Leverage: Season Five Ratings - canceled TV shows

The coolest gang of thieves, grifters, and con artists (Aldis Hodge, Beth Riesgraf, Christian Kane, Gina Bellman, and Timothy Hutton) are back for a fifth season on Leverage.

Will the TV show continue to bring in ratings that will get it brought back for another year on TNT? As you know, the TV series’ ratings are the best way to tell if Leverage will be cancelled or renewed for a sixth season.

The fifth season of Leverage typically airs Sunday or Tuesday nights. There are only 15 episodes this time (vs 18 last season).

I failed to mention in my previous post that this series “Leverage” has proven, along with others, that you do not need sex and/or bad language to have a really good series that attracts enough of a fan base to win the People’s Choice Awards for favorite Cable TV Drama. The violence in this series is more humorous seeing that no one really got hurt, except one episode that I can remember. They were just knocked out and the character Elliot, when he got his hands on a gun would unload the bullets or cartridges and throw them down, giving… Read more »

We need to rally for Leverage, and against those who brought it down…namely the evil, greedy Wal-mart Conglomerate! We should all boycot Wal-mart for sure, if we haven’t already! Then demand that TNT show some (b…s) initiative and fight back for Leverage, for the wonderful cast and crew, and for all of the wounded viewers who have been punched in the gut, having their favorite program thrust out from under them! And for what? No good reason except having been pounced on by a paranoid, full of sour grapes, guilty as hell Giant Corporate Bully! We may just need the… Read more »
