I am devastated to report that The Best Years will not be returning.
On a Charity Shea (Samantha Best) fan site, she wrote to the webmaster and said:
"I was destroyed because we were picked up for 8 more [episodes]. but a new top executive decided to change things up and TBY was dropped. I believe, the N is reaching out to a younger audience now. The fans have been so supportive in protesting, but a lot of people are completely unaware and expecting the show to return this summer. I was going to write you, however I was distracted trying to figure this all out."
