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?
They should have of thought of the viewers!!! My respect for A&E is done all their shows are horrible!
About the only thing A&E has on now are reality shows so I guess it’s goodbye for me……keeping stupid reality shows when you have good shows like Longmire and The Glades sucks BIG TIME!
Cancelling The Glades is a big mistake on A & E’s part. Idiots. A well scripted show that had all something for everyone.
I think that sucks that The Glades has been cancelled…….no consideration for the fans whatsoever……just leave things hanging……to hell with your bloody ratings…..why cancel a great show and leave everything up in the air…..makes absolutely no sense to me at all!! I may even quit watching A&E…..all they care about are the almighty ratings…..to hell with the fans!!
I cannot believe this show has been cancelled! The network is making a big mistake! Why would you end the season like you did? Ridiculous!
A&E could at least have shown some respect for both the fans and those involved in the show by avoiding a cliffhanger. That’s simply inexcusable.
I agree completely. They knew they were going to cancel the series in plenty of time to film an alternate ending to the last show. Unfortunately, what the viewers want is apparently unimportant to the networks
This is a ridiculous thing and this is why I stopped watching netwotks that let they’re bottom line being dictated by advertisers that are not in touch with reality and the Fox Network is a fine ongoing example and these are the destructers of family traditions!
The Glades was one of the best shows A&E had and to cancel it with a cliffhanger like they did is ridiculous. There wasn’t much left to watch on A&E and now there’s nothing but Longmire which I won’t watch since they have no clue as to end a series. Stick a fork in me – I am sooooo done with A&E!
I’m going to miss The Glades very much.
Somebody needs yo bring it back! Longmire and Glades are the best scripted shows
AE had.
I agree…..Longmire and The Glades were the ONLY two good shows A&E had……I won’t be watching A&E any longer that’s for sure……they can go to blazes!!!
I agree…..Longmire and The Glades were the ONLY two good shows A&E had……why don’t they cancel ridiculous shows like Duck Dynasty……won’t be watching A&E anymore!
This really stinks! Yes Jim and Callie should be together. The viewers want closure! To have a cliffhanger like that and end the series is ridiculous. You leave a silly shows on like Duck Dynasty, but you cancel a show that is actually worth watching. Again ridiculous! I will not be watching A&E anymore. Hope those bearded duck boys finally do or say something stupid enough to make you cancel them.
I’m PISSED!! I NEVER WATCHED LONGMIRE AND WILL NOT WATCH A&E EVER AGAIN..
I loved this show. A & E has made a real mistake!
I’M PISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEVER WATCHED LONGMIRE, I WON’T WATCH A&E ANY MORE!
You people suck
