Longmire Series Shot Down by A&E Network
News that the popular Longmire cowboy detective series has been shot down by the A&E Network after the season three cliffhanger ending has not only puzzled fans but infuriated them. It is apparent to fans of the series that A&E would much rather produce reality television which costs much less to make than this popular scripted television show.
Reblogged this on My Voyage Through Time and commented:
Shot down Mike. Shot down. It’s cool though. Wasn’t meant to be. Hey…my husband’s name is Mike too…ironically. ~~~F
Not even the superior Firefly was saved by fan interference although they did help to get Serenity made…Reality TV is apparently much cheaper to make!
Figures … many good series have gone down the toilet.
It’s about money, of course.
I can only think of one series that was saved by customer reaction: Star Trek.
