ABC pulled the switch of Bill Maher’s talk show. And why was this step taken? The reason behind the closure of the show was that the host of the show disagreed with President Bush. Yes, he disagreed and he disagreed when President Bush called the terrorists behind the September 11th attacks cowards. Read what Bill Maher had to say on this: “We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it’s not cowardly.” Now you yourself can make out, why the show was pulled.

2. “7th Heaven,” in syndication

This could have been possibly one of the best shows of the Twin brothers Jason and David Benham. They had plans of working on their own series. But then, why was the show shut even before airing? The reason was that the network came to know about their rough statements made on about homophobic, anti-Muslim and anti-abortion.
