It’s case closed for Franklin & Bash. The TNT buddy-legal series has been cancelled bt the cable channel after four seasons and 40 episodes.
Franklin & Bash revolves around two unconventional lawyers and best friends who end up being hired at a prestigious law firm. This season, they end up running the place. The most recent cast includes Breckin Meyer, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Dana Davis, Kumail Nanjiani, Malcolm McDowell, Reed Diamond, and Toni Trucks.
For whatever reason, the series was way down in season four, averaging 1.16 million viewers and a 0.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That was down more than 45% when compared to season three’s ratings (which were also way down).
In addition, Turner Broadcasting President David Levy has said that the cable channel is now focusing on airing more “edgy” shows — like Legends and Public Morals.
The fourth season finale aired on October 22nd and will end up being the show’s series finale as well.
What do you think? Did you like Franklin & Bash on TNT? Why do you think the ratings fell so dramatically? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fifth season? Would you watch it on another channel?
We love this show and are so sad that it will not be around this summer! There are very few good summer shows and we look forward to this all winter long. Please bring it back!
Franklin and Bash was the best TV show of the summer. I was looking forward to watching it this summer, Please bring back franklin and bash . I would definitely watch on another network channel.
Franklin and Bash was the best rv show ever, I was looking forward to watching it this summer, franklin and bash is the best show of the summer. Please bring back franklin and bash . I would definitely watch on another network channel.
I meant to say that franklin and bash is the Best TV show ever. I was typing to fast, but seriously TNT network, Franklin and Bash is awesome. I disagree with TNT network decision. I object. Please bring back franklin and bash.
Yes!!!!! I loved the show and I hope it gets picked up… I also lover NBC’s OUTLAW
I’m very disappointed that Franklin and Bash is not returning. I agree with Kathleen.
I was so looking forward to summer for all the TNT Franklin and Bash and Rizzoli and Isles!!!! I find it sad that you are not renewing the show!!!!!
Really going to miss Franklin and Bash wish it was coming back.
I also was looking forward to a renewed Franklin and Bash. The relations between the two stars was why I watched it they so lovable and their friendship with Pindar
and Carmen added a lot of humor. Also the staff to strange boss and the other lawyer
they picking were also so good to watch. All in all I really liked them all.
i would definitely watch F&B on another network. I really loved that show. Please bring them back!
Franklin and Bash was a great show for the first two seasons. Even the third season was ok, although Heather Locklear was terrible and made it tough to watch sometimes. I think what killed it was losing both the girl who played Carmen, as well as the guy who played Pindar, and it just wasn’t the same show. I tuned in the first episode of season 4, realized there was no Carmen and no Pindar, who were a lot of the comic relief and backstory of every episode, and didn’t watch another episode.
It was a great show Idk how other people didn’t like that show Zack an that other guy were awesome funny as hell I’d watch a fifth season and on another channel
Franklin and Bash was fun, flirty and my guilty pleasure. Please bring it back for another season. I love the acting, plot and sense of humor. Bring them back.
I loved this show! I think they should bring it back. Every time TNT gets a good show they cancel it. Now they are cancelling Perception, which is another good show with a good storyline, good actors, and humor. Pretty soon TNT won’t have anything on worth watching!
I agree for both shows I am disappointed that they are not renewing 🙁
Though I enjoyed the show in the beginning, I do agree that last season disappointed me. More sorry to see Perception go. Hope they find another home for it. I will be watching if they do.
I also loved this show and the actors in it. It always had a storyline plus humor and I was sad to see it get cancelled. I wish it had been renewed for another season and I would watch it on another channel. Like all the television stations they cancel the good shows and put on dumb and dumber shows and series!! Or they just save the bucks and keep running old re-runs over and over and over. like USA with Special Victims.
This show sucked. Good riddance.
I loved this show with its quirkiness and puns. Please bring it back. Just as long as you never bring Heather Locklear back. I thought she was just awful and brought the show down. It is such a great show ad the reason why you cancelled it is so lame. PLEASE BRING FRANKLIN AND BASH BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
