THE SHOW’S CANCELLATION

Drescher explained that when Mr. Sheffield and Fran Fine got together, it completely changed the show. The dynamic was different, because it wasn’t about Fran and the children she was supposed to care for anymore.
The “sexual rigidity” should have been kept out of the show, she said, because as soon as they got together, the intrigue of “will they or would possibly not they” used to be gone. This resulted in the audience getting bored.
