Putting politics aside, which many of you can't seem to do, I think that IF, in fact, CBS cancelled this show due to pressure from ANY political party or ideological movement, it is a sad and worrisome development.
If it can happen to this show, it can happen to any, and sooner or later, programming will be so non controversial that there will be less quality programming (not commenting on the quality of this particular program without seeing it) than there is presently.
Which is scary.

I agree completely - no matter what, networks can't be bowing to party pressure to control programming. It just doesn't work in a society such as ours, and it sets a dangerous precedent.
If CBS felt that unsure about the product to begin with, it never should have taken it on. Deciding not to air it because of the conservative response though? Not a good thing.
I'm not making a judgement on the production's quality, just trying to make a point as to the decision.
