The show, which chronicles the adventures of a lifetime of the unlikely team, reached an average of 8 million total viewers and a 2.1 in the 18-49 demographic but dropped significantly for its finale. Reportedly, the series was initially canceled because of its dismal viewership. However, there is no concrete evident for that. Other sources claim that the series has a solid viewership and that the main reason for the cancellation had been financial.
Each episode takes place in a different time period, and as we know they revisit some of America’s most important historical event. Regardless whether it’s the Hindenburg explosion in 1937, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in 1865, or any event from the 2nd World War, each episode calls for an entirely new wardrobe. This is no small issue on a TV budget. In addition to that, they need an expert crew for every time period.
