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?
IT IS WRONG, WRONG, WRONG to leave us hanging. Good show, good cast and good plots. Lots of humor. It is unprofessional, unfair and unfaithful to your viewers to leave us with Jim on the floor and bleeding in Callie’s dream house….. It you want to end it then end it correctly. Makes me wonder if Jim had fangs and Callie was a hooker and Carlos was a gang banger if it would have gotten cut?
Why cancel this show???? Cancel some if the other ones!!!
BRING IT BACK! SOMEBODY BRING IT BACK! At the very least there should be a finale. It is just wrong to leave people hanging!
Please please give us the fans and the actors closure i think we deserve it for being faithful to the show they were great.
Please please gives us the chance for closure it’s not fair to all the faithful fans i loved this show because the actors were so great they deserve closure too.
Bring it back for one more season. To end a show like that is wrong on so many levels. A&E, bring it back. Never missed a show all four years.
You remove one of the decent shows from A&E and replace it with Barry’d Treasure, Smo Knows, hours and hours of Duck Dynasty and Storage Wars. Finally there was a program with a story line, what is wrong with you people? Mindless “entertainment” is not always what we want and I know I won’t be watching A&E anymore.
YES JIM AND CALLIE SHOULD BE TOGETHER!!! THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!! FINISH IT THE RIGHT WAY BY HAVING A FINAL SEASON!!! COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you guys should at least complete the cliffhanger. Wow first you go after duck dynasty and now you cancel a pretty good show.
I never miss a show it is a fantastic show, please bring it back!!!!!!!!
I really loved the show. Dedicated watcher. I have been betrayed for my loyalty. Fox pick up the show and at least gives us loyal Glades Fans closure.
REALLY the Glade is the reason I even watch A&E with that gone no need for me to keep watching A&E. I agree to much crap shows stay on and the good shows always get cancelled.
I’m really ticked off at A&E for doing that. The Glades is a great show. And to leave the fans like that is totally unacceptable!! I’ve been emailing A&E 2-3 times a week to let them know how I feel. Everyone that’s a fan should do the same, and let the advertisers know also . At the very least give it a happy ending!
I love The Glades I can’t believe that they canceled it at a suckish clifhanger. 🙁 I was really looking forword to finding out about who shot Jim and why they didnt want him to get married.
Meant to say just NOT watch this station!!
I never missed this show, and to cancel it without a proper ending is wrong. Why do they keep crap shows on? I’d like to just watch this station. Maybe I will!
