CBS went to the wartime well again in 1973 with this comedy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll_Out) about (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/RollOut) a battalion of primarily African-American soldiers (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069622/) in France during World War II. As bad as the ratings were, that may not have been what got the show cancelled so quickly. It's not good when your lead and a supporting cast member were arrested during the show's brief run.
