Not because it was controversial or too sexual, I guess it was that bad that the programming director said......."we not airing this crap". Looks like it wasnt a bad decision since it was cancelled 2 week later

Interesting.

The last episode of this show aired on the same day, same year that I was born.

Yeah.

It didn't seem like much of anyone had faith in it and probably for good reason.

The mistake was probably trying to air a show in the Sanford House without Fred and Lamont
