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?

No!!! Don’t cancel Flashpoint!!! I love that show. Hardly watch TV wxcept for three favorites–The Glades, Lie to Me and CSI:SVU.
Yes, definately keep it!! My wife and I make a point of watching Flashpoint every week and missed it when it was off. We even have it set to DVR just in case we are out and have to miss it.
EXCELLENT SERIES….I love it! Don’t cancel. What is with Canadian produced series — they are GOOD. I loved The Bridge. Now you are thinking of cancelling Flashpoint. Give programs a chance. Yes, I would buy on DVD, but this is not an excuse or reason to cancel the show. 🙁
Love the show, definately keep it. And I have bought it on I-tunes and DVD
My husband and I love FlashPoint!!! we are so worry that it might be cancelled as all nice and great shows usually are. Just look at “Cold Case”!!!
We LOVE Flashpoint! Keep it on!
One of the reasons why the show has not been doing as well as they’d hope is because the season already aired in Canada in the fall of 2009. Americans who follow the show probably watched it online or downloaded the episodes instead of waiting almost 6 months for CBS to air them. I do hope that CBS continues to order the show for as long as the show lasts. It does not cost much when compared to other shows. It’s also a success in Canada. If CBS wants to continue to look at Canadian programming as an option, canceling… Read more »

please please don’t do it another cbs exec destroys friday’s, they already took off numbers, one of the original unique fbi cop shows, now taking flashpoint ,the updated cool swat of the post 9/11 world, that is a damn shame where is that really great medical show on fridays that took off numbers…..oh yeah it is already canceled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes – keep Flash Point on. It’s a really great show and we also don’t miss watching it.
This is one of our favorite shows! All the characters are great! Please continue this one. We look forward to it every week!
I love Flashpoint. Don’t dare take it away from me or I will jump! Then you will be sorry!
Yes, keep it! The format is interesting, and keeps you on edge. The action is believable, and the characters real. It’s clean and hasn’t fallen to the less desirable low-life quality of many of shows out there.
Flashpoint is an orginal look at police dramas it follows the “swat” formula of the 70’s in a style thats right for tv now it would be a shame to let this one go.
My wife and I watch Flash Point religously and enjoy the show very much. Since it doesn’t cost CBS very much to air, it would be a travisity not to continue ordering new episodes. Very often it takes shows a number of years, and time slot changes, to develope a strong following.
