Combat Hospital - Completely cancelled despite being a hit in Canada
16 Dec 2011
Cancelled ShowsCombat Hospital was a monster hit in Canada. The big budget, Toronto-lensed co-production's failure to break through south of the border on ABC has apparently doomed the series. No major U.S. partner stepped in after ABC walked to help defray the costs of a second season.
Combat Hospital was co-produced by Shaw Media whose current scripted productions include Lost Girl,Rookie Blue,Bomb Girls,XIII: The Series,King,Titanic,The Firm,Haven, World Without End and Out of Time.

stupid i liked this show!
ReplyDeleteFor me it was a good show to watch in the summer,it reminded me of China Beach and if i am not mistaken that also ran on ABC. It was so log ago it could of run on any channel?
ReplyDeleteThat sucks i loved that show. Flashpoint has survived despite not being a hit in the US same with Rookie Blue i was hoping Combat Hospital would do the same
ReplyDeleteflashpoint isnt produced by CBS it was only licenced CBS never payed for production it just bought the rights to air, ABC still pays for rookie blue
ReplyDeleteI am sad about this. I actually liked watching this show over the summer. It also reminded me of China Beach, which did air on ABC during its day, and I loved that show as well. Good cast here with great episodes every week. I was invested in the characters and this show, and I was hoping for a second season this summer.
ReplyDeletethat wasn't a good choice. the show was awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised. After ABC pulled out I figured this might happen despite it's popularity in Canada, which was a bit surprising anyway considering how bland the series was.
ReplyDeleteIs it really that big of a hit? I like here in Canada and have never seen any commercials or even heard of it...?!!
ReplyDeletenow we can see more of Catherin in H50! ((-;
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that good....no GREAT....Canadian television has to bow down to the Americans. It's disgusting that we can't enjoy a show and see it come back for another season just because theyricans don't like it as much. All they seem to be interested in is stupid and ridiculous reality shows. I mean, come on... the housewives shows?? Crap is what I say most of them are! Again, great Canadian drama falls to the almighty American Dollar.
ReplyDeleteA great show
ReplyDeleteSo to see the Canadian flag waved!
