The Amazon Prime video has canceled Clean slateWho was the final project of the Norman Lear television legend after a season. The stars of the series Laverne Cox and George Wallace, as well as their co-creator colleague Dan Ewen, announced the news in a column of guests on Deadline.
Clean Slate was presented on Prime Video on February 6; At the end of March, he was canceled, wrote the trio. Cox, Wallace and Ewen described the series as “love work” and an “seven -year effort” which “had disappeared in an exhaust breath of the server”.
Perhaps a little shot on the way Amazon is carrying out its activities.
It was Cox and Wallace who brought the show to Lear. Lear, the Sitcom Dynamo (for decades and decades), died in December 2023 at 101 years. Lear was the genius of comedy behind Everything in the family,, Mud,, Good times,, The Jeffersons And Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
The Hollywood Reporter contacted Amazon Prime Video with a request for comments on cancellation news; We did not immediately hear.
In his review, THR called Clean slate A “warm, well -intentioned and not particularly funny comedy”.
Wallace played Harry Slate, the owner of the Slate Family Car Wash (Get It? Clean slate?) In Mobile, Alabama. After 23 years of distance, Harry is delighted to welcome the child “He thought he was his sad and unsafe son,” wrote Daniel Fienberg in his criticism. “Instead, he welcomes confident, generally happy Desiree (Laverne Cox), who left a career in the art world in New York.”
The reunion does not really take place in the kind of classic sitcom-y which could be expected.
“Harry is surprised for perhaps 30 seconds, accidentally puts in poor condition once or twice. But then, he accepts enough, the joke / torsion being that it is much more indignant to learn that the desiree is vegetarian,” continued Fienberg. “Archie Bunker, it is not.”
And Everything in the family It was not.
