The Bridge: Petition to Continue Airing the CBS TV Show

Trevor Kimball

14 years ago

Officer Craig Bromell has lots of problems. He’s a cop and family man who’s also the head of the police union — and now his show may be cancelled by CBS because of low ratings. The series is produced in Canada and has already been renewed for season two there but very likely won’t be shown in the US.

Remember, the most important thing to CBS and the sponsors is for people to watch the show on their television, while it’s being broadcast. If you like The Bridge and want to see it continue, there are a few things you can do to help keep it going.

Watch the show each week, preferably live, and encourage others to do the same. You might know a Nielsen family and not even know it.

Talk about the show with other people; at school, at work, online, or wherever. Creating a buzz about a show gets people interested and helps them stay invested in watching.

Sign the petition below and encourage others to do the same.

Write to the network. Be respectful. Everyone responds better to courtesy. Tell them how much you enjoy the show, that you’ve signed the petition, and that you want to see it continue. You can use this form or, even better, write via snail-mail to: Ms. Nina Tassler, CBS, 7800 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90039, RE: The Bridge

Take note of the products that you see advertised consistently during the show. Write the advertisers and tell them that you appreciate their sponsoring the show and that you buy their products (if you do).

To 990 Multi Media Entertainment Company, CBS Television Studios, CTV, E1 Entertainment, and Jonsworth Productions:

We, the undersigned, have enjoyed watching The Bridge TV show. Though it currently airs on Saturday nights, we make a point to watch the series and look forward to it each week.

Please find a way to keep The Bridge on the air in the United States. We are devoted viewers who will continue to watch the program, encourage others to do the same, and will support the series’ advertisers as well. If necessary, change its night and time. Please keep it going, either on CBS or, if necessary, on another channel.

Thank you for your consideration.

I thought the bridge was an excellent series on TV and saw the series both seasons. It is a shame it has been cancelled. I spoent 2.5 years working near the boder towns and it was authentic to me. I would like to see it come back.

The show is awesome well written and very entertaining. The characters are unique. I will miss wednesday nights without it.

Don GrantCountry: Canada2014-12-15 19:24:47

Please don't cancel season 3 of the Bridge! It's one of the best shows out there right now! I can't believe it is being canceled over some of the other ridiculous shows out right now!

FredCountry: USA2014-11-22 06:52:50

Guess you have to stick with the tried and proven reality TV show formula if you want to stick around Too bad. I really liked the show. Great setting, well acted and done.

MaryannCountry: USA2014-11-17 16:41:42

Best show on television. Please, please reinstate it!

Sarah CookCountry: United States2014-11-06 23:47:49

Best show on tv. PLEASE RENEW IT!!!!

AnitaCountry: Canada2014-10-28 22:59:15

I'm confused we're all writing to save The Bridge the amazing TV show with the flawless Diane Krueger. The picture on this site seems to refer to a Canadian show with the same name? Can someone please fix this and can another network please save this richly acted and scripted series. The two leads are perfect. I madly love Marcos and Sonia. I need a few more years with them. Please and pretty please.

Julie DonaldsonCountry: USA2014-10-28 13:31:39

Please keep this show for next season. Having Spanish and English spoken in a prime time show is reaching such a broad audience. This show is truly unique and important in helping to "bridge" the gap between cultures.

Dan HendricksCountry: USA2014-10-25 19:30:18

I recently started watching " the Bridge", it is a great show. Please do not cancel it. I am just catching up to it last episodes and would really like to have another s season!

I'm really sorry to see that The Bridge did not get renewed! It was a smart, edgy, dark and often difficult show to watch show (because of the brutality ) and most often and unsettling. Why did I watch it? The acting was great....and so were the scripts. Eventually The Bridge became a favorite show of mine because the actors were so good portraying the characters....like them or not. Interesting characters played by excellent actors and actresses is prime entertainment. One of the most fascinating characters I think I've ever seen in any TV series was Eleanor Nacht played by Franka Potente.....whose portrayal was absolutely outstanding, in my opinion. Eleanor came across as odd, creepy, lethal and full of contradictions....at times childlike and then repulsive.....and yet I kept coming back to see what she would do next. I was sure the script writers would continue to introduce interesting and complex characters with scripts that brought unexpected twists in them for the next season....sadly that will not be the case.....unless enough people ask for its return. Please consider me one of the people asking for that The Bridge be renewed!!

PLEASE ALLOW THE BRIDGE TO RETURN TO THE AMERICAN AUDIENCE. IT WAS FACINATING AND DRAMATIC. THINGS AS THIS ACTUALLY OCCUR AND PEOPLE SHOUDL HAVE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT GOES ON NOT AVOID IT. THANK YOU

I really enjoyed watching The Bridge and so did my husband. It was very interesting and different than some of the other shows. I hope that at least we can see the end of the first season and the second season here. I wonder how they acquire the ratings and how many people were watching it? We have never been contacted nor has anyone we know.

guyCountry: canada2013-10-06 18:01:21

love the show

Susan FredregillCountry: United States2013-09-22 23:25:25

The Bridge is a unique and refreshing crime drama. Please give it a chance to find its audience.

GerryCountry: Canada2012-09-13 18:16:04

The bridge did run a full season in Canada. The episodes are on Ctv.ca great show and it ended without resolution. Bring it back after three years!

PLONI ALMONICountry: CANADA2012-04-16 07:33:47

I have been watching cop series for over 55 years, since Dragnet with Jack Webb. BRIDGE is very enjoyable and I like it very much. I really miss especially since it was pulled without notice which seems very unfair.

dmanCountry: canada2011-12-17 13:28:30

been waiting for new shows since last year really enjoyed show

Rosemary KoshelkaCountry: Canada2011-08-19 11:56:09

The series The Bridge was one of the top 3 programs in our household. Please don't take it off the air.

Madelin DzikowskiCountry: Guelph,Ont, Canada2011-06-13 09:39:50

This series The Bridge is a high class police drama and was always very realistic but in good taste. With every other channel carrying some type of police program, there was no contest as to what I would watch when The Bridge was on air. Chicago Code is also a police drama which should be still aired. If I may say so, someone should step back and see this from a middle class viewer's perspective. You have programs that are exceptional in entertainment, The Bridge, Chicago Code, CSI, Law and Order, Flashpoint, and Ncis, Lie to Me, Criminal Minds and of course NCIS. But, we the viewers spend half our evening trying to figure out which night they are on. STOP SWITCHING CHANNELS. A voice in Guelph. Madelin
