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?
Please dont take away another great drama! ABC’s Sunday night line-up has officially become my wife and my date night. Don’t spoil this for us! If you want to increase ratings, I would suggest changing the name of the show so that it sounds more appealing and attracts more viewers, but give it another season, another chance! If ABC does make a huge mistake and cancels the series, I hope another network has the guts, and intelligence to pick it up!
Renew the show! I look forward to it every week. I think it should be moved from Sunday to a night during the week. Don’t cancel it!!!!
please renew, love the show, look forward to it each week!
please renew, love the show, look forward to it each week!
This is my favorite show. I love watching blood and oil on Sunday’s. I love this show. Please don’t cut it.
Please,please,please don’t cancel this show. It’s so entertaining and the story was really starting to build. It’s the only thing I wTch on ABC on Sunday night. I love Don Johnson playing a J.R.Ewing type character.

Keep the show
My husband and I love this show!! Please don’t cancel it!
This is/was the only show I looked forward to every week… With so many of the same kinds/series this one kept me watching and not changing channel at commercials…… Blood & Oil reminds me of watching Dallas. Let give it a chance… One more year
This show had a slow start but once the story developed it was a hit with me.
I think the show should be renewed! I really enjoy it. It’s sort of a bad time slot I think.
Renew this show! Please!
ABC cancelled this show, but put on a show about baking Christmas treats what a great chioce A number of friends enjoyed the show, maybe another network will pick it up, Great job ABC.
Please keep this show going… I know they already ended it in a way that you wouldn’t think it was ever coming back but there is always a way if they can just get to writing the new twist to this amazing program I can’t believe they would even think about canceling such a well thought out program I loved all the characters and especially seeing Don Johnson come back on the screen was amazing… I don’t know if this post will help or not but there has been way too many shows on TV that don’t even come close… Read more »
