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 show is awesome. I agree, with a show so good why would you just leave us hanging..unless..the fans don’t mean very much…I wish they would do the right thing.
I guess the fans do not mean much. This was a good show that deserves an ending. Even if ratings are down and even if it is going to get cancel at least end it!!!!!!
RIGHT! AT LEAST END THE SHOW THE RIGJT WAY INSTEAD OF LEAVING FANS WONDERING WTF HAPPENS NEXT? But then again A&E already knew the millions of fans are going to complain and have an internet riot.. BUT THEN AGAIN A&E CAN CARE LESS its why they did what they did.. And I’m 110% positive they they are viewing all of the fans comments and questions! But like I said A&E DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT FANS..
The Glades was highly entertaining and fairly well written. What a shame that another good scripted show bites the dust for cheap television. So much for Art or Entertainment.
You need to take a public survey! We all look forward to watching the Glades and Longmire.
You gave no justifiable reason for the cancelation. Please give us what we love to watch.
You left at a cliffhanger. And you producer want us to buy the dvd for what, nothing has been resolve in the show. We the public should have a say or tell us why it has been cancelled. It can’t be the rating. Please ,Please renew their contract for the 5th season.
Please and thank -you
I’ve been waiting for this show to return and to leave us hanging is so unfair. I had no clue that it wasn’t coming back until I just saw a new series with Matt Passmore. Thanks a lot A&E, you SUCK!!!
Shame on you A&E. Those who are loyal to the Glades should be able to see what
happens to Jim and Callie. You draw someone in for years and then just drop it.
No wonder people dont want to get involved in another show…..next you will cancel Longmire.
At least put in on the website only so we can see the wedding.
SEE A&E ALL THE FANS WANT SEASON 5 STOP BEING SO MONEY HUNGRY LIKE 98% OF THE WORLD AND AIR WHAT THE MILLIONS OF FANS WANT.. THERES ALWAYS STUPID SHOWS ABOUT PEOPLE LIVES AND PARTIES THAT GETS AIRED BUT WHEN THERE IS INFACT A GREAT SHOW A&E DOES NOT WANT TO AIR IT..
I think them leaving us hanging like that sucks! Come on! Let us know how it ends! We want a wedding! And we don’t want him shot to death either! Not cool! Please reconsider season 5!
I’m a day late and a dollar short — as they say, I just spent the last few days watching The Glades on Netflex — all 4 seasons — then I came to the iternet to find that the show is cancelled— this is very disappointing, to say the least. A&E made the biggest mistake they could have made in doing so….and then to do it leaving fans on the edge of their seats….
I just got done watching the last episode of season 4 I was shocked that Jim was cheap shotted by his assailant from behind. A&E TERRIBLE CHOICE OF CANCELLING ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS SHAME ON YOU.. now how am I supposed to find out if he lives or dies huh? A&E you people make enough money don’t be so freaking greedy put the show back on for the fans there are billions of people in the USA everyone’s got favorite shows.. I’m a criminal justice major, since Jim left a message on Marcus’s phone obviously they are going to… Read more »
Unbelievable that The Glades is cancelled. Poor decision on A&E. Fans obviously don’t matter or you wouldn’t have ended the show the way you did. Well one less fan of A&E.
Oh my GOD!!! How can A & E just leave us fans hanging? Is there some sort of petition to bring it back? If there is I want in. I hate you, A & E! You don’t know a good thing when you have it! I feel like I’m the one that got shot!
An ending would have been nice. I agree that a&e is now overpopulated with reality shows and lacks creative and watchable content. I also think that they do not show consideration for their viewers. FYI… without viewers you wouldn’t have a network…or a bottom line to consider.
How DARE you cancel “The Glades” and leave us all hanging. The LEAST you can do is follow up with a 2 hour movie to put an end to this storyline!
I loved The Glades and I have been waiting for it to come back this season. Just checked on line and found out is has been canceled. Shocked!!! I can’t understand how A&E could cancel with out at least a finale of some sort. Please bring it back. There is hardly any thing good to watch on cable anymore. So sad 🙁
