Cancelled after 1 season: http://deadline.com/2017/09/the-last...on-1202165509/

Another niche period show that no one watched, especially this forum.

Amazon seems to be getting rid of these shows that had little to no buzz.

It started?! Let alone ended?! I feel like you just started seeing promos for it.

Amazon Prime has to fix their interface. It's simple too clumsy to be convenient. I don't go there unless there's something there I know isn't on Netflix that I want to try. Doesn't help me learn about new stuff.

Wow, Kelsey Grammer sure has had a lot of failed series in recent years. After playing Frasier for twenty consecutive years, it must be a rude awaking.

Amazon, outside of the site, needs to learn how to market their programming better. Netflix floods social media when they want to promote their material. I have this show in queue and have not gotten to it yet.

Yup. I just have no motivation to watch any Amazon shows. The only one I've watched is Red Oaks. There are a few others I want to check out but just haven't. Their interface is lacking for sure.

Really didn't enjoy the pilot when this was originally on, so I'm surprised it was picked up to series. So I'm okay with it getting cancelled, especially if Bomer can move on to something else.

Not a good week to be a Fitzgerald show on Amazon.

Which is too bad because he is a great actor and I always enjoy watching him. I was interested in this show based solely on his being in it,. But I don't have Amazon for this type of thing. Guess that won't be a problem now...

He must really love acting because with his age and his megabucks made off of Cheers and Frasier, he could have easily semi-retired like Jack Nicholson.

I would imagine Sideshow Bob royalties are nothing to laugh at, either.
