Why was Maury canceled?

It has been reported that the popular NBCUniversal series, Maury, will stop original production this year after 30 seasons.

The host of the show, Maury Povich, is also planning to retire at the end of production. Maury Povich and his team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Even though the show will end production at the end of this season, original episodes will be aired through September. Subsequently, reruns of the show will air in syndication.

When did Maury start?

Maury initially launched as The Maury Povich show in 1991 by Paramount Domestic Television.

However, in 1998, the name of the show was changed to Maury. In that same year ownership of the program was taken over by Studio USA.

Subsequently, Studio USA was acquired by NBCUniversal.

The show is popularly known for contentious topics that usually include publicizing paternity test results on television.

Discussing his show with the Chicago Tribune in 2012, Maury Povich stated: “They touch so many classic themes, whether it’s love, distrust, conflict, drama. And the paternity shows in particular, you’ve got he-said, she-said, is-he-the-father, isn’t-he. While soap operas play those themes out over six months, we play them out over 12 minutes.”
