Or were there more outside circumstances working against the show that would have forced it to be cancelled anyway?

Like ABC couldn't find a better time slot for it than 4 p.m. It was getting killed by "Tattletales" over on CBS, and the show never really had a fighting chance.

All true... we didn't get it in Atlanta either. (Surprise!) Not as important, perhaps, but this was also when ABC was scheduling its daytime shows differently on the west coast, where they had "Money Maze" on at 11 am followed by "Big Showdown" at 11:30. (The west coast TV Guide ad for "Three Whirlwind Windups for a Chance at $10,000" showed Maze, then Showdown, then Pyramid, which aired at 2 pm PT; the east coast one was Pyramid at 2, Big Showdown at 2:30, Money Maze at 4.) Anyway, this meant that in the west, "Money Maze" had to hold its own against "Jackpot" and the increasingly popular new soap "The Young and the Restless." Either way, doomed.
