I'm a 27 yr old with a 2 yr old son. But every Monday night that wildfire is on we join my mother, 45 and my 17 yr old sister just to watch the show. It's a family event and afterwards we love to just sit around and talk about what happened and what may happen next. I've been watching the show from the very beginning. My son loves to watch and it's a show that I feel comfortable with him watching. It is the ONLY show I watch on ABC Family and unless Wildfire has a season 5 I will NOT be watching ABC Family anymore!! I too watch wildfire along with my family.

It's a wonderful show with great actors and intriguing story lines. ABC Family has made a huge mistake by removing its keystone. Wildfire is a show that I'm not afraid to watch with my kids, and I appreciate that immensely. As for Greek, I just don't see how ABC Family deems it as "family" programming. When did Disney get the idea for promoting keggers to kids? Good move there! ABC Family is not the place for Greek. Wildfire is great!

It's the ONLY show that I watch on ABC Family! It's an AMAZING show with GREAT story lines and the BEST cast I've ever seen on any show before! ABC Family needs to re think its cancellation and bring it back for a 5th season! No offense but ABC fmaily is supposed to be a FAMILY channel, Greek is NOT a family show! It's a show for teenagers, it needs to be on The CW with all the other teen shows! Wildfire is a family show, it's the ONLY show I can watch with my family! It's the best tv show ever!!!!!

It was wrong to cancel the best show of the network. I miss it so much already. I also like Kyle XY, and think Greek is okay, but if I could pick one show to ever see again for years to come it would be Wildfire every time. savewildfire.com GO WILDFIRE, SEASON 5!!!!

No parent is actually going to think that this is really what happens in college. The show is meant to be watched with a sense of humor, otherwise the dialogue wouldn't be so ridiculous. The dialogue isn't even realistic, and I think it's pretty clear that the premise isn't, either. Also, I watch this show not just because it is entertaining but because my mom watches it and we like to talk about it. She thinks it is hysterical. She also liked Rugrats back in the day. If you really think about it, there is a common theme here. I think it is absurd when people who are involved in the Greek system get offended by this show.

It is the main reason i watch Abc Family...i sometime watch the movies they air on there, but Wildfire deserves antoher season because that so called "Finale" that was supposed to "tie everything up" just left fans hungry for more. Wildfire deserves a 5th season. end of story. Yes i watch Wildfire.

My 7yr old also watches it. There aren't very many shows on TV that we both can sit down and watch together besides cartoons. Sex, drugs, violence and reality are plastered all over every network. Wildfire brought my attention to ABC Family and I thought it was a great family network. Until the cancelation of Wildfire when they jumped on the reality bandwagon with the Prom Queen! I want my children to grow up right and having a competition on TV about being a Prom Queen doesn't sit well with me. I think ABC Family has cut their own nose off by cancelling Wildfire-I won't be watching anymore! Yes I am 33 and I watch Wildfire. My 7yr old also watches it.
