TV show on Fort Worth mortuary
canceled after bodies found

FORT WORTH — A reality TV show focused on the “soul and spice” of the Johnson Family Mortuary has been canceled as a real-life drama unfolds at the east Fort Worth funeral home.

The show, titled Good Grief, was originally scheduled to premiere Wednesday — and then pushed back to early August — on the Lifetime Network.

But then came last week’s startling discovery that eight unattended bodies — seven of them decomposing — had been found inside the mortuary, which was followed by a flurry of accusations, denials and arrests.

“The program featuring the Johnson Family Mortuary has not and will not air on Lifetime,” Les Eisner, vice president, corporate communications and publicity at Lifetime Networks, said in an email. “The allegations are deeply troubling and our thoughts and prayers go to the families affected by this situation.”

The show would have been an addition to a unique — some might say morbid — genre of funeral-themed reality television shows such as the Best Funeral Ever, which aired on the TLC Network and featured the staff at the Dallas-based Golden Gate Funeral Home and Family Plots, which aired for four seasons on the A&E Network and featured a funeral home in California.

I guess you could say it was DOA.

Since the Lifetime Network bowed out, they're thinking about putting it on the Deathtime channel.

If a TV show was being filmed there, how did all that go unnoticed?
