USA Network hit the the reality show mother lode in 2014 when it debuted “Chrisley Knows Best,” a sitcom-style reality series featuring an Atlanta family led by the colorful, Southern drawlin’ Todd Chrisley, who carried on like a reincarnated Paul Lynde.
While an NBCUniversal spokesman didn’t confirm the news Monday evening, Deadline said the show has been canceled but a few episodes that were taped prior to the trial will air in 2023.
The show, which specialized in “Brady Bunch”-level high jinks, became the network’s biggest reality show ratings draw, one of the last times a basic cable show of its ilk would capture the pop-culture zeitgeist before streaming began to steal away traditional TV’s audience.
