  1. Are you people crazy? Why would you cancel one of the best (correction: THE Best) Christian shows on television? If what you say about ‘Bringing up Bates’ as being (I quote) “A Rating Winner” , why would you want to lose it?
    I sincerely hope that you reconsider this! If not, I hope some other station will ‘pick it up’ !
    Thank you for any consideration you can give to my request!
    Sincerely, Shirley Kilmer

  2. It saddens me that yet another Christian, family show has been canceled. I looked forward to the Bates men marrying, grandbabies being born, etc.. I can only pray that another network will pick up the show.

  3. I really love the Bates family they are the best thing on tv. I think you are making a big mistake by taking them off the air. I enjoy watching the family grow with all the new babies and new engagements. So either they come back or I don’t need to watch your channel anymore. Thank you

  4. I would like an explanation as to why you would cancel a profitable show that encourages and even teaches by example people how to be better Christians, better humans. Can you help me understand? Thank you.

  5. I agree. Why cancel a great show that has so many fans.
    At least show the new filmed season before canceling it.
    I too hope another network picks it up. So refreshing to watch them.
    So much better than the Duggar family and their drama.
    Hope you will reconsider showing the new

  6. Why cancel the show? Because of their involvement with the Duggars?? Its not fair to punish the Bates family for what Josh did .
