Are there any shows that got abruptly cancelled because the government didn't like something they said or did?
Not because of the acting or even the political beliefs of the actors, but because something that was said in front of the camera offended a government agent who got the show axed.
A few Australian shows mentioned, but one that shamefully hot abruptly cancelled in the 90's was John Safran's
Master Chef / Media Tycoon, because a current affairs host Ray Martin couldn't take a touch of his own medicine and phoned up the ABC to have it pulled.
