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?
Sad the show is cancelled. Watched last episode last night of Season 4 and disgusted to learn the show was cancelled. I hope you reconsider and bring it back.
Even my 6 and 7 yr old loved the glades and with all the filth on TV now, this was something we could all watch. I found it on Netflix. I really liked it. Its so hard to find good TV
I don’t get TV executives. They can put out shows like storage wars, Longmire, honey boo boo, gator wars and other crappy shows and seemingly be proud of them, but cancel The Glades. I know it’s all about the money, but surely you saw the show gaining momentum? The Glades was quirky, fun, intriguing and full of little twists and turns that kept us interested and wanting to know more. I thought the chemistry of the actors was “right on” from the start. The show was just “cutting its teeth”! Yes…it was a show that took it’s time to develop… Read more »
I agree with Sharon. We loved Glades. I was clean, humorus, had a story line.
I am very disappointed in A&E for not renewing.
Just finished watching the last episode of the glade on Netflix
It took a while to warm up to the show
After a few episodes I was a true fan
Sorry and sad to hear it’s cancelled and how it ended
An alternative ending should have been in the can just in case of a cancellation so
Not to leave fans up in the mists and wondering.
I WANT MY GLADES! YOU CAN’T CANCEL A SHOW WITH THAT! C’MON ONE MORE SEASON A LITTLE ITTY BITTY SHORT ONE TO FINISH IT OFF ON A GOOD NOTE AT LEAST!
So so sucks. A&E needs to at least give a wrap up of how everything ended.
Okay so A&E stinks in every way…Longmire and the Glades? Apparently they have no loyalty to fans.
A & E
Really sucks big time, they’re too busy with there fake scripted so called reality shows like Storage Wars. The A&E network isn’t worth watching. Bring back the Glades !!
A&E sucks for not finishing off the series they should get banned from network tv period
Last episode sucked. If they were going to end the series they should have ended it on a happy note. To kill of Jim was stupid. Either the ex husband killed him or the federal marshall who probably wasn’t a marshall
Maybe even ex-mother-in-law? That federal dude felt weird all along…
How could the producers of this great show let it end with the shooting of Jim? There is way too much to be resolved here; certainly enough for a continuation of episodes. I thoroughly enjoyed the cleverness of the detective work and the interplay between characters. Please find a home for a belated season 5!
Great series, like Bones with a bit of CSI Miami.. If you missed it, take the time to watch it. Jim and Callie are really cute. Enjoy the changes in direction this show likes to toss in, but beware of the cliffhanger ending. A& E did a big injustice to the viewers by ending this series.. Sure wish FOX, ABC, NBC or CBS would pick this one up. Could be another CSI or NCIS or BONES series. Why kill a series with such potential? IF a major network instead of a cable network had it would not be over. I… Read more »
The people in charge of the glades could have made a few more episodes just to clear up what happened and still had him alive and get married. Darn shame In my view it was a good series and should be brought back
I just started watching the glades a week ago and have watched all four seasons in two weeks. I Didn’t realize it was canceled. I’m very disappointed there is no season five. They could have at least ended it properly. Not just leave you hanging! I would like a happy ending.
loved this show why cancel it this always happens I get watching a good show than pow they cancel it getting so I don’t want to watch TV anymore
I love the glades it was a great show. I wish it would come back on
Loved the show so sorry it is cancelled. I didn’t think Jim and Callie were a good couple; something didn’t click between them for me.
Sorry the show is cancelled. It is one of my favorites. I really am not a fan of Jim and Callie. Actually, not a fan of Callie’s.
