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?
Extremely disappointed that one of my favorite shows has been discontinued….
What you did to us viewers is a crime I lost faith in watching T V series, why don’t you make a movie as a end instead of a series. I think you would find out how many people really love this show! AP Yonkers N.Y.
I have never been so disappointed in a network as I was with A&E cancelling The Glades. I couldn’t wait until the show came back on each season and then left us with a show with no closer. How could you possibly do that to the viewers. You brought back Longmire which I truly love that show also so why not at least have one more season with The Glades to end it well. Local TV shows are mostly all crap. I will not get involved in another new show knowing it will probably be cancelled.
I was trying to find out when the glades was going to start again. found out it was cancelled.i love this show. how could they renew Longmire and not the glades. Longmire is a snooze. the glades was exciting and very entertaining. im very upset. a&e you have made a big mistake.
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN A&E NETWORK. ALL SERIES HAVE UP AND DOWN TIMES, BUT THE GLADES JUST HAD A SMALL DROP IN RATINGS. WHAT IT ALSO HAD WAS DEVOTED FAN BASE, FOR MANY WHO CAN NOT AFFORD CABLE, SUCH AS MYSELF, I CAN ONLY WATCH SERIES THROUGH NETFLIX. WELL A&E HAS LOST YET ANOTHER DEVOTED FOLLOWER FOR THE CANCELATION OF A GREAT TV DRAMA, WITH COMEDY. I LOVED THIS SHOW, AND IF THEY WERE GOING TO CANCEL IT, OR EVEN THINK THEY MIGHT THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST ENDED IN WITH JIM AND CALLIE GETTING MARRIED, INSTEAD OF… Read more »
Really!!! After an ending like that it’s cancelled .. So disappointed.
Seriously disappointed AGAIN !!!! This is the SECOND show you guys have now cancelled that I love and definAtely need to complete 🙁 very sad it ended like this I do believe u lost another viewer and family 🙁 unless u bring back … Let me know
You lost another viewer A&E . The Glades was one of the best shows on A&E.At least TNT has been faithful to their viewers and brought back their summer lineup.
Seriously, I will think again before watching anything else on a&e! I am a single mom that works and goes to school so I can’t watch series unless I can get them on netflix. With little down time it took me awhile to get threw the series . After watching the last show while tryin not to cry I find out you cancelled the series! It’s hard to find a show that isn’t vulgar or a stupid reality series. Thanks for running something truley entertaining.
A&E lost a viewer. Networks continually dump shows and don’t consider their viewers.
The Glades had four seasons and you didn’t respect the viewers enough to give us at least a
movie finale if not a season 5. Kiss off A&E I will no longer be one of your viewers
I started watching the glades than my daughter and friends and y’all cancelled it that’s not right we have to know what happens y’all can’t cancel it now pleases bring it back it’s a great show . Don’t leave us hanging
I can’t believe that canceled the glade. Because they’re could have done one more season to show us the fans what happened to him and callow instead of ending it. Last is that they’re always do this the start a show and cancel it instead of going all the way like good tv producers wouldn’t do
I am a single working mom and when I got to watch season 4 on Netflix and found out there was no season 5 I was highly disappointed. I live in FL and love the show. I hope that there is a way to figure it out to where things are not just left the way they where.
REALLY?????? How dare you cancel Season 5 of “The Glades”……….Shame on you for treating everyone this way……Finally, a GREAT show with GREAT Characters And GREAT Actors playing the parts and you want to get rid of that and put “Crap” in its place……Come on Networks…..You finally found a winner show that everyone in the family can watch (no filth or vulgarity) and you get rid of it…..I guess this only shows us where the minds of our fellow country people are…..They prefer filth over good clean shows……Great Job……Very disgusted with television networks…..
I agree. I hate when they stop a season and then cancel a show. They need to find away to finish a show for the fans. I really am going to miss the show.
Finally was able to sit and watch the fourth season on Netflix and now find out it’s been cancelled. Very disappointed. I enjoy the show. I don’t always get to watch when it’s on reg tv time so I patiently wait for Netflix to stream. Somebody needs to figure something out so the fans can see what happens to Jim. Really think he and Callie deserve to be happy. Please bring it back at least for enough episodes to clear up the cliffhanger.
I must agree. I also am a single mom with young kids and have little time. I also have no tv (cable, etc) so I watch Netflix. I got hooked on this series and really enjoyed it because it was a drama but not scary for my kids to watch so we could watch together. Leaving the ending the way it was left is poor decision making on management part. We need to know what happened. We, as viewers, deserve to know what happened. Here’s hoping management listens, but not holding my breath.
