## Premise

Set in the southern city of Savannah, Georgia, the show revolved around three female friends who are challenged by outside forces and each other.

## Why It Was Cancelled

Although the show was one of The WB's most successful programs during its first season, "Savannah" was cancelled at the end of its second season.

According to Garth Ancier (president of the WB's entertainment division), the show had a rough season creatively and attributed its cancellation to the fact that *"serial dramas don't repeat well, making the investment too expensive."*
Skin

**Skin** is an American television drama series created by Jim Leonard for Fox which aired from October 20, 2003 to November 3, 2003. In 2005, all eight episodes aired on the SOAPnet network.

The show followed two teenagers, Adam (who is the son of a Los Angeles district attorney) and Jewel (who is the daughter of a pornographer) who come from feuding families from opposite sides of the moral & legal spectrum.

## Why It Was Cancelled

Despite receiving an incredible amount of advertising, Fox cancelled "Skin" after three episodes aired due to poor ratings and reviews.

The show was reprived in 2005 when the SOAPnet network acquired broadcasting rights to all eight episodes and aired the last five episodes for the first time.
Newhart

**Newhart** is an American television sitcom series created by Barry Kemp for CBS which aired from 1982 to 1990.

## Premise

The series centered on author Dick Loudon and his wife, Joanna, who move from New York City to a small town in rural Vermont to run the Stratford Inn.

Near the end of the show's second season, Dick began hosting a low-rated talk show on the town's local TV station. As the show progressed, the episodes focused on Dick's TV show and the quirky townspeople.

## Why It Was Cancelled

The show was solid ratings winner and despite not finishing in the Top 30 for its last two seasons, Bob Newhart stated that CBS was satisfied enough with the ratings to renew "Newhart" for a ninth season.

However, Newhart (who was anxious to move on to other projects) declined the offer, promising CBS that he would develop a new series for the network (which he was under contract to do); this resulted in the 1992 series, "Bob".
Make It Pop

Make It Pop was a Canadian television series that aired on Nickolodeon from 2015-2016. Despite the show being a huge hit, the show was cancelled after 2 seasons due to the ratings dropping.

**PLOT**

The series follows high school girls who start a K-pop inspired band after being randomly selected as roommates, and along with the help from DJ Caleb they form the band XO-IQ while dealing with drama, romance, mischief, and trying to become superstars.

**IN-DEPTH REASON WHY IT WAS CANCELLED**

As we all know, Nickolodeon is quiet with cancellations, and they were VERY quiet with Make It Pop. The show had very mixed reviews, with some calling it one of Nickolodeon's best series, while others calling the show blatantly racist. The series had relatively high ratings compared to some other similar series, but after season 2 the ratings dropped, in my opinion not enough to cancel the show, but it was up to Nickolodeon, and they didn't think that it was enough to keep the series running, despite the ratings still being at a 6/10 on IMDB, and the viewer count taking only a 25,000 viewer drop, it wasn't enough to keep the show from getting cancelled.
Our House

**Our House** is an American television drama series created by James Lee Barrett for NBC which aired from 1986 to 1988.

## Premise

The series followed the Witherspoon family where retired widower Gus Witherspoon invites his widowed daughter-in-law, Jessie and her three kids (Kris, David and Molly) to live with him in California.

## Why It Was Cancelled

Although the show received positive reviews and had a promising star, "Our House" wasn't a ratings success (likely due to being scheduled on Sundays at 7:00pm opposite "60 Minutes" on CBS and numerous overruns of NFL games aired on NBC). After two seasons, NBC cancelled the series in 1988.

Despite the changes, the ratings continued to drop; also, at the time, "Rhoda" was going through a format change which may have also affected the ratings for "Phyllis." Both shows were moved to Sunday nights; although the ratings for "Rhoda" improved, the ratings for "Phyllis" continued faltering.

CAM 6

*CAM 6* is a location in Fredbear's Fright.

## Description

*CAM 6* functions as a display room for props collected from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza from *FNaF 2*. Props included Toy Chica's head, The Puppet's present box and face plates, along with multiple coloured balloons and pizza decorations. The props themselves seem to be mostly intact, if a little faded and worn. *CAM 6* connects to CAM 5 to the east and CAM 8 to the north. Interestingly, there seems to be a room between *CAM 6* and *CAM 8* which does not have a corresponding camera and is therefore never seen in game.

The only animatronic to begin in *CAM 6* is Fright, who appears here during Night 4 once 1 AM has passed. It is also common to see Scrapped Mousiki in *CAM 6* while he is active during Night 1 and Night 3, and will spend most of his time here when not attempting to break in to the Office.

## Trivia

* The Freddy Poster in *CAM 6* contains one of the two keys needed to access the Secret Ending.
