 The show was a critical and commercial failure and was canceled by ABC after 11 episodes.Owing to the combination of its bizarre nature (a fusion of musical performances with serious police drama and dark humor) and its high-powered production talent, it became infamous as one of the biggest television failures of the 1990s.The series' final episode, which aired on December 26, 1990, concluded with the cast breaking character and joining crew members in performing a closing song.
