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?
OMG, NOOOOO! We have been watching the Glade for all of the 4 seasons, and what do we get? A friggin cliffhanger? NOT GOOD!
A&E, PLEASE, give us a two hour series finale for The Glades!! Please! It’s only fair.
This is one of the best shows on TV and then you cancel it leaving a big cliffhanger. And then you have shows on that no one wants to see. TV has not had any good shows on and then we start to watch one that is good you take it off. Bring back the Glades it’s a great show.
At least give us a movie finale with his recovery and the wedding. And of course the capture of whomever shot him.
Please do a Season 5. It is ridiculous take this show of the air. It was very entertaining and fun to watch. You show some stupid reality show which make no sense and this show you take off. Think again!!!
No, no, no. This is no good . The guy is bleeding out ,on his wedding day ,in the house he bought for his wife to be has always dreamed about. Fox /A&E , u have enough great shows that bring u bank! I have lost 20% of my salary since 2008 , thanks to ******** like u who only think about ur bottom line ! U people in those boardrooms who decide what goes
and what doesn’t , own 80% of everything in the world ! Give us Season 5!
I love this show! I want season 5 too! I hate it when shows end that way. One more season to find his shooter, marry them and he can retire! End the show there instead of his bride being left at the alter and he’s bleeding to death in the new house. We as fans deserve a ending not a cliffhanger leaving it open when plans to put a season 5 out was stopped 🙁 not happy at all
There have been several really good TV series that just END- get cancelled, with no closure or real ending – I absolutely loved this show The Glades, and to not have a Final Season? How is it that we have all these TV “Reality ” TV shows with people who have absolutely NO TALENT, yet their shows stay on season after season? Ridiculous
What are you people thinking of not letting the devoted fans of The Glades see if Jim lived and if he and Callie ever got married. After all they been through to finally be together this is ******** I’m tired of networks ending shows like this you people have a lot of nerves no brains of course. I hate it when you do stupid ass **** like this. I’m mad as hell I have been waiting for Season 5 so that I could find out what happened.
Ridiculous to leave the fans hanging with no closure to the show. There needs to be a 5th season!
What!!! I just finished the season and you can’t even give us a good ending!!! Horrible people!!!
I loved this show please do season 5
Are you kidding me? Don’t do this!!!!
Are you ******* kidding me no season five the series was kickin im sorry about the language but im pissed
Come on A & E. Who’s in charge there? I’m through with you. I will do all that I can to discourage my friends and family from ever watching anything on your stupid channel. This isn’t the first time you’ve left loyal supporters hanging. at least you could have finished the show with a decent finale.
Say it isn’t so, The Glades was one of the BEST shows on television. Why is it that the shows that have great writers and great characters and great actors are always the ones that get cancelled. BRING BACK “THE GLADES”
