Talk:The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer (Unaired episodes)/@comment-382912-20140513083755/@comment-6095414-20140513085335

There's an enlightning post on a forum I often partecipate. The post is by user VIdiot and was posted 5 January 2010:

"I worked on Desmond Pfeiffer, and I was always sad that the controversy around the show's perceived racism prevented anybody from watching it. It was actually a very funny show -- maybe not Blazing Saddles, but definitely in that vain. The title character (played by Chi McBride, an excellent actor) was the only intelligent person in the White House; Abraham Lincoln was a dolt, General Grant was a drunk, Lincoln's wife was crazy, and so on. But nobody ever got to see all the shows that were shot, because of the demonstration and protests at the Paramount lot.

Just as the show was being cancelled, I told the producer they should quickly do a final episode where Lincoln is shot, but he said he'd rather do one where he was shot. He was really bitter and angry that the show was never given a chance"
