What do you think? Are you glad that The Flash TV show has been renewed for a fifth season? How would you feel if The CW had cancelled this TV series, instead?
Please do not cancel The Flash! All the good shows are being canceled and there’s nothing but crap to watch anymore. So please please do not cancel The flash. If it keeps going like this I will just end up canceling myTV Subscription . Turning off for good and just start buying movies to watch instead on my TV. I’m not the only one that feels this way. You big CEOs should stop and think about what your doing. Your destroying the TV Viewing for lots of people. I am another one that hates reality TV !!!!
My whole family loves the flash all season them and we’re hoping and praying that we get to see more season we love our season hopefully they’ll be no cancellation please don’t cancel the flash
Keep the Flash on. It is a great show!!! Also good for younger viewers!!
Yes…please renew the Flash!!!!
PLEASE renew for season 5 i really do love this show so very much. I would truly be sad and disappointed if it were to be cancelled. Besides can’t leave something unfinished or leave it at a cliffhanger.
PLEASE let there be a season 5 they cannot leave it at a cliffhanger and i love this show so very much. And i would be quite sad and disappointed if it ended. Please renew!!!
i hope the the flash get renewed for another season i hope the flash will keep on going all fore means years to come i would like if there where to be 11 12 13 14 more season of the flash and it would be nice if some got to play the role of green lantern and if they did something like that then it could led to a spin off i keep hoping they will do something like that..
The Flash doesn’t disappoint its DC audience and it continues to satisfy the viewer and leave them at the edge of their respective seats week in and week out.
Renew The Flash for a fifth season, please.
I never watch TV…..NEVER. My grandchildren got me to watching Flash and I LOVE it! PLEASE BRING FLASH BACK FOR SEASON 5!
Keep the Flash. I love that show…
End it it’s the most pathetic show ever to be created. It’s the worst in the arrowverse and their ratings would be a lot more if the flash leaves. Everyone I know wants to see the flash die. Seriously Grant Gustin and everyone else in that show is wasting their time.
I would be so sad if canceled. Its my Favorite Show. Let it continue…
