If you did not know Mama's Family ratings did not go down on ion, what happened was when a channel gets a show it recieves a contract and how long it will stay on that channel. In the Mama's Family case they did not renew the contract at the end of her contract so ion let it go.

That really stinks. I knew there were a bunch of us watching MF. Well maybe they will try and bring it back.

Mama's Family is part of the Warner Bros library deal with ION. AFIK, that deal has not expired.
