Did you know

The show was cancelled not because of low ratings, but because of the explicit violence of an episode entitled "A Lion Walks Among Us" in which Fabian plays a young psychopath.

The series was eventually cancelled because the writers and producers felt that they could no longer write about the bus passengers and the show was focusing more on the residents of the town.

Tuesday Weld plays Cheri, the role played in the original film by Marilyn Monroe. Weld also played a character inspired by Monroe in the film "Lord Love a Duck."
