 The series ended with a cliffhanger that was never resolved. In the  series, Benson worked for the governor of an unnamed southern state  and in the final episode, Benson ran against his boss for the job  and the show ended before the election results were announced.  Supposedly three different endings were shot involving either a  Gatling win, a win by Benson, or a surprise win by a wildcard  candidate in which the two men are seen fishing together following  the inauguration. None of these endings proved satisfactory to  anyone involved, so the decision was made to keep the shows ending  unresolved.
