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?
I think it was Callie”s so called best friend from Atlanta that tried to kill Jim . She was jealous of Callie and Jim I think A &E should at least ve fansoe last episodefor closure.
I think it was carlys x that shot jim
Well, I was recommended to watch the show on Netflix, which I did. Just finished all four seasons and enjoyed the entertainment value. Best cliff hanger of all was this last season ender–not expecting it AT ALL, which is what I like about a show. I can see how, over the seasons, each episode used a very predictable formula as far as how each murder was treated and how Jim accused and took into custody each and every suspect, no matter what they were doing at the time of the arrest (who ALL would lie and withhold information until he… Read more »
Works for me. I will just imagine that as the actual ending until/unless any actual closure is reached by someone creating a real episode.
My only problem with all that is that Jim had to have seen the shooter so, unless the shooter was disguised, Jim would have to know who it was or at least have some idea about his/her description.
It really is disappointing to have a great show like The Glades be cancelled and with a cliff hanger like they left us on! I agree that there should at least give the fans some closer if they won’t bring the show back, which I would really like to happen!!
Why would you cancel a great show ? There are way too many reality shows as it is? So why cancel a show that people enjoy and especially after a cliff hanger. You could at least make a movie special to end it .
How can you cancel with everyone left hanging very frustrating
What the hell, at least let us know what happened to Jim and Cally after the Cliff Hanger you left us with. I am not watching A&E anymore.
I am sure you will have many more negative reactions.
very disappointed to find the show was cancelled-was looking forward to the new season. would be nice if a final episode could be done when a show gets cancelled. Jim and Callie and their fans deserve closure.
bring back glades it would be a bummer not knowing what happen
This is ridiculous. A & E should have filmed an ending to the series so we all knew what happened to Jim (his recovery and who shot him) and their marriage. They owed this to the viewers of the show. Apparently A&E doesn’t care about their viewers.
Maybe we all SHOULD STOP WATCHING A&E altogether!
A&E had become a real disappointment… Won’t be watching ANYTHING but Longmire.
so long to substandard station.
until the screw us over on Longmire
My wife and I very much enjoyed watching this show it brought class to television with a sense of comedy as well. Always kept us guessing with each case, also for a show that took place on an island with an abundance of females the filming was done very tastefull in our point of view you don’t find that any longer in todays television. The last season we feel was the best season done with the best acting of all the actors and actresses. We will be sorry to see it end. Thank you.
It’s Firefly all over again. Just cuz a few people didn’t watch didn’t mean that they didn’t have diehard fans! At least create a movie and end the show.
Please don’t end it this way
I’m with Short Change, I am so disappointed and will not be watching A& E so much any more. What a bummer.
Why do you cancel a show that is as good as the glades!!! I do not like all of the reality shows on TV and this one was good!! And I would like it back !!!
