Your nuts! Everyone loves Troy and his boys. We love Liz and everyone but JR and John Paul. It’s their stupidity and repetitiveness that’s making the ratings go down. You really should re-think this.

Doreen says
Swamp People is one of the best shows on TV. WHY, cancel? Troy and his son’s are a delight to see. This show is better than all the stupid reality shows that seem to be on the rise on television. I am very sad the show will not continue.
Richard Allgood says
Swamp People is one of the best shows on History. They should reconsider as I am sure the fans will let them know how they feel.
mary says
You shouldn’t cancel this show. It’s great and my husband being from Louisiana really gets in to it.
Eileen Stultz says

Pauline says
Please do not cancel this great show. It is one of the best on TV.
Albert says
Please reconsider cancelling this show, it shows great family values and how they have to survive. I agree that there are cast members that do not belong on the show, they add no value such as John Paul and crew. I cannot see why this would happen considering its popularity. This is a very sad story to us the viewers,
For who made the decision on pulling the plug on this show, I hope it will cost you your job as well. I see all the support from the viewers, this is a true shame.
rita says
DO NOT CANCEL Swamp People, this is your best show on History Channel. Love Landrys, Elizabeth and Bruce.
rita says
If History Channel does not want this show, some other network need to jump right on top of it and we will watch your network
Mike says
This is stupid, a good show gets canceled when stupid ones get renewed. One of the best shows on TV and it gets canceled. I love this show along with Ice Road Truckers, and Mountain Men are the best!!!! You really need to reconsider and renew MOUNTAIN MEN!!!!! If you need to cancel a show then CANCEL ALONE, it is dumb.
Sharon says
I can’t believe that history channel is not renewing swamp people you need to keep that show on and some of the dumass show you need to takeoff the air we all enjoy watching SWAMP PEOPLE. What a SHAME !!!!!!
nicki says
U r very stupid to cancel Swamp People. This show is so much loved, it’s a great family show. U cancelled Mountain Men
History channel needs to be boycotted. U cancel great shows and renew dumb ass shows. REALLY???
Peggy Jackson says
You should leave this show on the air! No reason for cancelling, but this is an awesome show. It shows america’s indigenous people who are self sufficient and living off the land. There is such a different way of life in these swamps and we need to see History airing shows about it. I was so happy to see this show on the air, and watched it every chance I got. The people in this show are true americans at their best, spotlighting a bio-diverse life in the melting pot of this country! Please reconsider!
Tiffanie says
The history channel seriously needs to rethink this one. So many people love watching swamp people and am one of those that will not watch another thing on the history channel when the final show airs. This is total bs!!!
David faryna says
This is without a doubt the best show on tv and History Channel.Period.
Do not cancel this show and bring back the old cast while you`re at it!
Jim says
No cure for STUPID!!!!!!!1
Ron says
sorry to see them go. I know, how many times can you watch them catch an alligator, but the character are very interesting.
John Mayns says
Sorry to see the show go, the only upside is not having to watch the Molinere trash anymore. Sad part is not seeing good people like Troy and Family, Liz and Family etc..
Cant believe good shows like this go down and increasingly stupid shows like Axemen, and Ice Road Truckers which have deteriorated to unbelievably low levels of quality are still on TV.
Peggy says
No joke! John Paul and JR need to go. Don’t know why they ever hired these two. They are felons and should be in jail. I just wanted them to sink when they went into Troy’s territory tonight and what a big joke it was to be poaching on his area. John Paul and RJ and their “people” that they are always referring to should be cancelled but not the show. Troy, Junior, Glen, Elizabeth, Willie, Bruce and all of Troy’s kids and brother should be on and not cancelled.
David says
One of the best shows on the History channel.
Please reconsider!!!!!
George Ann says
Has there been a reconsideration on not cancelling Swamp People? This is one of my favorite shows.
1highhog says
I can’t believe the history channel is going to cancel such a good clean family show like Swamp People and keep some of the other crap they have on the air. This is one of the best shows on TV. The History Channel has two more shows I watch, but after canceling Swamp People, I may quit watching the History Channel altogether.
oldracer says
why cancel swamp people when keeping the druggies on pawn stars ?
Paul says
Absolute lunacy! Swamp people is one of the small minority of shows TV that are actually worth watching!!!
Deborah says
I’m sadden by you cancelling an family friendly program, what a mistake. The people of Swamp people The Landry’s and other’s are great people and will be missed.
DANNY says
THIS IS STUPID CANCELLING SWAMP.PEOPLE . ME ,BEING FROM NEW YORK CITY I LOVE TO HEAR THAT THE SWAMP PEOPLE KEEPIN UP OLD TRAIDATION AND MORTALS CARRYING THIS IS A STUPID DECISION AND SOMEONE SHOUD LOSS THEIR JOB FOR THIS.
Vonda says
There is practically nothing to watch anymore especially for us older people. Swamp People was one program that I had to watch every week because they ended up feeling like family. History Channel, you have truly made the wrong move by cancelling this show. Why not keep running what people like? Stupid, stupid move.
Veronica speiring says
I really love swamp people it is such a shame we shall see it no more. I I’ve in England so have to play catch up but always watch it.
Please re think.
