Since the show's third season, ratings were in decline. Producers believed that replacing Shelley Hack with a new "Angel" would improve viewing figures, but with this season's timeslot being continually changed during its run, ratings continued to fall. As a result of the scheduling, the show dropped to a lowly #59 in the Nielsen chart, leading ABC to cancel the series after the season concluded.
