I quickly googled to some of the German pages about the series and none mention the reason for the cancellation, however, you may have been on to something about the costs as the series *was* indeed more expensive than average at the time. Given that the decor and effects often consist of reused kitchen items like a hot iron, I am surprised that it was that expensive.Holger Haasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359071414296803464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-21254564149125872582009-03-06T15:00:00.000+00:002009-03-06T15:00:00.000+00:00Any idea why it was cancelled so quickly?Any idea why it was cancelled so quickly?Mark Hodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744056312268440003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-34325235371874920482009-03-06T14:43:00.000+00:002009-03-06T14:43:00.000+00:00RAUMPATROUILLE is a classic.

Nothing much has been written about in English so far as it hasn't been too accessible, but in Germany these are genuine cult productions. They are indeed quite talky and each one could have done with maybe 15 minutes less of running time, but I still get a kick out of those designs. Which reminds: I hardly think that they threw money at the designs or anything. It all looks rather cheap, but inventive.Holger Haasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359071414296803464noreply@blogger.com
