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.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

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?
Keep it. So sick of reality TV….This is a much needed change! Give it time to catch on, let people get to know the characters!
Please leave this show on. Please, please.
Seriously, keep this show! At least give it a fair chance – the cast is phenomenal, the characters so much more than one dimensional and the writers are getting their direction. There is little on worth watching if you aren’t into reality TV or Song /Dance, or sports, leave something good in place for the rest of us.
KEEP THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS AN AWESOME SHOW!!!! JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this show! It gets better every week. Give it a chance..let’s have season 2!!
KEEP THIS SHOW!!!!! Not in the age demographic, but I do spend money which is what advertisers look for. So yes I see the ads but won’t if I stop watching.
Is ABC kidding, have they not seen how over the top Scandal and How to get away with Murder are. Blood and Oil is no different and it is very entertaining. Maybe because there are no homosexuals on the show like every other TV show these days it got bad reviews.
This show is awesome! lots of twists and turns to keep you wanting more. Can never wait for the next one to come on to see what happens and its hard to find a show like this that keeps both me and my wife entertained. Please give it another chance.
Wow! my husband and I would be so dissapointed to see this show go. We just look forward to it every Sunday, a show we love to watch together. Always loved Don Johnson and all the other actors are just great too. Awesome.story, lots of twists and turns lies and deceit. Perfect to keep you watching. I just think if you cancel this show that you didn’t even give it a good enough chance. please keep it going!!
This show is so VERY GOOD! Please do not cancel! Everyone I know can’t wait to see the next episode. Please give the show more of a chance!
KEEP KEEP KEEP
Leave this show alone! You’re not giving it a chance!
I started watching this from the beginning and it’s a great show. I was highly disappointed last night to find out that instead of a winter break like most shows are having right now there will be a finale. What No!! It’s getting so good!!! Too many good shows are getting cancelled too soon without even been given a chance.
I think you should renew it…the first few episodes were a bit redundant in theme… but now it is started to evolve and branch out…it needs more episodes to fully develop an interesing set of story lines /branch out … We need a new exciting Dallas/Dynasty back on tv
Please keep this show!!!! Was a big fan of the old and new Dallas, then it was cancelled. This fills the void, like stated above^^. My husband and like relaxing on Sunday nights and watching this. Not all of the 18-49 demographics like the garbage of the Kardashians or whatever is on MTV. Please keep Blood and Oil!!!!
