A couple weeks ago, we reported that President of CBS Entertainment Nina Tassler said that the network had six leftover episodes of Flashpoint and that they “most likely” would air over the Summer. She noted that the TV show has been a good utility player for CBS but didn’t indicate if it had much of a future there.
CBS licenses Flashpoint from Canada and ran most of the season three episodes last summer. CTV has already ordered season four and those 18 episodes are currently being produced.
It’s now being reported that CBS has licensed seven of those new installments of Flashpoint, will combine them with the leftover six, and run the 13 episodes this summer.
ION has purchased a syndication package of the 62 episodes of Flashpoint, including the 11 episodes that CBS didn’t purchase. The cable channel is expected to begin running the series sometime after the CBS run.
This is certainly good news for faithful viewers but it seems like this may signal the end of Flashpoint on CBS. Fortunately, it looks like the show’s future isn’t dependent on CBS’ participation since CTV ordered season four without the US network.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear there’s more Flashpoint coming?

I cant wait for the show to return. I love all the characters and there is unfinished stories. Hurry up and bring it back.
both my wife and i love this show. we thimk it is one of the better ones out there. would freally miss it! just like 24 is missed.
I love Flashpoint! It has been one of my favorite shows on tv. I want to see it continue.
I don’t care if I have to watch it on Ion, as long as I have a place to watch it. CBS has some of the best shows in it’s weekly line-up but it also picks up some pretty crappy ones. While I realize others live for reality shows like Amazing Race, Survivor, Undercover Boss and many more, they are really far overdone and CBS is losing out by not participating in the future of Flashpoint. I am glad I’ll get to see more of it this summer and also glad to know that at least I can go to… Read more »
I LOVE this show! CBS will be losing me for the hour that Flashpoint is on ION. This is about the best show on TV!
Please CBS bring Flashpoint back. I agree with all of the other comments that it is the best show on TV. I will be able to watch it on ION as well, but wouldn’t it be nice if CBS would continue the series, even in the summer. Why is it that when a really, really good show comes along it is taken off the air, too much money for CBS to pay even to show in the summer from Canada?
This is one of the best police shows I’ve ever watched, LEAVE IT ON. Why do they take off all the good shows and leave all the crap no one wants to see.
I love this show… it’s smart and fresh and always good. I would like CBS to purchase all the episodes and run the entire program.
I agree this is one of the best shows on TV and worth the wait every summer. The perspective is like no other cop show. CBS wise up and keep it on the air!
Please keep Flashpoint. I was kind of fed up with the police genre, but this one offers a different perspective that seems more actual to me. Especially with tonight’s show that got me saying to be continued – deh!) this summer! What! Oh no. I’m so looking forward to watching what is to follow up. Thank you CTV for sticking with it! NBC: you don’t know what you’ll be missing! Love the acting and the plots. Cheers!
I discovered this show last summer and I am really excited about it returning. I wish I didn’t have to wait until the Summer. This show is one of the best I’ve seen on TV. The cast is a wonderful ensemble and the writing and directing is #1.
I don’t know how I feel about Flashpoint moving to ION. All I know is, I don’t have that channel, so if CBS cancels it for good, I’m SOL when it comes to new episodes. This show is amazing, and CBS (US) should see that. If not, I guess I’ll have to find another station to watch.
My husband and I live for Flashpoint on friday nights. This has to be the best show ever and now they want to cancel it. Please do not take this show off the air.
i really and have other people that like it and don’t want it taken off we really enjoy it and want to keep seeing it. you get a good show and then they take it off. please keep this on.

This is one of the best shows on television. I hope that all the episodes come out at some point to DVD for those who don’t have Ion on their TV.
