Longmire **Cancelled**

[Rule3]

Lets see. It says quote:

Longmire, A&E Network's most-watched original drama series of all time, will be ending its run on the cable network after three seasons.

Now that makes no sense at all

Great show!

I like Glades also, they canned that!

This is just sad. I liked both Longmire and Glades. Hopefully somme other network picks both shows up.

I watched it for one season and liked it. I also watched Justified for one season. Literally the only 2 things I watched all year. We cut our dish but we can still buy a season and stream it through a WiFi connection. Might just have to do that when the weather turns.

Longmire:

Interesting setting.

Interesting characters.

Really bad screenwriting.

I watched a season-and-a-half on Netflix before I finally told my wife I'd rather sort brass.

Sigh, first Copper canceled; then Ripper Street canceled and now Longmire. Big Sigh, hopefully some other network will pick it up.

I watched season one and then read the books. That killed the series for me. They had a good thing going in season one but blew it after that. They missed out on the tone of the books. The TV show got way too dramatic lost the humor of the books. I won't miss it.

A&E is becoming the upscale version of True TV network. Can't keep a decent scripted drama, its viewers bring too much brain power the network and the advertisers know these viewers won't buy the garbage pushed in the commercials!

No Longmire!
Guess its time to drop the A&E app of my tablet.

I tried to watch this series, but could not get into it even a little bit. Which is true of most crime drama series I've tried to watch. They are all so full of contrived situations that they are all but unbelievable. In every one of these shows it seems that a close friend or family member of one of the stars is somehow involved in a crime. Yet, no one is told to recuse themselves from the investigation. Nope, they just go ahead and investigate the crime where their close family member is either a victim or a suspect.

Again, not limited to this show, it seems like most of them do the same thing.

I have been watching season one on netflix. It is not nearly as good as the books, but I keep watching because I liked the books so much. The predictable plots and hammy acting are harder for my wife to tolerate because she doesn't know the books.

 

[chaparrito]

We love Longmire. I bet it gets picked up somewhere. It was clearly a money maker.

Me too. I watched the very first episode, and haven't gone back. I found it very shallow......

If it was a money maker it likely wouldn't have been cancelled.

Bummer! We really enjoyed it here along with one of my co-workers. It was a nice change from all the fast paced-high tech-action packed stuff normally on. We'll be hoping it shows up elsewhere.

 

[blujax01]

Too bad...I enjoyed it. Must have been too expensive to produce OR some of the stars wanted big raises.

Neither.

It seems that the show appealed to the wrong demographic. They are looking for younger viewers - you know, the ones who spend their parents money on goofy stuff? Since us "over 50's" hang onto our money, we don't pay attention to the ads that sell the goofy stuff so those folks selling goofy stuff don't take out commercials on Longmire.

Ain't no money in catering to old folks...

We don't get A&E, but just started watching season 2 on Netflicks. It's one of my favorite shows. Hope Netflicks doesn't take too long before they pick up season 3!

 

[Steely Dan]

From what I have read, A&E wants more in house "non-scripted" programing. The dumped "The Glades" for the same reason. The producers of Longmire are shopping it around for a new network.

Which means more idiotic "reality tv"

Most likely making fun of southerners

I don't know something like "Hillbilly TrailerPark Bigfoot Hunters Gone Wild!!"

Yeah, that will do it......

Ding, Ding, Ding, we have a winner I read another article that said that "non scripted" TV is cheap to make, and you can vomit them out (my words).

You don't need a team of writers, you don't need trained actors. People will trip over themselves to be on TV. So even if fewer people watch, the profit's higher.
