Cane: CBS
"Let’s be clear here: "Cane" is not a bad show, and it’s sporadically a good one. Merely, great expectations have not been met." (Newsday) "Cane, set in the sugar fields of Palm Beach County, is designed with the hope it can be the next Dallas, which anchored the network for more than a decade. If Cane doesn’t attain this goal, it won’t be for lack of network support or funds." (South Florida Sun-Sentinel) "CBS’s “Cane” has sex, rum and salsa and still manages to be plodding…. “Cane” is deadly earnest, making it kind of funny despite itself…..Clashing clans are a device that dates back to the days of “Dallas” and “Dynasty.” The main distinction is that the Duques are Hispanic, first- and second-generation Cubans who speak snatches of Spanish to one another, words that are dutifully translated in subtitles. Unfortunately, there are no J. R.’s in sight on “Cane,”
“Cane” could use less sugar and more spice. (New York Times) "Cane" is in most respects a class act, albeit one whose energy so far derives largely from a real star turn by Jimmy Smits.
Smits plays Alex Vega, the not-quite-adopted "son" of Pancho Duque (Hector Elizondo), a South Florida sugar-and-rum magnate….
Frank sees the future in rum, while Alex looks toward an emerging market in sugar-based ethanol — you weren’t expecting ethanol, were you? And so there is a little bit of Cain and Abel in it as well: the father favoring one son’s fruits of the fields over the other’s spirits in the bottle." (LA Times) "Tonight is the premiere of a very good, new serial family drama, "Cane," which has been called everything from a modern-day "Dynasty" or "Dallas" to a Cuban-American "The Sopranos." Let me be the first to disagree. "Cane" is much less. And much more." (NY Post) "With "The Unit" as a lead-in, this series created by Cynthia Cidre ("The Mambo Kings") seemingly has an opportunity to get noticed, with the necessary disclaimer that such serialized fare has proven extremely fragile — especially on a network so strongly associated with procedurals that it might be extra difficult to raise "Cane." (Variety) "At times it has the pacing of a telenovela - which wouldn’t be so awful if it were on five nights a week. For a one-hour show (presented Tuesday night with limited commercial interruptions), the endless shots of couples stepping to a Latin beat are better suited for “Dancing with the Stars.” There’s not enough sugar in “Cane” to keep you coming back." (Boston Herald) "One of TV’s all-too-frequent attempts to pass off a moldy idea as a fresh new concept, Cane takes your standard-issue family-dynasty soap and tries to give it a Cuban spin —Dallas by way of Little Havana. Latinos of all stripes are absurdly underserved by network TV, but surely they deserve a more potent cocktail than Cane." (USA Today)

Missing Good Shows commented:
I can't believe networks cancel good shows when they have one, only to put one four versions of the same silly show they already have or more reality. PLEASE consider returning a great show like this or AT LEAST give us a proper finale.

I love this show!!!! Please bring it back and bring back all the same actors!!!! They are a great group of actors and Do Not kill off Hector Elizondo, he the glue of the family. And I agree that we DON,T need all those CSI shows, one or two is enough!!!
Rod commented:
CANE is so much better than any show you have ever brought back cbs I mean Jericho sucked from the begining and you brought them back bring back CANE
Joe commented:
Why does cbs have 5 shows the same CSI I mean cancel one of the five and bring back the best show CANE Its that simple
pissed commented:
I hate CBS for canceling the show.. When you have something good keep it!! Does CBS really think that all the reality shows are going to keep them alive?? Be Real!!
E commented:
THE BEST SHOW ON TV...VERY UPSET....F-CBS
Mrs. Riggs commented:
I'm so disappointed with CBS everytime they put on a new show I enjoy. They get rid of it. This show was a gem. Due to the writers strike and its time slot, it never had a chance. CBS you blew it. You should bring this show back.
lupe commented:
i am really upset that they did not bring back cane. me and my husband watched this show every week. i loved jimmy smits and the fact that it was a primarly lation family. how could they cancel the show i know of several people where i work who would watch the show and we would come the next day to talk about what happened on the show.
Cyndi commented:
Is there a ligit reason for Cane being cancelled? (or was it???) What is the deal here? Ya start something then leave me (us) hanging. COMMON COURTESY would have been to let the viewers KNOW it wasn't coming back!! UGH! The ONLY reason I watched network TV was for this show and the CSI series.
Lost without Cane commented:
BRING THIS SHOW BACK
steph commented:
OH NO - Say it ain't so! I LOVED this show!
loving Cane commented:
I am an african american whose entire family including parents and grandparents would all get together each week to watch cane. it is a shame that an excellent show that has a cast other than the same white actors we see everyday, is being cancelled. why do the exceutives think that a show is not a hit if it doesn't have an ALL white cast.
Angela commented:
Its one of the best shows!!! CBS should get rid of the othersbut not this one. I hope another network picks it up if CBS screws it up.
JULIEH38 commented:

