Back in the 1980s, ABC and CBS had hit shows that revolved around the oil business — Dynasty and Dallas — and each ran for many seasons. Now, the alphabet network is hoping to strike it rich with a new show called Blood & Oil. Will this series be a hit or a flop? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On Blood & Oil, young couple Billy (Chace Crawford) and Cody LeFever (Rebecca Rittenhouse) move to Williston, North Dakota to seek their fortune. Billy’s drive attracts the attention of oil barron Hap Briggs (Don Johnson) and Hap takes him under his wing, much to the dismay of Hap’s son Wick (Scott Michael Foster). The rest of the cast includes Amber Valletta, Adan Canto, India de Beaufort, Miranda Rae Mayo, and Delroy Lindo.

What do you think? Do you still like the Blood & Oil TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
This is the best show on TV this season. I can hardly wait until the next episode. The reason the ratings aren’t as great as they should be is because it has to compete the the NFL. What series can compete against football? Whoever picked this time slot was setting the show up for a fall. You cannot cancel this show. Move it to another time slot & you’ll see the ratings soar. The actors are great, the plot of the show is great. It’s intense & intriguing & leaves you on the edge of your set at the end… Read more »
