Thanks @DRW50 Beacon Hill was always going to be a risky proposition.

PBS made Upstairs, Downstairs a hit for them, but I'm sure the numbers were nowhere near what would be acceptable for a network

Upstairs/Downstairs fans would probably be (rightly) cynical of a US version and regular CBS viewers wouldn't know how to deal with a videotaped period piece. But initial ratings showed some curiosity and interest but it didn't last once the full schedule was in place. And there were BTS dramas as well.

BH debuted in a 2hr special Mon Aug 25 preseason and notched up a 23.1/42 share up against a rpt of Legend of Lizzie Borden ABC 18.2/33 and Baseball NBC 9.1/16

The following Tues it had its timeslot premiere, again up against repeats and earned a 31 share.

Once the season was underway BH earned a 14,6/27 up against Marcus Welby and Joe Forrester 19.3/36

But BH's lead in Switch had a 22.9/39 so there was big fall off.

By October there was no going back as BH was amongst the lowest rated shows. It was cancelled before Nov sweeps.

I noticed Michael Nouri in the cast. Did he get time off from SFT ? I'm sure a lot of NY actors hoped the show would take off as there would have been jobs to be had.
