Gun Tweet of the Day: Top Shot Cancelled | The Truth About Guns
Didn't expect that. I thought it was getting good ratings.

I don't see how this gets cancelled, but Sons of Guns is still on the air!

I guess we're left with Swamp People and Ax Men, and all that HQ History Channel programming.


It was a little too much drama for me and not enough shooting, but still entertaining.

they were up against Justified, should have picked Monday night when NOTHING else is on...

I stopped watching it after the first season. have not seen an episode in a while. To much drama/reality TV for me. What I want to see is some shooting.

Duck Dynasty should be on your list on A&E (10pm Wednesdays). Pretty decent show and a really funny family.

Top Shot wasn't a show I HAD to watch because the constant crying is annoying.

Amen brother, mind boggling!

Actually is a very dismal comment on the mind of society in general.

I was very excited about the upcoming show with the tactical scenarios. I'm not happy it's leaving but a 3-season run may spur another similar show?

One-man army could have been cool but the format was off a bit. What's that marine sniper show called?

Sorry for the non-sequiturs.

Cheese.

Honestly after Michelle was voted off the blue team... I kinda lost intrest in this season

 

[Ryninger]

I had been DVR'ing it... Just fast forwarding to challenges and eliminations... 1 hr show cut down to 10 minutes.

"Top Guns" on H2 gives you that, but with "Top Shot" going away, TG will undoubtedly follow suit.

 

[Fordtough25]

Not picked back up yet for the next season looks like, I still watch it and enjoy most of it. Well I DVR it and then watch it anyways. Top guns is neat too.

Colby tweeted:
Let me be clear: #TopShot has NOT been cancelled. Ratings were strong last night & we need that continue in order to get green light on S5.

I like the show, I love the challenges, but I definatley agree, they need to be more careful on who they chose for the show. They first 2 seasons were fantastic, and they showed the people as people who had great personalities. With season 3 and 4, they're experimenting with the drama B.S., first with that douchey former SEAL, Jake, and now with Greg Little-Foot's Crying and bracelets and William not owning up to any mistake.

If they return to what made the show popular: Great non-douchey, non-crying, non-backstabing, but chrasimatic cast. Unique incredible challenges. I think it could survive many seasons. If they continue on the current formula, we will surely see the demise of Top Shot and probably Top Guns.

Just my

The drama and game-playing has been there since day one of season one, and is part and parcel of the show's formula. If you take the drama out of "Top Shot," you get "Top Guns".

Unique incredible challenges.

IMO, the challenges these last two seasons have been better than ever in terms of uniqueness, variety, difficulty and being visually interesting. Last season probably has a bit of an edge in that regard, but they both are head and shoulders over the first couple seasons. Ditto for the range of weapons used on the show.

More than likely they did not want another Englishman dominating the shooting games.

The bloke this year was a nice guy but not a badass like Iain. Watching him cycle the Enfield was darned cool when they did the mad minute competition.

I think you might be on to something here Kirk.

Hmm, I really liked Tuesday's episode. I've enjoyed a LOT of the weaponry and challenges this season too. The 4lb aluminum slug big cannon, the Enfield mad minute, the McMillan 1500 yard shot, the 10/22 gumball & trick shots... The slo-mo photography is the best of any gun show on the air too.
