This show was cancelled way before its time. It was well-written, smart, fact-paced, and topical (to pop culture), with a great emsemble cast that gelled really well. If it had been released in the late 2010s, I bet it'd still be around now, inspiring meme after meme. But back in the day ABC had a bad habit of canceling quality shows before they should've. It's still funny today, which speaks to the quality of the comedy.
