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?
There’s absolutely no reason why this show should be cancelled, it’s been holding steady. Really, ABC. really? Gimme a break, this is not a show to be cancelled. For the first time ever, I actually see DJ as a talented actor!!
The show has really picked up since the beginning!!! I love it and would hate to see it go!! Move it to another night!!
Please keep Blood and Oil. Great storyline. Great character development.
Hi: Please KEEP this show in the air. It’s rare that such a great show comes long in this day and age with such excellent writing and cast! Move this to any other night!!! We, along with all the other fans of this show are looking forward to many more great seasons!
Blood & Oil is a really entertaining and enjoyable show. It is getting better and better. Please don’t cancel. It needs to be promoted better. So much better than many ABC shows currently on. Give it a chance. Don Johnson is fabulous and it has a great story line. We really look forward to it. Can’t say that about many shows currently on TV.
Please don’t cancel!
Oh Nooooooo, best show on TV since Dallas and Dynasty! Please give it another chance, change the night, time, something!!!!!

KEEP THE SHOW!!!! never see it advertised like the other junk on tv. So many people I talk to have never heard of the show! Bad job abc. and the show is up against walking dead,or NFL games. The audience that watches these shows will not stop to watch something that is on the chopping block!!! ADVERTISE !!!

I think the show is holding it’s own for now. Excellent cast and storylines give it a chance I know a few other shows that struggled over the years. Don Johnson can draw viewers let the show ride for another season.
PLEASE DONT CANCEL THIS SHOW. IT IS JUST ON A BAD NIGHT. DONT COMPETE WITH NFL.
Blood & Oil is a very good show. Leave it on!! It’s a refresh from all the other shows like police shows way to many of thoses!!

I understand that ratings but I hate when there’s a show on that I like to watch and it ups and cancels. Some people just dont give a show enough time to get into it. I hope you dont cancel this show. I look forward to watching it every week. Matter of fact I DVR it so if I’m not home I can catch up watching back to back shows. Love it! I agree with some others that maybe it can be moved to another time slot and day. Some of us really like this show. For real I think… Read more »
