What do you think? Do you like Switched at Birth TV series? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
I love this TV show
Waiting on season 5!!!!! Just watched all 4 seasons in 2 weeks. Lol
Abc cancels twisted after one season and switched at borth gets a 5th season? That’s messed up. The best part about SAB was Ty and he’s back in the army. If they bring back Ty then I’ll be interested again.
I think that the producers should add more series. I was just playing around on Netflix when I saw swiched at birth I whatched 1 episode and fell in love with the show. So proud ulcers you need to add more episodes.Please let the show not be cancelled I love the show and all the drama. The producers messed up having Bay and Emmett break up. If seoson 5 comes out I’m looking forward to what happens next. That’s all I have to say so goodbye and happy holidays.A.M.T
Its super duper entertaining
Switched at birth is the best show ever. I am 47 and we have watch parties with the entire family.
Awesome show!
The only reason I think the ratings dropped was because they split up Bay and Emmett. And the character Bay has been acting really mean and stupid lately. But mostly the break up its just too much to take bay and Emmett are suppose to be always together but now it seems like they are never going to get back together and that sucks it make us fans feel awful because it’s been them from the start and they just ended it like that. But I will keep watching to support and I have some hope.
I’m older than the target demographic, but I LOVE this show! I think the characters are engaging and relatable, the acting superb; the topics presented are intelligent, thought-provoking. I’d love to keep watching for years to come!
Keep switched at birth on the air……PLEASE!!!!!
Switched At Birth has already been renewed for another season. I am so happy they have renewed the show for another season. I love this show and I’m glad it’s not being cancelled. Please do not ever cancel this show ever. Please renew this show for a whole lot more seasons of Switched At Birth. I am so Happy it’s being renewed for another season next year of 2016. This makes me so happy.
S5 renewal comes as a huge surprise due to the ratings hit the show took from the huge misstep of the whole Tank storyline fiasco… Huge ratings killer!
SAB should absolutely have at least one more season. They need to finish it all up before cancelling it! Take a page out of Parenthoods book…if you are going to end the series end it with a great finale that gives closure of all the story lines!
I really hope that they renew another season. I am looking forward to season 5. Please say it’s not cancelled.
