What do you think? Do you like the Longmire TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a fourth season?
Longmire is the best show out there, introduced by netflix. Thanks for letting us stream A&E. There’s nothing worth purchasing cable for in the wasteland of fiber optic anyway……
My husband & I are huge fans of Longmire! The only way I know about the schedule is to ask to follow it from my Google page….certainly not from anything A & E does to promote it or should I say, the lack thereof. I will ask my husband, ” is this Monday?; great Longmire comes on…sooooooo excited, something good to watch. We DO like Duck Dynasty though, did I mention we are from NW Louisiana 😉 It’s Monday Whoo Hoo!
I like this show. I didn’t even now Season 3 was on until June 15th. Still not sure which night it’s on. No wonder the ratings are down A&E or AMC or whatever you are.
It’s on tonight, Monday night, at 10pm EDT/9 pm CDT on A&E. They also replay the latest 2 episodes Sunday mornings starting at 10 am and then the latest episode from the prior Monday at 3pm Mondays. Tonight is the 3rd episode of season 3. You can view the 1st 2 episodes of season 3 on your computer at aetv.com/longmire to catch up.
Longmire is one of the best TV shows in years. I believe there should be a total of 7 seasond. It’s a rear gem. The only reason that the ratings fell is over one thing this series is only on 1 time a year. It needs to be given 2 times a year. F/X did this with Nip/Tuck and it was perfect. A&E needs to do this 11 episodes each, season. A total of 22 a year. That’s the best way to keep viewer ship up. I don’t watch much TV I love Longmire and Bates Motel yet the only… Read more »
Best show on TV in several years. Interesting realistic stories, great actors, and filmed mostly outside in beautiful northern New Mexico. Too bad Longmire is not on a major network. People I know, don’t watch anything on A&E, which is a junk network (except for the 10 episodes of Longmire). Longmire has major competition this summer from several shows on at the same time, which could reduce Longmire’s ratings.
Me again, I feel this is really the only show A&E has going for it.
Storage Wars ENOUGH ALREADY! SAME AS SHIPPING WARS, it’s horrible since Roy died, he was hard to handle but I miss him.
Bates Motel I’m watching just twist & turns and it’s not Psycho! The actors are very interesting.
Don’t start me on Duck or that new one the singing guy.
A&E use to be my one and almost only channel. I’m embarrassed by what I watch now.
PLEASE LONGMIRE LIVE ON FOR A LONG TIME!!!
I don’t know how A&E survives. Must be Duck Dynasty pays all the bills. Can’t believe people are watching constant repeats of Criminal Minds, Storage Wars, and Dog the Bounty Hunter. Personally I don’t Bates Motel, actors are talented, but don’t care for the content. A&E isn’t even smart enough to rerun episodes of Longmire. They have a Criminal Minds repeat as lead in to new episodes. They cancelled The Glades and didn’t even come up with an original replacement for it as lead in for Longmire.
A&E ARE IN TROUBLE!!!!!!
i better get a 4th season best show on tv any one want updates longmire has a facebook page and alot of fans
Good God! Even though I get A&E, I never even heard of this show until I stumbled upon old episodes on Netflix. How do they expect to get viewers, if nobody even knows it exists?
Three years in you’re just discovering it. Proves the bad job A&E is doing promoting it. It takes Netflix a year after the season airs to get the show. Spread the word about Longmire. Obviously A&E isn’t doing it so those of us that like the show have to do A&E’s job or them.
Does A & E even have an advertising budget ? The only way I knew that there was a new season starting, is because I have it on my “list” on my DVR ! Great show, LOUSY advertising. I don’t understand the viewership decline, either.
They use their Ad budget for Longmire unwisely. They put up huge billboards in NYC and LA, they show previews of Longmire at movie theaters but they don’t advertise the show at all that I can see on other TV channels and advertise very little even on A&E. I see ads for shows on other cable channels all the time on TNT and USA. If people are like me and don’t watch anything else on A&E other than Longmire they would never know about it or know when the new season starts, I think Longmire has a big audience outside… Read more »
snowdogmom, You have hit the nail, on the proverbial head….as it were !!!
By the way admin, there are only going to be 10 episodes in season 3.
This the only show that’s a not to miss for me. I just can’t understand why the ratings are down for season 3. The 2 episodes so far have been so good and the season 2 finale was great. Maybe people don’t know it’s started back or they have the Neilson boxes in the wrong houses! Hope they go up since A&E as is doesn’t support Longmire the way they should and there seems no rhyme or reason why they cancel what they do.
M husband and I both really enjoy watching the show Longmire. Thanks to NETFLIX we watched seasons 1 and 2. But, so far, season 3 is turning out to be the best. The writers have done an awesome job!
I hope Longmire is renewed. I enjoy the gritty storylines and strong character development.
THIS IS THE ONLY SHOW LONGMIRE THAT I LOVE!!!! Walt is a heart throb!
We look forward to this outstanding program. Very well done. We love cowboys!!!
