Though the Flashpoint series isn’t very expensive for CBS to air, the network certainly seems to have lost some enthusiasm for the Canadian-produced drama. It’s been a staple of CBS’ Friday night schedule for three summers but it remains to be seen how long they’ll continue to air the modest performer.
Season three of Flashpoint began airing on June 4th and the 13 episodes are set to finish running on August 20th. Supposedly, the network will still have another nine installments on the shelf.
At this week’s press tour, CBS president Nina Tassler noted that, while the network will continue to look at Canadian programming as an option, she “hasn’t decided yet” on ordering more Flashpoint. The show continues to be popular in Canada.
What do you think? Would you like to see CBS continue to airing Flashpoint. If they cancel it, would you buy it on DVD?

This show has an edge-of-your-seat vibe like I always got from “24”, without all the blood and gore that has become a staple of so many action and drama shows. I also love the fact that the 2 main leads are real men: flawed yet sexy (even if they are bald), emotional but strong. Maybe if CBS would do a little more promotion like they do for CSI and other shows, they would get more viewers. I missed the whole first season because I never knew about it. Please, please, please keep it going.
Why in the world do you guys cancel the shows that are family favorites. We all
like this t-v show, and don’t want to seee it cancelled.
Love the show.. Looked forward to it every Friday night. Please don’t cancel
PLEASE PLEASE don’t cancel this EXCELLENT show!!!! It is the only one that keeps me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! It is a classy show with wonderful actors and great stories. It is one of a few shows that I will actually tell my friends when it is on and I am watching, don’t call, don’t bother me, I am watching Flashpoint!! The only other show that did that for me was “ER”…..need I say more?!?!
Please, please don’t cancel FLASHPOINT its an awesome TV series, its the best show on TV right now. I set on the edge of my seat and have to remind myself to breath once and a while during the entire show. I love NCIS and Criminal Minds and other similar shows but they don’t hold a candle to the Flashpoint series. You folks are doing something right at CBS, you’ve have the best line up of shows for the past 7-8 years, so what ever your doing, don’t stop. I’m sure you want to hold onto#1 position as you have… Read more »
I am a big fan of teamwork shows. Flashpoint is exciting and something different than the CSI and Law and order shows. I would hate to see it canceled.
Please, please, keep this show on. I look forward to watching this program every summer. It has become a staple. Besides, I’ve visited Cananda alot over the years and get a kick out of guessing where their filming….It’s one of the best!!!!
One of the few shows that you can watch each week and find something new. Not the same old cop show.
And yes, I would buy DVD whether or not they show on CBS
I will watch Flashpoint for as long as it airs. I tell others to watch and they come back to me with rave reviews. I buy the DVDs as they come out. I would be very disappointed to see the series end.
Bring Flashpoint back for another year!
this show is great, don’t know why everytime they get a great show going then they end of taking it off the air, why get into a show in the first place….hope it keeps going…went to watch flashpoint on friday and instead csi was in it’s place, what’s going on with that? KEEP THE SHOW GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just discovered “Flashpoint” the summer of 2010 and look forward to it weekly. I like
Canadian TV writing – as it is usually understated and less bloody. “Flashpoint” grew on me and I miss it already (Sept. 24). Am sick of most cop shows but the calm, deliberate feel of this show caught my interest. I hope they bring it back – before smmer!

Don’t cancel this well madeTV drama, Flashpoint
It’s a terrific show, I would hate to see it cancelled!
Flashpoint is exciting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. This show shouldn’t be cancelled and should continue to run so that we finally have something to watch on Friday. It would make CBS much more interesting and a more popular network! Consider it, the reality shows, and other garbage that is aired now is mostly ignored except for yuppies who can’t think further than these shows. We all like the drama and excitement the show brings. Yeah Flashpoint!!
