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?
The Glades show was a great show. How dare them not bringing them back. I see you have a lot of new stupid shows and trash shows coming on this channel. I won’t be watching this network. This is want our society became trash. Not me. Glades was a good cop show with love, passion, respect, humor . What show is like that on the net works today ! None….
Bring back Glades and Jim and Callie belong together….
You air things like “Duck Dynasty”, “Storage and Parking Wars”, and other “reality” shows that are not real, but cancel a show that was entertaining and fun. Not only did you cancel it, you left us wondering who shot Jim, and will he live.
Bring back the Glades.
So true, they keep terrible showers and cancel good ones. Go figure
The Glades was a very interesting and good series. I watched it faithfully every week from the first show. The networks now days put stupid reality shows like Buying Hawaii, Buying the Byou, Buying this and that, that aren’t worth watching and not any network will pick up The Glades it is a grest show and such a shame not to renew it at least 1 more season.
I am so upset that the Glades was cancelled. I always looked so forward to watching the show and hated that it was only just a few months long then you had to wait for 10 months to watch it again. If A&E isn’t going to air it any more then I hope some other channel will.
I will never understand why they cancel really good shows like this one to put some of the other crap on tv. I have watched The Glades since the beginning and really looked forward to each season. Such a great cast with fabulous chemistry. You can’t leave people hanging like that without at least having a decent ending. Please, Please Please, Please, bring it back. There are so many loyal fans out there. There just isn’t much else to watch over the summer, and this show is one of the best.
Why do they always cancel the good shows. Not fair to end it in this manor. Just bring it back. Please
REALLY A&E !!! you seriously canceled The Glades , what were you thinking? A parently you were not! You were stupid like lifetime and canceled a awesome show then you were really stupid and did it on a cliffhanger!!!! Then you proceed to put Matt Passmore in really stupid mid life crappy show I can’t believe anyone it this stupid! Bing back the Glades!!!!!!!
There arent that many good shows! So why did you cancel a good one!
What a way to cancel a show. Really. I wait every year for it and especially after last seasons finale.
As other readers have previously stated, I am also disappointed. This was one of the only good shows on during the Summer. I’ve been looking forward to watching it. I, as well, am not a fan of reality t.v. Therefore, there’s not much reason to watch this channel anymore.
I really liked this show. The only one left on A&E. Enough of the reality shows! They lost me as a viewer
I have been following the show since the beginning and I couldn’t wait to see what happened to Jim after he was shot in season 4. So I couldn’t wait for season 5 and I just found out that the show has been canceled!!
I hope the come to an agreement so they can continue with the show. It was a very good show! It is so sad!
I am sooo disappointed that A&E cancelled a GREAT show. I can’t believe you cancelled The Glades. How can you leave us all hanging on who shot Jim?? I still have the series recording set up in my DVR so I wouldn’t miss a thing. I get that some series’ run their course and usually year 5 is when you start seeing the coming of the end but loyal fans to a show like to have loose ends tied up. There are alot of unanswered questions Please bring it back!!!!!
Disappointed not to see another season.
Totally disappointing to see Glades disappear. If you really want to something for your fans get rid of those stupid reality shows which are really not “reality” but scripted shows about uninteresting topics.
