estate from syndicated shows, all but killed the format. But there were also more independent networks. In the 1990s, when Hercules and Xena were battling the forces of evil, there were tons of syndicated action/adventure dramas littering the television landscape. Or maybe the proliferation of original programming across cable just makes the syndicated format not work anymore. But Seeker took itself a little more seriously, and maybe that was the problem for audiences. It's a shame that modern audiences weren't able to accept this syndicated show, as it attempted to revive the genre once dominated by the likes of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, also by producer Sam Raimi. With its second season, Legend of the Seeker found a good rhythm and balance between lighter episodic fare and the ongoing struggle between Richard and The Seeker not to mention his dead mortal enemy from the first season, Darken Rahl.
