Although this sitcom was a huge success, each episode was very expensive. It may have seemed to be a simple show with no special effects and running on a small budget, but it was actually one of the most expensive TV shows in history.

Every episode of the TV series cost around $1 million. This may partly explain why the series was untimely canceled. Asides the operating expenses, there was also the lawsuit charges filed by people who took offense with the show. In all, the profit margin was not enough.
