Telly’s Take
This FOX series started as a hit but the ratings fell pretty quickly and they have continued to fall each year. After season three’s dismal ratings, some wondered if Sleepy Hollow’s numbers could go any lower. Well, they have. At the end of season four, there will be 62 episodes. That’s not enough episodes for a regular syndication package but it’s hard to imagine that FOX will order a fifth season. 5/9 update: FOX has cancelled Sleepy Hollow. Details here.

J’adore Sleepy Hollow !!!
L’un des meilleurs spectacles à la télévision. écriture très créatif pour chaque épisode. S’il vous plaît renouveler ce spectacle !! Il devrait y avoir la saison 5 en milieu rural plus … Plus d’histoire 21 ou 24 épisodes … 🙂
I love Sleepy Hollow !!!
Please renew. I really like the new cast, love, love, love Tom Mison. The writers have been so creative weaving in history with what the witnesses see, it is so entertaining. I am tight in your corner, Sleepy Hollow. Fox, please do not abandon those of us who have been faithful to this series.
Please renew, I love the stories blended with some history – i like this fourth season best with the new characters. Sorry, i really didn’t miss Abby. i thought her character was little boring. sorry.
Pity they couldn’t save the show. Maybe that ‘boring’ character was needed, after all.
Should have Season 5 in more rural setting… More history and less over top fiction…better balance like there was in Season 1…
Was surprised at how GOOD this season was without Abby. I have really enjoyed the show and look forward to Friday at 9! Please renew!!
I have enjoyed all four seasons of Sleepy Hollow. Seriously miss Abby, but the story lines have been pretty decent since she left. This season with Ichabod in Washington, took a little while to get use to, but I liked the episodes. My opinion is that if there is a season 5 they take place in more historical rural towns, not large cities like D.C. I am pretty sure there may be a few of those towns with spooky historical legends. But please, I would very much like to see a Season 5.
How about Boston?
Sleepy Hollow is fantastic and really one of the best shows out there. If ratings are low, then it is because the network is not promoting it enough. Everyone I recommend the show to, all love it. The star of the show, Tom Mison, plays such a dignified unlikely hero, unlike any of the other TV shows out there. He isn’t all big and buff, but uses his vast historical knowledge from his past to figure out how to win battles. I love the writing for the show and how they have Crane speaking in such an eloquent manor. I… Read more »
One of the best shows today on TV. Excellent writing for each episode. Please don’t cancel this show.
One of the best shows on TV. Very creative writing for each episode. Please renew this show!!
Please don’t cancel Sleepy Hollow. One of the few shows I watch that hasn’t been cancelled. Absolutely love Tom Mison’s character. I thought season 4 was great.
They kind of snuck this season in with absolutely no fanfare and I was really hesitant to watch after the disaster that was season 3, but this season was actually pretty good. The new cast is interesting and this seemed like a good building season for some good things to come.
I would hate to see this series cancelled. I was amazed at how well the characters in season 4 began to come together and show some surprising chemistry and by Episode 13, this season’s finale, I was looking forward to Season 5 to see what becomes of the different sets of partners. The humor between Ichabod Crane and Agent Thomas is even better than what he had with Abigail, even though I thoroughly enjoyed that character. The unique aspect of Sleepy Hollow is that it’s something I can watch with my older grandchildren and shows that are truly family friendly… Read more »
Keep it going, I enjoy the characters immensely and the plots. Don’t stop now.
