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?
Great show! Should have never been cancelled. Bring it back please
Nooooooooooo. Such a let down!! Love this show
Bring it back, I’ll watch it on any channel.
this is just ridic when a GOOD show with great chemistry among all (sure there were lots of innuendos), but still another show left with a “cliff hanger” ending..this is just so irritating..and, Longmire is being aired on Netflix and I won’t pay to watch what should still be on regular TV prime time programming..are RATINGS (AND THE ALL MIGHTY $$$$) THAT IMPORTANT WHEN THERE IS A LOYAL AUDIENCE WHO WANT AND NEED THESE PROGRAMS TO TAKE THEIR MINDS OFF EVERYDAY LIFE?? INSTEAD YOU HAVE STUPID SHOWS LIKE BIG BROTHER, SURVIVOR, BOOM(?)? OH, AND DALLAS!!!! THAT WAS A REAL LOW… Read more »
Can’t believe it was cancelled I loved the show, it was so entertaining! I looked forward to it every week. TNT is moving in the wrong direction.
Bad decision! F & B is a great show and should definitely be renewed for at least another season!! Did Bash leave? Did Franklin and Swatello make it work? I need closure…..
Its one of the most amazing and hilarious shows ive seen to date! and being a serial addict i would really love to see another season or even 2! please give them another chance
Loved the show and how funny it was. Witty concepts, way better than so many reality or end-of-the-world shows. I would definitely watch this on another channel. Give it another chance, please.
i was looking forward to a new season of F&B. **** you, TNT.
Was looking forward to watching Franklin and Bash.

Loved the show. It was my go to when Psych was not on.
Jared and Peter and their bumps on the 80’s were great and made me remember things from being a kid. 🙂 It was nice to be able to watch with my kids and laugh and explain what they said.
Bring it back !!!
Só bad that it was cancelled. Never undrestood why every season had only 10 episodes. It was a great and very funny serie.
The show was great. Very disappointed it has been cancelled. Would definitely watch on another channel or Netflix etc
I can’t believe you cancel this show. I love that show it was real funny and I love the characters. I hope you’ll chance your mind and put it back on. That was one of the best show you’ll played on you’ll network. Please put it back on again. Mrs ann Jarrett