Cindy commented:
Tuesday nights there was not much to watch. Then came Shark and Cane. Loved them both and now I am back to watching nothing. Why do all the good shows get cancelled. I guess it will be USA, TBS or some other cable network.
pete cane fan commented:

glj commented:
I CANNOT BELIEVE IT WAS CANCELLED!
My entire family watched it and didn't miss an episode. Another network will pick it up. I have hopes!
Cain fan connie commented:
CBS has done it again. They have let all the reality take over. What about just plain good tv? Cain..... Never missed an episode. Got all my friends turned on to it. I sure hope some other network is smart enough to pick it up..... Come on USA or Fox or somebody get with it.....
Neal commented:
Please bring back Cane, CBS! Cane was my favorite show! It was one of the few shows, and I mean FEW, on network TV that was worth watching. PLEASE!
danny commented:
cane was an excellent show and should come back
Jennifer commented:
My mother and I really enjoyed watching Cane...it was one of the few shows that we watched on television. We would jump for joy if CBS would bring this show back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jodee17 commented:
WTF, Cane was awesome, I cannot beleive you cancelled it. Cancel some of those stupid reality shows instead! You guys made a big mistake!CBS sucks!
rubyb commented:
I can't believe CBS is cancelling Cane and the The Unit ... finally, TV worth watching but no - lets get more reality tv or a few more versions of CSI ... please, network TV is quickly turning into a joke - and a really bad one at that.
cane commented:

Pleas bring it bakc or i may not wtch CBS again
cgs commented:
LISTEN! Everyone go to google and type in CBS feedback, click on the link to post your comments directly to CBS and ask them to bring back Cane! It's been done before due to public outcry! Jimmy Smits is just too cute to keep off TV!
Phyllis commented:
What a shame!! Best show in a long time great acting too. Wise up CBS not everyone wants reality shows. Bing CANE back!!
ht commented:
Cane is CANCELLED! It's not on the fall schedule. People - quit watching network tv - they don't give shows a chance and only the mediocre survives. It's not worth investing time on shows that soap powder manufacturers decide are advertiser viable.
LasVegan commented:
If CBS doesn't pick it back up...I REALLY HOPE a cable network will. This is the BEST show thats been on since Sopranos! PLEASE!!!
Karamiia commented:
How can CBS keep a stupid show like shark and cancel the show Cane, please listen to the viewers and bring Cane back. I looked forward to Tuesday nights. I have never watched shark and dont plan on it.

Frances commented:
Cane was finally a worthy drama to watch, while I love CSI, I love a good drama more. I love the family scenes especially. Please don't let this great show be cancelled.
Becca commented:
What is up with this show? My co-workers and I keep hoping for good news about it. CBS needs to get a clue. This is an original show with a great cast. Smits will ALWAYS bring in viewers if the show is taken care of and promoted well. I agree with others who think another network or cable should jump on this if CBS doesn't.
doug commented:
bring back cane my wife is not happy please help me. she loves jimmy and the whole show i can not even talk. thanks and please consider my situation.
linda commented:

D.Wheeler commented:
This is amazing how a show can be this good and not be on TV this show is so Awesome I'm hoping that HBO or Showtime will pick it up this show is a winner I watched the first episode and was hooked I check cbs every week to see about Cane coming back.
susie in nc commented:
PLEASE BRING BACK CANE!!! I'VE MISSED MY FAVORITE TV SHOW, LISTEN TO YOUR VIEWERS CBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Teresa in Houston commented:
WE WANT CANE!
JIMMY SMITTS GREAT ACTOR!

