Productions with problems

Chinese Restaurant (1999)

The 40-episode series, directed by Ying Da, tried to replicate the success of I Love My Family. It is set in a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, and follows a family struggling to survive financially and adjust to cultural differences. Ying says it's his "best work", and was his most expensive sitcom. However, as he prepared to sell it to major TV stations in 1999, the United States bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, stoking anti-US sentiment in China. All Chinese cable stations suspended broadcasting or purchasing of US-related productions. Ten months later, the production was sold to a station at a low price and suffered heavy cuts, which may explain its poor performance.
