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!?

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.
