What do you think? Do you like the Bitten TV show? Do you think it should be ending with season three?
If you are going to cancel this you should give us a season 4 with a prepared way to end like you did with others series like human being and lost girls don’t just leave us with no future like Elena getting married and having the first girl werewolf. Not just like this . Think of your watchers.
No dont do this come bring it back its lovely nooooooooooooooo bring it back cmonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Aww come on don’t cancel a great show like bitten. Its a great series u.. Cancel the boring reality shows instead, there’s to many of those and they are BORING.
Awe man come on.. don’t cancel…this is My favorite show… Friday night 10 pm I’m here . It’s one of the best shows out there.. re-think this we all love it .. bring it back
Sad that there wont be a 4th season. This show is addictive!!!!!!
Oh no don’t say it’s over – get new writers! They should have had more scenes of the changes into a wolf.
This is SO sad!!! I really LOVE the Bitten Series, it is a real pity to see it coming to an end! Thanks to the whole team for three great series
Noooooo. I’m in love with this show and the intense passion of Elena and Clay.
Bitten is a Great Show!! They should Not take it off the air. Please do not Cancel BITTEN!! They have too many reality shows on TV and people are tired of them. We like shows, Shows like Bitten!!
love show ! havent missed an episode ! seems every good show i like gets cancelled ! may as well quit watching any TV at all !!
since when has Friday been a bad day to have a show on? With all the different ways of recording and/or watching a show, there are no bad days. I love this show, always look forward to watching it. Wish it had more episodes. I work at night and use my DVR to record and watch when I can. I am not sure that SYFY (USA) even knows what that is. CSI, James Bond and horror movies are NOT SYFY. And who wants to watch ghost hunters 24/7 with a bunch of people running around in the dark scaring themselves.… Read more »
Laura I agree with you on every show and it is a big disaster. Also Patrice I love your comment.
I love this show. Those who stream it from the Canadian site have screwed it up for the rest of us. I hope they give the show a proper finale and don’t just leave everything hanged. Maybe the us syfy should pick it up.
Seems like SyFy has a habit of cancelling after three…
exactlly, i hv netflix and when i first came across this on there i was intrigued..it seems asthough everything im googling to c if sum of my favorite shows are still on the air or not, seems to take me back to syfy, and several cancellations..WTF is going on?..outta all the shows ive watched so far, BITTEN has been the best..great plots, fantastic characters, and great story lines..and from wut im reading, its 1 of CANADAS highest rated television series…so by that being said, why is it being cancelled..doesnt make sense to me..can sum1 pls make me understand the logic… Read more »
What!! Another one gone. You have got to be kidding. What the heck is SyFy thinking? This is a great show and I have look forward to it being on. My opinion of this station is getting less and less.
Another Canadian show gone! A quality one at that! Showcase just screwed up by losing Lost Girl & Rookie Blue. SYFY has a disaster on its hands with Dark Matter & that was re-newed. Maybe Netflix will smarten up & pick up Bitten. What a shame. Sure hope they renew Jessica Jones!!!
