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 stinks that good shows are being canceled.
Ray how do you know if there is no season five? And I’m so tired of tv exs thinking they know what is best for us and what we like they always cancel the good shows leaving us with crap like honey boo boo please get real. There are a few ways to get shows back or at least get movies to wrap things up. Serenity and Veronica Mars did it through kick start camps. It’s a web site to raise funds for projects.
you should bring the glades back i the the series they are the best . i love the cast it was sad how you leave the ending now everybody wants to know what happends to jim you should bring it back to finsh the season with happy and more fans
My husband and I watched all episodes and loved the show. Unfortunately we didn’t catch it on a&e even though we have direct tv. No wonder the ratings went down with so little advertisement. If you didn’t catch it in the first season it wasn’t pushed much. I enjoy the first 48 but many of a&es other shows we do not enjoy. What a horrible way to end a show. Won’t be spending endless hours watching any more a&e tv dramas for fear we are wasting our time.
I was very disappointed to hear about the cancellation after season four. With so few good TV shows on air, it’s always a shame when one such as this is cancelled. There are too many shows where foul language, sexual innuendo, and violence are used in excess to make up for bad writing poor plots and characters development. With so many companies like Netflix producing TV shows and movies there should be someone willing to pick up the series.
You have to bring it back. I have been intently watching this show as Iam bedridden and it has filled my hours waiting for the wedding. You have a lot crappier shows on that Don’t make sense. I think Jeff shot him because he wanted to get his mom and dad back together like teenagers are want to do. How about a movie to conclude everything so there is an ending. It is BS you left a it hang that way. Now there is no reason to watch A& E.
Not please with the cancellation. My hubby and I do not have regulAr TV so we get everything through Netflix and Vudu. We were looking buy season 5 from Vudu. The world is changing A and E. Get with the program.
So, Roy, thanks for the info. What’s a crowd got to do to get a decent show back on? Fund raise? A letter? Petition? We really got to support good shows that promote minorities. Doesn’t the government give grants for that? My humble opinion.
Ps. Can you divulge why the US Marshall shot Jim?
I think it was ray. There’s no way it isn’t but amc please please bring season 5
I think that it was a terrible idea to cancel this show. I just found it on Netflix and I was hooked only to be sadly disappointed. I really want it back it was one of very few good shows out there!!!!!!!!
How can they just end the show with Jim getting shot? There has to be a 5th season they can’t just leave it like this I’ve been hooked watching this on Netflix for the past few weeks only to just get disappointed at the end…
Actually it was the US marshall that shot Jim. Carlos gets to Jim and time and he is able to get him to into a hospital., Jims recovery is slow as he lapses into a coma……That’s all I can divulge for now.
It can’t end like that! Someone has to do something to get the show back! That’s not cool for it to just end like that! There is so much more that could happen!
Bring it back please
Our whole household watched The Glades & loved it. I can not believe it is canceled and you all left us hanging. Thanks A & E. The rest of your programming is just stupid “reality” NOT…shows. Don’t watch those !
i really want the glade back i cant believe it just ended like that OMG. I think Ray shot Jim because kally divorced him and know shes marrying Jim so its probably Ray
