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?

I loved this show! Yes I am a NCIS fan but I rate Flashpoint right up there with it. If Flashpoint had some happier/funny times in it would be Evan better. Hope it comes back. Yes I would buy the DVD
Flashpoint has been one of the few shows I actually watched regularly. Plenty of action, excellent story line, great actors. I hope it is not gone forever.
We were surprised that Flashpoint was not on last night – checked the schedule and I see it just disappeared. And now I read that it may not be back. It’s our FAVORITE! My husband is definitely NOT a happy camper! I hope CBS realizes they are making a mistake by dropping it.
PLEASE KEEP WRITING, PLEASE!!! IT’S MY FAVORITE PROGRAM!!!
Flashpoint is the best show CBS has aired. Every person with whom I discuss TV broadcast agrees with me. Do yourself a favor and give it a more prominent booking.
Please, please, please bring Flashpoint back. It is one of the best cop shows on television and deserves a space on television.
We SO enjoy this show…please do not cancel it…it is the last intelligent show on TV!
Please continue this show. We have SO enjoyed EVERY episode…finally an intelligent series on TV!
I definately think that CBS should continue Flashpoint. My husband and I love this show. It has great story lines and a fantastic way of telling them. The cast is a really good and believable cast. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don’t take the ONE GOOD SHOW that CBS has off the air!!! This is about the only show that is worth watching on CBS.
This is such an interesting, action-packed and entertaining show! It’s truly unique. It’s not just a “cop show” like the rest of the police procedurals out there. I really hope CBS keeps Flashpoint alive. If it’s low in the ratings war it’s not because of the acting or the storylines! I’ll watch it on any night and any timeslot!!
WOW! I can’t believe that Flashpoint might not be on anymore! This is a great show. I rarely watch TV but never miss an episode of Flashpoint. Taking it off the air would be a mistake. CBS should consider putting it on all year and not just the summer.
ABSOLUTELY! I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!
We love this show and would hate for it to go off the air.
I think that this is a big mistake. It is a big hit, everybody likes the show. It teaches a lot about situations and that people can over come a lot!
Was wondering about Flashpoint & see from reading this it might be cancelled !!
Hope NOT !!!! Looked forward to watching it every Friday night. It was 1 show that shows us real life situations. Please bring it back !
My husband and I enjoyed all the episodes. We found the show to be engrossing and th acting was excellent; however,we would not buy the DVD. I hope it continues, but hopefully not at the expense of Blue Bloods.
I can’t believe that Flashpoint might be cancelled! It is one of the best shows—-Ever! I never miss an episode. Why not have it on all year not just for the summer?
