This one's been making the rounds on Facebook: 1988's Old Money, intended for CBS. The ensemble cast includes Don Porter and Nan Martin as the heads of the family, plus Lori Loughlin, Conchata Ferrell, John Dye, Jim Piddock, and Sandy Faison (the original Grace Farrell in Annie), among others.
It's fascinating to me that in the course of two years, 1986-88, all four broadcast networks tried their luck with an "Oh, those kooky rich!" sitcom. NBC -- Easy Street and technically Marblehead Manor. FOX -- Down and Out in Beverly Hills. ABC -- The Thorns. CBS -- the Old Money pilot. And not a one of them clicked with viewers.
