In Year Two there were a number of station and/or time period downgrades, which undoubtedly contributed to the ratings decline.

In Chicago, WCIU also carried the show (in primetime no less), but canceled it after the first season.

Announced before the first major sweeps period ended. Sad waste of airtime on stations this season.
