What happens

America is an American lifestyle and variety talk show that aired in daily syndication from September 19, 1985 until January 3, 1986. The show, which was purposely designed to be a program to serve as a late afternoon lead-in for its affiliates' news broadcasts, was a joint production of Post-Newsweek Stations and Paramount Domestic Television and emanated from Paramount Studios in Hollywood, California. Despite Paramount's expectations for America, the program was unable to find an audience and was cancelled after sixteen weeks on the air. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
