The oil may be running dry. Deadline reports that ABC has just reduced Blood & Oil‘s initial episode order down from 13 to 10.
The news comes the same day NBC cut their new drama The Player down from 13 episodes to nine.
Starring Don Johnson and Chace Crawford, Blood & Oil follows a young couple who move to the booming North Dakota oil fields to hit it big. The primetime soap premiered on September 27 to around 6.3 million viewers. But in recent weeks, ratings have declined by almost half.
The series has not been officially cancelled yet and will continue in its current timeslot until the tenth episode airs later this fall.
What do you think? Do you watch Blood & Oil? Would you like to see more?
I’m actually enjoying this series. I find it to be a less glamorous version of Dallas. I find the character of Billy deeply annoying though. I find myself fast forwarding through many scenes that he’s in because while he’s cute, he reminds me of Archie Andrews from the comic books; a total clutz where everything he touches turns to saw dust. And I find that type of character very annoying to the point where I can’t root for them and I couldn’t care less what happens to them.
So has it been cut because my last recording of once upon a time, last Sunday, said Blood and Oul up next, nothing recorded this week or last.
I love this show please leave it on.
Dont cancel!! Love this show! Give it a chance! Time slot is not good, too much competition. Move to another night.
