While Son of Zorn premiered well after football, that audience did not stay for its second episode. Many episodes aired under the football halo, but it often had poor retention from The Simpsons. Its fate was sealed with the final two episodes, where it went lower than the rest of FOX's comedies despite having more exposure in previous weeks. It was one of the more higher-rated cancelations of the season, but the ratings didn't mask the weakness of the show. Minus a couple decent data points, there wasn't much reason to keep it around.
