Several stories have surfaced surrounding "Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos'" abrupt cancellation. It was rumored that Packer - having been tipped about the show's risque content - phoned the Nine Network and ordered the studio operators to "Get this shit off the air!" The show immediately went into a commercial, with a rerun of the American situation comedy "Cheers" filling the show's remaining air time. Meanwhile, the proceedings in the studio where "Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos" was airing were also halted in short order, with the stunned studio audience told to go home and the production staff fired.
