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 love the show. It is one of my favorites. I sure hope they continue the series; I plan everything around it on Friday nite. Please tell CBS to continue the series.
I don’t do names because of privacy issues, but Flashpoint is one of the very best shows on the commercial TV. I began watching it last year and it is truly captivating. So glad to know that its beginning again next Friday.
I love the show and hope it’s not cancelled! The characters are wonderful!
I watch Flashpoint every Friday night. It would be a mistake for CBS to cancel Flashpoint. It seems that CBS has a hard time learning what is good entertainment and what is garbage. Leave Flashpoint in the lineup.
Fantastic cast – Fantastic show ! Please don’t cancel!
Flashpoint is one of the best shows on television and if they don’t continue it, they are NUTS! This show is well-written, has good actors and is realistic as well as exciting. I would definitely like to see it come back one!
I have been WAITING for the return of Flashpoint! CBS keep it please! We live in Pennsylvania and our CBS comes from Buffalo, NY. PLEASE, CBS, run the other 13 episodes Canada has, then re-new it!!!!!!!
Keep Flashpoint please!! Such a great show!
I can’t believe what I am reading here. I kept watching for flashpoint to return. dediced to look it up on the internet and see it may not be returning. Just hard to believe. We finally get a good decent show on TV that is trying to prevent violence from happening and you want to shut it down. It was one of best shows CBS has had . If us viewers have any say in the matter, please do not cancel this show. The characters had depth and emotion for there work. It is a great show. Is there any… Read more »
I absolutely LOVE Flash Point. I arrange my Friday nights around that show! It would be awufl not to have it on CBS.
I am seriously on the verge of giving of TV simply because you cannot count a good show to make the grade. Flashpoint is one of the best shows on TV even though they waste it by running it in the summer. I hope networks show up and give shows more time to make the grade! I know that I am not alone with regards to the people who do watch TV of losing shows no sooner than they start. Another example of a great show was Terriers. It was on FX but for whatever reason after 1 season it… Read more »
I really enjoy watching Flashpoint and really hope it is not cancelled. I watch this show every Friday when it is on and it doesn’t seem you really try to advertise it that often. Please don’t cancel this show.
Sometimes, I think TV execs are simply out of touch with their audiences despite the alleged electronic devices that measure a show’s viewership. Flashpoint is one of the shows I record just in case something comes up and I’m not home on Fridays; it’s that good! It has just the right mix of action and character driven scripts to keep you interested in the cases they have to deal with and their personal lives as we get to know the characters. Sometimes, a show needs a little ‘faith’ on the part of the those running the network, sometimes they need… Read more »
We love Flashpoint if we can’t be home on a Friday night we make sure we have it taped even the night of the Super Bowl (thank heavens). We are from Hamilton Ont. I have friends and family all over the city and even in Toronto that just love this show and all the characters, and my friends and family in Winnipeg and Vancouver feel the same way. It’s a Canadian show that even the Americans have to admit is GREAT!!!! It’s so much fun to see the tower and the dome and them drinking a Tim’s that is so… Read more »
I’m glad Canada and the U.S. share dvd regions, because I would definitely buy this show on dvd if CBS stops airing it—I already own the first two seasons. CBS is nuts if they don’t pick it up for the summer again.
