This show was supposed to be an anthology series where each season would tell a different story in a different region. So you can totally watch season 1 and pretend that it is a miniseries because the season 1 finale is very satisfying and it tied up all the loose ends.

You put the show on during the major sports events it was a good show try bringing it back when there are people to watch it without being drawn away by other factors.. maybe it will take off better I Loved it had a good concept who in Washington asked you to scrap it (Geez) Ha Ha... if placed it the right time slot would attract the right followers

I am convinced that the bugs got to the people that cancelled this show. Only someone with half a brain would cancel such a great show. I am with the others and hope a smarter network (one with whole brains) will pick this back up.

This show was the most just plain fun watching of any in recent memory... Was amazed to learn it wouldn't even get a season two.

Can we start a petition to bring this show back? Maybe Hulu or Netflix can pick it up? They seem to have better quality shows than the networks.

Surely you jest "???!!!" A really quirky and whacky program, full of surprising twists and turns, I cannot believe it was cancelled, hope you return it to tv!!!

It was the most logical and believable explanation for the idiots we have running the country. I loved every minute of this show. It is a pity that the network was so shortsighted to cancel this witty satire.

Please reconsider, we need to add some humor to the awful and frightening state of country's politics. Come on, the cherry trees are about to blossom!
