He’s the maverick head of a special unit that hunts the city’s most dangerous criminals.

Telly’s Take
The ratings for Training Day were terrible right out of the gate and they haven’t gotten any better. The series had little chance of being renewed for a second season and now, with the unfortunate passing of Bill Paxton, I am sure it will end after 13 episodes.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Training Day TV show would be renewed for a second season? Are you sorry that this CBS show has been cancelled??
They could do so much with this show if CBS wants to continue it. Big Paxton fan so its a devastating loss and not much hope that it would have been renewed. But this is a chance to go in a new direction, what’s already done a prequel so to speak for a bit darker turn of things, like in the original movie. I can think of lots of good ideas, like replace Bill with the guy who murdered him, (the murder explains Frank’s absence) and have him be a dark character like Denzel was in the movie. He becomes… Read more »
Please do not cancel the show. Bill Paxton was such a great actor. Please let us watch the rest of the shows with him then ask Dennis Quaid or Kurt Russell to do it. They are the only ones good enough to take Bills place.
I am saddened by Bill Paxton’s death. I really LOVE this show and can’t imagine how they will exit his character, but I hope the show goes on! I started watching the show because I loved the movie and they were doing a great job . RIP Bill, we will miss you!
Please do not cancel it is a good show, don’t know who could replace Bill Paxton, maybe Dennis Quaid, or Kurt Russell but the show is too good to be
cancelled
I think this is a pretty good show it’s better than most on TV now n with the passing of Bill Paxton I really don’t think it would be hard to continue the show considering the shows about dirty cops there’s a lot of them so I’m sure he can be replaced. Call Denzel Washington lol. Please keep this she.
Yes I hope it is renewed. Paxton will be hard to replace but it can be done
To all that enjoy this and as one of my all time favorites we will miss you Bill. Role of a lifetime and we lose this amazing richly layered character Bill Paxton created on screen, shame. In his behalf I think we owe it to him to content with this series to see where it leads, it gold so far.
Kurt Russell would make great replacement for Bill. Give it a try. They always cancel the good shows, and let the bad shows to go on for years.
I like the show a lot which is why the ratings seem to be low because of all the young punks who seem to go for the stupid shows that some how last several seasons instead of a show with a likeable lead and cast with good action and humor
No one can replace Bill Paxton but the best character to try would be the guy who broke out of jail in the last episode and Paxton helped save his daughter and wife. That guy is just dark enough of a character yet had a good side to continue the series. He could help the partner find out who killed his father.
My boyfriend and I really really like this show, Training Day. We truly hope that CBS does NOT cancel it. As much as we loved Bill Paxton & he made the show, we still hope that CBS figures out a way to keep the show going. Bill Paxton would WANT it to continue in his HONOR. Please, CBS, keep this show going. It seems most all the GOOD shows end up getting cancelled. DON’T do that to Training Day too.
Found a really good show. The episodes are shot now let them roll. Please.
Bill was so excellent in this roll. Sad for his family and fans alike.
I loved the show, but I don’t think it will be the same without Bill Paxton. He was the only reason I started watching it.. Best of luck if they do decide to continue with it..
Hoping they will renew the show. It was fantastic and needs to be given a chance. Great character development.
This was my favorite new show! Hope they keep it going!
love the show keep it going cbs
