EZ Streets is an American television
drama created by
Paul Haggis. It premiered on
CBS on

1996 with a two hour pilot
telefilm. After its first episode in its regular timeslot on Wednesday,
October 30,
1996 it was canceled with CBS president
Leslie Moonves promising that the show would be "relaunched" at a later date.
The series was relaunched that spring from
March 1,
