Jo Jo was killed by the same social system he was trying to change; a system that takes food, music, health and recreation programs from school children so that the wealthy corporate executives and stockholders can pay fewer taxes.

Hilariously fl humor ensured that audiences were polarized over the show, and occasionally contentious subject matter (Jo Jo gets an abortion at one point, without suffering repercussions) was presumably behind the show's cancellation after only two seasons.
In the first season, Bill nurses his damaged ego when the ratings drop, Wendy (Geena Davis, STUART LITTLE, in one of her first roles) is insulted when Bill insults a guest she has invited on the show, and Bill's estranged daughter turns up after a decade of separation.
