An unreleased John Amos series? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anybody know anything about a possibly unreleased John Amos comedy series called Onward and Upward? If I read someplace correctly, the show was supposed to be a continuation of MAude with Maude as a Congress woman. Bea Arthur quit, and the whole format of the show changed to Onward and Upard with John Amos. And then the show became Hangin' In with Bill Macy from Maude. That show only lasted four episodes. Does anybody know anything about this confusing story?

From what I know Amos never got started on the series and it was changed and aired as Hangin' In with Bill Macy. I'm not sure, but I find out the details.
