In case you haven’t heard, TNT has cancelled HawthoRNe after three seasons on the air. The medical drama ran for 30 episodes total, from June 2009 until August 2011. HawthoRNe’s ratings started out strong but dipped each season. It was the lowest-rated drama on TNT this summer except for Men of a Certain Age, a drama that was cancelled after two seasons on the air.
Series star Jada Pinkett Smith broke the news to her fans by writing, “Hey everyone…if you don’t know Hawthorne will not be returning for another season. I want to say thank you to all the fans for being Hawthorne soldiers. All our facebook fans…twitter soldiers and viewers…you held us down. Of course you know there is more to come…believe it!”
Following a steamy scene between Smith and costar Marc Anthony, there were rumors that the two were having an affair. Supposedly, she and her husband, Will Smith, were also splitting up. The Smiths issued a statement last week that addressed the rumors, “Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact.”
Vanessa Lengies (CNO Kelly Epson) sympathized with HawthoRNe fans who were sad about the show’s demise and tweeted, “Loyal HawthoRNe followers, u know if it was up 2 me I would play Kelly 4 you til you asked me 2 stop.” She also posted a few backstage photos of herself and the cast.
Aisha Hinds (Isabel Walsh) was upset by the cancellation news and wrote, “:-( Boooo!!! Love my HawthoRNe Family!”
What do you think? Are sorry to see the TV series end? Could HawthoRNe have been saved?

I loved the show. It is a great drama with a wonderful cast. why would you want to cancel it and if this really is it, why was the last episode written the way it was. It could have ended a bit happier.
I was very disappointed to learn of the cancelling of Hawthorne. It was an awesome show. I was hoping Christina and Tom would get back together in season 4.
Why ruin it for everyone??!!! I loved this show and looked forward to Tuesday nights just to see what was going to happen. You will be back on the air before long I PROMISE you that!!! FOX will pick you guys up or BET!! LOVE the show and hate to see it go for any period of time. Good luck Jada!!
To say that i am disappointed that Hawthorne was cancelled would be a understatement, It’s amazing and a shame that the network will air the reality shows that is nothing but garbage but will not continue to air a show with substance and feeling. I think the network should be boycotted until they not only return Hawthorne but bring it back in a earlier time slot worthy of the show. Love You Jada and the entire cast….
I really hope another network picks up Hawthorne. I love this show. whoever decided this show should be cancelled needs their head examined.
I LOVED THE SHOW!!!!!!!I LOVED EVERYONE IN IT!!!!!ALLLLLLLLL MY FRIENDS WATCHED—BUT WE ALL COMMENTED ON LAST SEASONS STORYLINE. IT LOST ITS PURPOSE. INSTEAD OF BEING A BEAUTIFUL, SENSITIVE, CARING MEDICAL PERSON CHRISTINA WAS NONCARING AND SELFCENTERED. TO MUCH SEX AND PERSONAL ISSUES INSTEAD OF THE ORIGINAL PLOT. I HOPE THESE COMMENTS FROM ALL OF US WILL BRING THE SHOW BACK. IT WAS REFRESHING TO WATCH.
WE’RE ALL IN OUR 70S.
LOVE YOU JADA
Why do all the good show get axed. I loved Hawthorne – I think the writers got it wrong with changing her character – have another go
Great idea. Yes OWN should pick it up! I love the show!
HAWTHORNE BEST TV SHOW. YALL CRAZY FOR STOPING THE SERIES. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD PUT IT BACK ON N JUS DO BETA NEXT SEASON. I WOULD LOVE FOR HER N TOM TO GET BACK TOGETHER. THIS MAKES NE SO UPSET
OWN should snatch it up! I love HawthoRn!
Leave it on!! Put her as hospital adm. Her & tom back together.
Great story line, strong cast. I love the way the cast blended. But I did not like the way Christine was protrayed this season. I became hopeful with Christine becoming hospital administrator. It would have been a great story line for Christine’s fall to rise again or atleast the beginning of. Now it has just all come to a complete stop.
I loved the show HAWTHRONE!!! I am going to miss it SOOO much! It was awesome! :'(
I will miss the show–Anthony did not help. I hope that the finale leaves an oppotunity for resurrection.
I was very disappointed in the story line this last season. The character of Christine was taken from a proud, black, educated, caring, compasionate, resourcesful, talented women to a person who cheated on her new husband, stopped caring about others only about herself, and became a character I would never have as a friend. If the story line of her dedication to the hospital had continued with the story lines being about Christine fighting for patients………we would be seeing another season. I wish I could convince them to do another season and let me give them some WOW storylines!
