Best of Everything

ABC often tried 'alternative' concepts to get noticed so maybe BOE fell into that category.

But it had several strikes against, as mentioned.

The concept - career girls in NY - may not have appealed to housewives in Peoria.

The timeslot-midday leading off a new soap block, up against established opposition. And I'm sure the clearances weren't great.

The show was very low rated. ABC would have had to be realistic with rating's expectations, but the actual numbers were dreadful.

Maybe the quality of the show itself-perhaps James Lipton didn't deliver-his AW was regarded as pretty staid.

So after 6 months, everyone involved decided to pack it in and move on. Bewitched reruns were returned to the noon timeslot and stayed there till March 72 when Password moved into that slot.

Why was Kathy Glass considered a huge soap talent? I have seen very little of her work, but so far I'm not all that wowed by her. That Bundt cake hairstyle she sported later on didn't help. Brynn Thayer said she cut her hair like Kathy's when she took over the role of Jenny on OLTL so the audience would get use to the transition.
