I loved this show as a child and most kids of the era loved it but it had an odd short run. It appears to have been a mid-season replacement starting in January 1970, it's second season was a "full season", and then it was cancelled mid-season in it's third year making it basically three seasons but running two years! (January 1970 to December 1971 although that may have only been the date of the last first run, there may have been reruns that aired before it was cancelled that last season although January seems too early for repeats for the period.)

The reason it was cancled was that FCC told the network's they had to give back the 7:30pm-8pm slot to the local affilates - it was the "prime time acess rule"
Shows with borderline ratings were easier to drop.
