CBS has been having a great season. Several of their new shows have been successful and many of their established series are still doing well. Unfortunately, that could be bad news for fans of a little show called Flashpoint.
Flashpoint follows the work of a group of highly trained police officers called the Strategic Response Unit (SRU). The series stars Enrico Colantoni, David Paetkau, Hugh Dillon, Sergio Di Zio, Michael Cram, Mark Taylor, Ruth Marshall, and Amy Jo Johnson.
The show was initially produced for Canada’s CTV and CBS picked up the rights to air season one during the writers strike. It ended up performing well for the network and that led CBS to join CTV in renewing it for seasons two and three.

Season three of Flashpoint was supposed to begin airing early this year but the network has so much successful programming that the show still hasn’t been put back on the schedule.
Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment, recently told critics at the TCA press tour that Flashpoint was now being pushed outside the regular season. That means that the cop series won’t be back until late-Spring or Summer 2010 at the earliest.
While the show has performed well during the summer months in the past, there’s no guarantee that will continue. The show will have been off the air for almost a year by the time it returns. The longer that the show is off the air, the more likely that viewers — and TV executives — will forget about it.
What do you think? Do you think that CBS will air all 22 episodes of Flashpoint? Do you think that being off the air for so long hurts the show’s chance for a fourth season?

This is one of the most significant Police stories on the air today. The actors, writers, and filem mediea needs to see it for what it is. This is a story about Policemen and Women who touch and are touched by their comminity and survive each day. Flash Point is a recipe to elicit the viewer to root for each team member. Kudos for holding it together for so long. Blessing.

Please bring Flashpoint back ASAP. It is the best show on TV.
Please bring Flashpoint back. It is one of the best shows that you have on cbs. The next best was The Unit. What a shame to delay or even cancel very good shows.
Unbelievable, CBS does this all the time, I start watching a show that I absolutely love then it gets cancelled with no good reason. They did the same thing with the Unit, its aggravating! Viewers want closure on a show that they have watched from day 1, ending it abruptly just makes me never want to watch another series from CBS again. Please bring it back, it was the highlight of my Friday Nights of TV Time with the hubby!
As usual CBS doesn’t know a great show when it has it, they havent put any pr into the show to bad for people at Flash Point if it was a Fox they would be playing the **** out of it and it would be a hit CBS is b.s. I never watch shows on CBS except SiXty Minutes
Even if CBS doesn’t air the 22 episodes of the second season, it doesn’t mean that Flashpoint will cease to run. After all, what many people tend to forget is the fact that Flashpoint is not an original series from CBS, but rather from CTV, a Canadian TV network. Moreover, as long as the show is a success in Canada, CTV will order a third season without being subservient to CBS.
Flashpoint really enjoys its popularity . Please bring it back….It’s worthy of programming.I’m sure more and more audience will love it, such a impressive one only needs enough time.It’s much more better than some others. It ‘ll be a huge mistake if the CBS cutting or putting off…
I can’t believe there was a thought of putting it off, let alone pushing it all the way until summer. The writing, directing, acting are all far above 98% of what is on our tv screens regularly. If CBS was truly concerned with quality programming and giving the public what they desire, they would lose Ghost Whisperer and Medium, as well as Survivor, Accidentally on Purpose and Rules of Engagement, and give us Flashpoint and more programming like it.
BRING IT BACK!!! There are so many shows on TV now that are not even worth watching. There has to be one day a week and one hour that they could run this awesome show. Everyone in my family loves this show and everyweek we check to see whats going on with it. Get it back on the air or sell it to another network that would play it!!!

Please bring Flash Point back, my husband and I have been patiently waiting for a long time. And you better believe when they bring it back in summer time we will be looking “oh so Forward” to seeing all 22 episodes of it. We LOVE Flash Point and will be so disappointed with CBS if they decide to cancel it.
I really would like to see CBS bring Flashpoint back…my whole family loves this show and keep asking when its coming back. Please bring it back…..
