I loved Longmire; so when in 2014, word filtered through that the Western thriller had been cancelled at the end of three seasons--yep, that was just wrong
I was shocked! So were a lot of other folks. I began watching this superb show because it wasn’t about housewives, or chef cook-offs, or a badly behaving bridezilla. Nope, Longmire was about a sheriff, his staff, family, and friends who lived in a small Wyoming town. The series is based on the books written by Craig Johnson.
Many articles came out addressing the demise. It seemed the viewer-ship was primarily the average age of 60 versus 48, that the "demographics" weren't there. What a crock!

And A&E didn't produce the show, they bought it and that meant less dollars for them. They could make more with a reality show (didn't I hear something about Prison Life? Seriously???)
But thanks to folks like the Longmire Posse...

The Longmire Posse organized. They tweeted constantly with even the actors becoming involved. They set up a Facebook page and everyone became involved. Hints of Netflix riding to the rescue floated to our ears.

And Lo and Behold, the rumors became real. Netflix picked up Longmire and the show continues. 
Handsome and I have been doling out episodes instead of binge watching. We want to make this last. 

Are you a Longmire fan? Have you been a fan of a show and it was cancelled with you wanting more?
