As expected A&E has cancelled The Glades after four seasons on the air. There won’t be a fifth season or wedding for Jim (Matt Passmore) and Callie (Kiele Sanchez).
The dramedy began in July 2010 and it became their first scripted series to last more than a season. The cancellation comes days after The Glades’ fourth season finale attracted 3.41 million viewers. This was the show’s most-watched episode since the series premiere which drew 3.55 million.
Unfortunately, the fourth season as a whole was down by 14% year-to-year and The Glades was the cable channel’s lowest-rated scripted series. It didn’t help that the show was also produced by Fox, an outside studio, so A&E didn’t have a financial stake in the show’s future.
Of course, the real losers are the fans. The fourth season ended on a cliffhanger with Jim being shot in the chest by an unknown assailant. Hopefully the producers will find a way to give faithful viewers an idea of what might have happened in season five.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that The Glades has been cancelled? How would you have resolved the cliffhanger? Should Jim and Callie be together?
What is it with these networks. They get you hooked on a great show then they pull the pug on you. I’ve been waiting the whole off season to find out what happen to Jim getting shot only to find out my favorite show is cancelled. Not a happy camper. A&E what is wrong with your people who make these stupid decisions.
Bring it back! Only reason I watched A&E. Loved the characters and storylines. My wife and I are really disappointed that the show was cancelled.
Bring the show back!!!!
My wife and I ran across this show by accident. We enjoyed the characters and their goofy chemistry along with the clever banter. We decided to stop watching the episode we were viewing and go back to S1E1 to figure out where everyone was coming from. The long and short of it, we were hooked. We caught up to the current episode in season 2 and never missed one thereafter. Needless to say, we were very disappointed when season 4 ended and the show just vanished. Would Jim be found in time to save him? If so, would he and… Read more »
Soo sad! Loved this series !!! Hope there will be at least a couple of more chapters I’m conclusion ….
This is so sad. I have always enjoyed murder mysteries and not reality shows that have no intellectual content. Your numbers are going to continue to fall with poor shows, “The Glades” was a great choice. I will miss this show. I hope someone will pick it up.
Very disappointed, loved this show. I was patiently waiting for Season 5 and to see that it has been cancelled is disheartening, especially with the cliffhanger you left us with. BRING IT BACK!!!!!
Typical network greedheads with no consideration for the fans that make there networks possible in the first place. Just throw another great show on the old scrap heap. Too bad. I really loved the show, and was looking forward to it returning.
This is getting so old, I would rather watch shows like this then stupid reality shows.. Bring Back Glades
I am so disappointed. My DVR was and still is set to record the new season!!!! I have been waiting to see what was going to happen after last season’s dramatic ending. I love this show!!!! I would really love to be able to watch another season but the least the network could do is end the show properly.
I just found out that the Glades was cancelled for season five. What a rip off to leave us hanging like that. I love the show I am really disappointed. Its not right to end it like that.
I hate that networks don’t consider fans need for closure when they cancel a show.
I wish networks would use a better rating system than what they’ve been using for the last 50 years. Don’t they pay attention to social media?
I really liked that show, very disappointing to cut it off like that. At least bring it back long enough for a happy ending.
How can you cancel such a great show? Plus you left everything up in the air-you could at least resolve things! What a ripoff to those who watch your network!
How can this be? I loved the show and was waiting for season 5. Bring the show back!!!!
