Sources say the show was shelved over creative differences.
If successful, the telepic could result in more telepics, or an ongoing series. The drama, about a young rebel disenchanted by dreams of the French Revolution and the promises of the empire of Napoleon I, stars Carole Bouquet, Kim Rossi Stuart, Judith Godreche, and Claude Rich. It looks like the episode will give closure to their characters, with Dag getting his job guarding the President back, First Daughter Camilla getting accepted to Harvard, and Agent Cole making a tearful goodbye to Agent Pillows. Next week, 3rd ROCK FROM THE SUN returns to NBC's Tuesday night lineup for a handful of final episodes. The network has announced the show will officially end with its hour-long May 22nd episode, in which the aliens return home.