Jenny from production commented:
Rumor has been going around the show will be canceled. Sorry!!
Holly and Tony commented:
Please bring Cane back. We loved everything about it, the actors, the suspenseful script, the lush photography. We've been watching for it's return.
Stephamie commented:
I agree with everyone. Please, bring back Cane!
micela commented:
CBS should let everyone know one way or another about the status of Cane. Enough already!
suzieq commented:
Cane is one of our favorite shows and we hope it will be returning soon to the cbs lineup.
Rachael commented:
Please bring CANE back! It was a great show. My family and I never missed an episode. We even recorded each episode and shared with family and friends. I've emailed CBS and haven't gotten any response from them. The executives from CBS should at least give a response as whether or not it will bring Cane back!!!! I will not watch CBS until Cane returns.
Jeff commented:
Cane was and is a great show with a talented cast. Give it another season to burn in. Very hi buzz and it was better than the Sopranos. Big mistake CBS if you do not put this show on in the fall.
Denice commented:
An awsome show! Miss not watching it. Hope this comes back on the air.
Bruce commented:
Cane was one of my favorite series and I don't understand why it would be cancelled. I don't get it!?????
CANE:CBS commented:
Love the show, please bring it BACK!!
Chastity commented:
Seriously? Finally something worth watching. Reality TV is such a joke...isn't anyone else tired yet? I LOVE CANE... I never missed a show...we finally had a scenario where the latinos in the show weren't supporting actors or the local drug addict or dealer. Yes Alex was involved with less than legal business dealings but still, the show had HEART and if CBS has any sense they would bring the show back.
Margarita Mika commented:
Tell me the truth - is Cane cancelled or not?? What a shame if it is.
California commented:
I have been waiting patiently for the strike to be over, so i can watch this show. Desperate Housewives is back.. that is ABC... how about CBS.. you have also cancelled Cashmere mafia. CBS is not giving the shows enough time. I enjoyed both shows.. HIATUS... I WILL NOT AND NEVER WATCH SURVIVOR... You need to bring back shows for Adults to enjoy Primetime 10PM was perfect everyone in bed, and we can watch and enjoy... CANE... CANE...CANE...What a nice change a hispanic family compared to the 80's Dallas, Knots Landing... etc... this is different, and goes with the time.... CBS MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT AND DON'T KEEP OTHERS HANGING..
Mendez commented:
Cane was the best thing that happened to CBS -
Bring it back and earn a new family...
shawnsprtn commented:
BRING BACK CANE!!!!!
retired commented:
My husband and I are retired and really enjoyed Cane. Please make a announcement as to when we can expect its return. Miss the Show ......
funnygirl commented:
I really want an update from CBS. Why are they not giving us a status update. We want the show back!
lloyd commented:

dee commented:

