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?
this really sucks i watched that show faithfully Jim and Callie should be together and now I will never know that sucks I REPEAT THAT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
You guys suck!!! How could you cancel such a great show and keep all the other crap on tv. Like the bachelor cancel that piece of crap ( I don’t think that’s your network, but you get my point) cancel something else. And to leave it the way you did just sucks you need to resolve the cliffhanger we the fans deserve that at least. My wife is distraught as well this was a great show. I may stop watching Longmire in protest. And I think everyone should stop watching A and E in protest. You guys suck! Big time!… Read more »
I am very disappointed that the show was cancelled. I was really forward to this season. You idiots cancel all thr good shows. I wish another station would pick it up
What is wrong with you people at A & E? The Glades was a great show. The Glades was the ONLY reason I started to watch ANY of A & E programming – since I have been watching quite a bit of A & E’s shows.
The very least A & E could do is 1 more season so we’re not left hanging w/Jim shot!
Gosh, I loved that show & waited every season for it to start!
Very disappointing. I’ve been waiting for the new season. Didn’t know it had been cancelled. Stinks!
I don’t usually leave comments about shows, but I just had to this time. I had not been a fan of A&E until I starting watching “Glades,” since then I have become a fan and have been watchinf some of their other shows. I am also extremely disappointed with A&E for cancelling “Glades.” I wanted to see at least one more season especially since the season finale left viewers with Jim and Cally in such a terrible situation. “Glades” was a fresh approach to the old crime solving detective series that I enjoy watching. The stars of the show did… Read more »
The way The Glades ended really sucks. I’ve been looking forward to the 2014 season’s first episode ever since the last episode of 2013 aired. Now I find out the show was cancelled. I agree with all the comments I’ve read. It is bad enough when a show you like is cancelled after the first season, but I’m really getting sick of watching series for several seasons that are suddenly cancelled with no closure for the fans. Callie & Jim deserve better and so do their fans.
I am so disappointed with A&E fir csncelling The Glades. Ditching a show that helped you become established as a network is about as low as you can go. They claim it was due to a decline in the audience base, how is the proven??? Neilson never called my home to see what I watched over the summer and I can assure you I’m not alone. A&E has been blocked in my home.
How could you leave us hanging like that? I may never watch A&E again on TV. Sleaze-balls.
I agree with Cindy. The fans deserve closure.
yes i think that jim an callie should be together. I also think that fox canceling another good show sucks.
this was one of the few shows I really enjoyed watching why would you cance this great show?
Ridiculous! You couldn’t cancel one of the other moronic shows? Yes, Jim and Callie should be together, and yes you should have ended it with closure and NOT a cliff hanger if you were canceling the show!
Okay, I can understand cancelling a show…but you know change the ending of the last episode. Left with Cally at the alter and Jim bleeding on the floor of her dream house….
I and my husband are extremely disappointed you dirt bags.
Totally disappointing. It is really frustrating when they cancel a show I love, but especially frustrating when the cliff hanger was that dramatic….
