Hello, Larry
Just because a show was a huge hit does not mean that anything tangentially related would do well. Take a look at this, which starred McLean Stevenson AKA Lt. Col. Henry Blake in M*A*S*H. This show features a radio talk show host who skips LA to move to Portland with his two daughters. The actor failed to get along with his coworkers, which was why the show was canceled after only two seasons on the air. Rolling Stone even said it went from “the great white hope to the butt of jokes.”

The Secret Diary Of Desmond Pfeiffer
Do you think that network executives will ever learn that there are certain things that should not be the theme of a sitcom? Slavery during pre-Civil War times sounds like a good example. This show focused on a black English noble who left England to run from gambling debts and works as a butler to Abraham Lincoln. The premise is even more preposterous because Lincoln was portrayed with stereotypical gay behavior, while the White House staff members were shown to be inept drunks. The NAACP protested the pilot episode, so we are not surprised to hear that it was pulled from the air after only 3 weeks.
