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 a very good show !! Do not take it off the air. Give it a chance. Promote the show. Just like other shows. It has good story lines and great actors. Leave this show alone !!!
I record it weekly and watch it religiously. I love this show and can’t believe the ratings are so low. I hope they find a way to keep it.
Love this show. One of my favorites. Can not believe they are thinking of taking it off the air. BIG MISTAKE!!
I love Blood and Oil!
Should come back on! Best show on tv by far! All i ever watched really
I love this show. very upset.
i dont understand how the ratings can be so low.. unless people arnt actually watching it and recording it on dvr and watching later.. which is sad because it does happen alot.. me being a nurse and having such a crazy schedule i admit to recording like 30 shows a week.. thank goodness for weekends to catch up.. but this show is so awesome i pray they dont cancel it.. i know hundreds of people watch it.. TEXANS LOVE IT..
Please do not cancel this series. It’s one of the best in a long long time!!!!
This the best show on tv what the heck r u folks thinking please rethink this
Please don’t cancel ! We love this new show! Its getting better each time and the actors are great . It needed a little more depth which is happening… Give it more time,,,,
This a great show and shouldn’t be cancelled. I wouldn’t have known that it was on the air except that I accidentally came across it and I’m glad I did. Try advertising the product! There’s probably a lot of people out there who weren’t even aware that it was on because of lack of advertising. This sort of thing happens so often.
I think this is the best show on television right now. Very sad to see that it has been cancelled. I hope this decision is not final and that the network put this in a better time slot. This show has not been promoted well. Great writing and casting. Keep Blood and Oil!!!!!
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL!! This is the best show on!! Love it!!!
This is the one show my husband I watch together. Please keep it on the air. We love it.
I think that Blood and oil is a great show but sadly because of the tv stations starting and canceling all these shows it has really discouraged watchers from getting into something until its second season. I personally started watching blood and oil on hulu around episode 8 and I live this show I really think it has a lot of potential to be a great ongoing show. But sadly i have little faith in any of these stations to have any faith in their writers or casts in bringing in an audience. The world has gone thru a lot… Read more »
