Coming to an end: Series regular Rondie Reed, 63, who played Peggy on the show, announced the series' cancellation.
The actress explained that there would now only be a shortened season of 13 episodes rather than the full 22-episode season originally announced back in March.
'We are done taping as of January 27th 2016 and I am not sure exactly when/if the episodes will all be aired,' she explained.
Reid said she had no interest in supporting a campaign to prevent the cancellation.
'The network has it's reasons, and I will not get into a debate, discussion, or campaign to get them to change their minds. Other venues were explored by WB and Bonanza Productions (Chuck Lorre) after CBS announced their intentions, but did not turn up a future for our show.
'It is a fact and we have known for a few weeks.'

However despite her acceptance of the situation, Reid said she was 'grateful' to have worked on the show and called the team behind it 'fabulous'.
'I have learned a lot about many things, including the Business we call Show.
'Also grateful for all the fans and for the personal support I have received over the (almost) 6 seasons.'
