There’s finally some good news for fans of CBS’s Flashpoint TV show.
Flashpoint follows the work of a group of highly trained police officers called the Strategic Response Unit (SRU). The series stars Enrico Colantoni, David Paetkau, Hugh Dillon, Sergio Di Zio, Michael Cram, Mark Taylor, Ruth Marshall, and Amy Jo Johnson.
After nine months away, the Canada-produced show is finally returning to US primetime. A repeat of a first season episode, “Scorpio,” is scheduled for Saturday, May 29th. Then, new episodes will begin airing on Friday, June 4th. This will be the cop series’ third season on CBS.
Though Flashpoint has been off the schedule for a long time, it seemed a certainty that the program would eventually return. CBS purchased 13 additional episodes of Flashpoint in October 2009. Combined with the nine installments that the network already had on the shelf, CBS is believed to have 22 episodes ready to go.
Airing on both CBS and Canada’s CTV, there’s been no word of plans to order a fourth season as yet.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear that Flashpoint is finally returning?

KEEP FLASHPOINT….. AND BRING BACK THE UNIT
I agree with all the comments sharing disappointment about Mark Taylor’s character’s demise, but also agree that one of the best parts about the show is it’s more realistic procedural perspective. Remember when Demore Barnes surprise-died on the Unit? It absolutely sucked, but made for great story. Shows that are so entrenched in the drama of real life have to “keep it real” and lose valuable characters that viewers are invested in. Bobby Cannavale’s run on Third Watch comes to mind, as well as Michael DeLorenzo on New York Undercover (although arguably that brought down the show b/c he was… Read more »
Yes it is sad when any actor loses his job. But remember this show is about real events and not everyone walks away. Mark did a wonder job.He will be truely missed. But Flashpoint has to keep it real or it will lose it fans. Remember police put there lives on the line every day. I know 1st hand they sometimes wonder if they will make it back home to my family this time.
I think this is the best show on TV. Please don’t take it off the air. The acting by Mary Taylor when he was saying good-bye to his parents and then by Sergio Di Sio was extraordinary. It made me cry. So believable. I am very sad to see Mark Taylor go. Great actor. Please keep the show on CBS.
stepahnie what do you mean by mary taylor?
I have been a fan of Flashpoint but am extremely disappointed that the first show I watch this season, they kill off Mark Taylor…WHY? I have been searching the net to try to figure out did he get another job or what. The only thing I see is that he was called in one day, not knowing why they wanted to see him and he was informed that his character will be leaving…He was being fired…I am truly unhappy about that and really want to know why…You keep on doing your thing Mark Taylor! You are a great actor and… Read more »
I am so glad to see that Flashpoint is back! Every time I watch an episode, I come away saying “this is the best damned show on television, and no one seems to know about it…what gives?” Thank you, CBS.
I love, love, love Flashpoint. It is one of the best shows on TV. Please, please, please keep going.
Is there any way that we can show CBS how much Flashpoint means to us. It is the BEST show on TV anywhere in the world. It has such great actors and story lines. Please CBS listen to your watchers. Keep Flashpoint on and make it be on your Fall line up.
I love Flashpoint….it’s the best show of ever. I love all the actor’s they’re the best. Please don’t take this show off the air…..it would be an injustice. I’ve seen some preveiws of shows and truthfully they don’t hold a candle to Flash point.
Why did they had to kill the cute black guy off the show? Just why?
I Love the show and was very excited about it coming back. But why did they have to kill Mark Taylor (XIII) off. I thought he was great. I really would like Enrico Colantoni to tell me the reason he had to be kill Mark off the show.
I’m pretty pissed that the first thing they did this season is blow up my favourite guy.
Yes – this show is, or should be, a keeper!! Thanks CBS for bringing it back AT LAST. Just wondering what took you so long.
Yes, we absolutely love this show and had wondered what on earth happened to it. Please keep it coming!
Yes!! I love this show. I hope it’s on for a ling time!!!
