What about Joan? - Cancelled!
(Source - Dirk Oltmanns)


Well, before we even got a glimpse of the episode featuring
Mary Lynn, the show was taken away from us.

Dirk Oltmanns, who runs the Unofficial "What About Joan" Website has posted several different articles about the demise of the program. It seems that the program, after only two airings of the season, averaged 8.7 million viewers to go with its 6.1 household rating and 9 share. Those numbers are substantially lower than its lead-in, Dharma & Greg, which averaged 10.9 million viewers and a 7.3 rating/11 share after two airings.

Spin City will permanently fill Joan's 8:30 p.m. ET/PT slot effective November 6.

Unfortunately, we never will get to see the episode with Mary Lynn air, but I will assume based on my contact from a month ago, that it was an episode called "Joan Sets Up Alice", wherein Jake introduces Joan to his friend, Ben, who happens to be a chef looking to open his own restaurant. Since we know that Mary Lynn played a waitress in the episode, this is most likely the one she appeared in. I will do my best to get a copy from the network and have it available to anyone interested in seeing it. What a bummer, I thought this show was really cute.
