One episode of the medical drama will go unaired.
August 24, 2011
ABC has announced that the first-season finale of Combat Hospital has been moved up one week from September 13 to September 6. What this means for its fans is that one episode of the freshman medical drama will go unaired on the network.
The move also doesn't bode well for the future of the show - on US shores at least. Combat Hospital is a Canadian-produced series that also airs on Global Television in Canada. If ABC opts not to move forward with a second season of the show, it is quite possible that Global will pick it up.
A similar situation happened with drama The Listener, which NBC originally started airing for a Summer run in 2009, only to pull it from the schedule after a handful of episodes. The series continued on Canadian airwaves and was recently renewed for a third season.
As it stands, the future of Combat Hospital is unknown at this time, but ABC's decision to leave an episode of its first season on the shelf puts chances of a second one in serious doubt.

I don't understand what ABC's problem is. They have been canceling so many good shows lately including Combat Hospital, One Life to Live and All My Children and many more. I think what everyone needs to do is stop watching ABC all together and send in letters and emails and overflow their boxes with all the complaints and let them know that we are tired of them canceling all these shows that people really enjoy. There is enough reality shows and talk shows and cooking shows already on TV. They could have another station for those kind of shows, so if someone wants to watch them they can, but stop interrupting the shows we like to watch. I have already stopped watching any ABC shows since the cancellation of my shows and I know several others who have also. So start letting the network know how you fill and stop watching ABC altogether and maybe they will get the message that we are tired of the things they are doing. We have to stick together on this. We want our shows that we enjoy watching to be on.

How do we get these comments to ABC? This will be the 5th show that I have been interested in that will have been canceled in a year. I think if this show gets canceled, a boycott is in order. I'm so tired of this. You get into these shows and then they just disappear with no warning. I thought the general public decided what the general public wants to see? Are we not the general public?

Please don't cancel this show. It is one of the best shows that I have seen. Why do they cancel the good shows? Who rates these shows? Please someone pick up this show. It deserves to be seen.

Please dont get rid of this show I really enjoyed it and I watched every episode religiously Chicago Code is another really good show that has neem taken off the air after the first season. I donèt think its right these networks dont look at the facts before taking shows off the air. It's the public who watch these shows so we should have a say in what stays and what goes

If they dont bring it back it just shows how stupid they are and they like to air stupid reality shows that have no reality to them how stupid can you be.
Not saying

This was a really great show. I have been curious to when it was starting back. I think it would be a smart decision on ABC's behalf to bring it back. Is a great show. My whole family watches it. Please keep it going.
