[QUOTE="tommie, post: 321647, member: 370"] Yep - and this is the bottom line ultimately. Networks largely don't care as long as it doesn't affect the profitability (look at Fox's programming in the early years - it all goes pretty much against everything Fox News delivers). Hell, if Ed Asner was the problem but the show was well-rated they might've solved it like ABC solved the Roseanne "problem". But the show being cancelled due to politics is a lot better story than "it rated sort-of mediocre and they decided it wasn't profitable enough". [/QUOTE]
