I specifically remember the day they cancelled. The episode coming up was that day and it was going to be the President firing her Cabinet. I remember the promos for it and then it was cancelled the day it was going to air. I always thought they didn’t want to make Hillary look bad and it was pulled. Per Wikipedia: Episodes not shown… Read more »
Federal Way Blog » The show had several production issues so they never filmed more than 18. All of them aired and are on the DVD sets. Like most, the show was canned because of poor ratings. The series got off to a good start but ABC had to put it on hiatus, in part because of the production problems, and public interest waned. The show was cancelled in mid-May while it was on hiatus. It returned for the three final episodes on 5/31, 6/7, and 6/14. There was talk about bringing the show back for occasional movies but it… Read more »
