Very interesting. Some of us have other views on the real story behind the cancellation of DS--we've gone over that so many times here that I'm sure the threads could be easily found if you search the boards.
I found it fascinating when I learned that the ratings for the series were actually going up in January-February of 1971. It makes me wonder whether the show could have found a whole new audience had it continued into the Seventies.
On the other hand, conjuring up the image of David, Quentin and Roger in those loud polyester Seventies outfits with platform wedgies and ties wide enough to serve as bibs makes me grateful NOT to have had to live through all that.
