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?

Finally a program with brains, brilliance and always good writing for a very intelligent tv series…something that is rare. It is NOT the repititious copy-cating of other ‘cop’ dramas. This ‘feels’ more real – the actors, their intensity, the realism. If we lose this program, then I guess there really are not that many people that are over 30 out there!?!
Is CBS crazy? I love this show…watch it all the time and need it back.
I am very dissapointed that FLASHPOINT is no longer being aired on CTV. I thought it was an amazing canadian drama, with a very high quality story line and acting. I would like to see it return to television. It was a pleasure to watch a show that could captivate an audience with drama and not gore and vulgarity.
Please bring Flashpoint back. I really, really miss this show and have been looking and looking for it and can’t believe it is not still on. I really need this show back on it because it really brings things home in what really happens. Thanks.
This is a wonderfully produced tv show. It molds the emotion of daily activity into the personal lives of the characters on the show. I love this interaction and am amazed it is not a front line show garnering awards. There have been a number of shows like this that incorporate intelligence into entertainment that have been cancelled. CBS, don’t treat us like idiots and do this again.
We need the show back. I was a tactical swat dispatcher and a police/fire/ems dispatcher for 23 1/2. The last episode REALLY hit home!!
This was by far the best show I have seen in a long time!

Flashpoint is one of my favorite shows on tv. If it is cancelled I will really miss it. I urge other fans to support the show and try to keep it on the air. The cast is outstanding and the plots are intelligent and well thought out. I think it would be a big mistake to cancel.
I LOVE THE SHOW. IT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITES. PLEASE DON’T CANCEL IT.
I miss Flashpoint! Why would I buy it on DVD? I would much rather see new shows. It’s different than the other cop shows that are on. Bring it back!
Great show, real-life situations. Please bring it back. If we can’t watch it live, we always tape it for later. In fact, we tape them all anyway. Please………….
bring flashpoint back………..
This is one of the few remaining bastions of ‘smart’ television. My wife and I never miss it, even if we have to DVR and watch it later (which is more often than not). If CBS does cancel in favor of “Numbers” reruns or something else really hackneyed or cliched, it will likely just prove that the Dan Rather syndrome is alive and well at the ol’ single-eyed monster.
This is such a great show. Please keep it on!!! There are so few good shows on anymore..
PLEASE bring back Flashpoint soon! It was the best Canadian show that I think has ever been on! If there are so many fans, what are you waiting for? It’s very exciting and great acting too.
Love the show. My husband and I never miss it. Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flashpoint is an intelligent television drama. Please bring it back. We deserve an alternative to what typically airs. Without shows like Flashpoint, viewers will check out of network television and on to cable or netflicks.