jhoneal1 commented:
one of the best shows on tv this is what cbs needed. if they would cancel 1 of the csi that no one like (new york) maybe they could find an answer to there so called money problems. look everybody i have talked to loves this show, where are they getting there poles from. the new dallas! WHAT A SHAM! PUT IT BACK ON!
Les commented:
I just finished watching all 13 episodes in 5 days (gotta love Tivo) and I agree that it's one of the best new shows I've seen...it would be a shame if it didn't come back in the fall. But unfortunately, it's usually all about ratings, which, in turn, are all about time slot.
Sharon commented:
The best show I've seen in a long time. I certainly hope it's coming back. Please do not cancel this show.
Bonnie commented:
Please bring CAIN back. The first show in years my husband and I enjoy together. It is fast-paced, well acted and leaves you waiting for the next episode. Bravo CBS for great entertainment!
AnnieMae commented:
I also told about 40 people about the show and most of them got a chance to watch and some even recorded it.
DO NOT CANCEL SHOW !!! It would be great it came on at 8:00 eastern time... just bring it back !!!
AnnieMae commented:
YES,I loved CANE, it was the best new show on for the new fall season of "07. I enjoyed every episode. PLEASE bring the show back on, we need a good interesting show w/ great music and a different cultural background. My family also agrees.
frank commented:
THIS IS THE BEST SHOW ON TV...HANDS DOWN. I MUST HAVE BROUGHT 100 MORE VIEWERS ON BY THE END OF THE SEASON AND WHAT NOW??!! THIS SHOW, THE OFFICE, AND ENTOURAGE ARE THE ONLY GOOD SHOWS THAT TV HAS.
Sharon commented:
I love this show. Do not cancel it. It is one of my "don't miss" shows.
eduardin commented:
Bring Cane back! It was a damn good show.
annie commented:
CBS listen to your viewers. We enjoy quality t.v!!!
GUEST29 commented:
I heard just the other day that it may be cancelled. A lady here at work has a brother that works for the studio and work on that production, she was told it was done. I certainly hope that is wrong information, I've already emailed CBS television. I hope they give it another chance. We have to not give up on it. But thanks to a ridiculous strike (gotta love unions) the public is once again hosed.. Feel for all those production that had to be shutdown. I guess the writers didn't care about those studio employee who have a day job and had to support there families while their employers lost money.
ana commented:
GREAT SHOW. BEST I EVER SEEN. WHEN DOES THE NEW SEASON START??
cane commented:
Is Cane coming back in the new season please let us know CBS.....?????
Canelvr commented:
Cane has not been cancelled. Both Shark and Cain remiain on hiatus to provide room for three other shows mid-season launch, according to the CBS Express Website.
Sunny commented:
I don't understand why CBS hasn't let us know what is going on with CANE! So many people have expressed how much they like the show and want it back...is anyone at CBS listening??? I agree to one of the comments posted earlier...it doesn't matter how many shows CBS cancels, I'm not watching Survivor! And what is up with 3 CSI's? Why don't you cancel one of those and bring back Cane at a better time?
Still waiting to hear something!
Brandylynn commented:
BRING CANE BACK!! What happened to what the people want?? we want CANE back
Brandylynn commented:
PLEASE bring Cane back, that was one of the best shows with great talent! I looked forward to watching it EVERY week - never missed an episode. I wanna know what happens. Talk about a cliffhanger! :-(

PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL CANE!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!! THE ENTIRE CAST IS VERY TALENTED!!!!!
EclectusFan commented:
I will be extremely disappointed if Cain has been cancelled. In a sea of reality TV and copy-cat crime dramas, CBS finally gave us a show worth watching. Come on CBS execs...do you really want to take that away from us and send us back to other networks?? BRING CANE BACK!!!!
Cane:CBS commented:
Dose anyone know if Cane is canceled????? I hope not I love this show bring Cane back.......
Di commented:
I really enjoyed CAIN and looked forward to every episode. If this show has been canceled I'm not watching local TV anymore. Don't keep us in suspese let us know if it has been canceled.
Michele commented:
CBS, are you LISTENING????????
If the numbers arent high enough for the suits, then how about trying it in another time slot or something??? Finally something good on TV, I should have known it wouldnt last.
Cancel as many shows as you want, I still wont be tuning in to SURVIVOR!!!!!!
Natalie commented:
It was the boss show. You guys should listen to the viewers and bring it back.
SunnySara commented:
It was the one show me and my boyfriend watched together AND agreed it was good. I hope it's not cancelled!

I love the show and never missed an episode. I am pissed that it hasn't been back on. I want to know if its been cancelled because I will raise hell!
