Longmire was cancelled by A&E in the summer of 2014 (after 3 successful and critically acclaimed seasons), despite the show being A&E’s most-watched original series. It's believed that A&E’s Executives deemed the show's primary viewership (over 50’s) to be less appealing to advertisers. A bit silly, right!?

Two Great Tweets from the #LongLiveLongmire Campaign:

On Nov 4th 2014, Lou Diamond Phillips tweeted:

"Might be the time of year to 'Fall Back' but not for me or the posse! Full speed ahead with Faith and Optimism! #longmirelives".

On Nov 11th 2014, Lou Diamond Phillips tweeted:

"The thing about trends...they become mainstays with enough dedication. Way to go, Posse! You are inspirational! #NeedLongmire".

According to actor Zahn McClarnon (who portrayed Mathias on the show), “Longmire Was Saved by the Fans!!”

How can one show get 85,000 Signatures to save the entire show, and another get 75,000 Signatures just to get some deleted scenes put back into a show? In this episode we explore the contrasting fandoms of Disney's 'The Acolyte', and Netflix's 'Bridgerton'.

This is not yet another "Bash the Acolyte" podcast episode (those are boredom personified), instead we take a look at how quality programming energises a fandom in ways that middling programming does not.
