"Brooklyn South" was scheduled opposite ABC's "Monday Night Football" and NBC's "Dateline Monday" and struggled in the ratings, averaging 10.5 million viewers & ranking 74th for the season.
The series underwent retooling in an attempt to boost ratings, but despite the changes, it was canceled in May of 1998 shortly after the first season wrapped.
According to his autobiography, Steven Bochco says personal issues kept him from inputting as much as usual into this show's production, and that this contributed to weak scripts after the first few episodes.
Then, Bochco took more control in the later episodes and ratings started to perk up, but CBS chairman Les Moonves cancelled the show anyway, a decision that Bochco adamantly disagreed with, and a season after extreme tinkering by CBS doomed his comedy series, "Public Morals" to a short two-episode run.
