Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
CBS aired only 4 episodes before pulling it; remaining 4 burned off in Saturdays. Classic 2012 network chaos.
Part of a brief 2012 trend of 'blue-collar genius' shows (Scandal, The Good Wife adjacent), but uniquely centered working-class femininity without poverty tourism.
