Thanks for the promo and credits. It aired spring 1979 and was not renewed. Jacobs was also planning Knots around this time. Constance McCashin (who had a role on this series) said Jacobs offered her the role of Laura at Christmas 1978.

At one time there was a photo on the net of Lorimar shows circa 1979 and it had the casts of The Walton's, Dallas, Eight Is Enough and Married The First Year all standing together in a large group shot. 

Leigh McCloskey also did the short lived primetime soap Executive Suite 1976-1977. No episode of that show have ever surfaced, but I did find 2 promos for it.

I believe Married: The First Year only lasted for 4 episodes.  I've never seen the show itself but it does have a really beautiful opening theme song.

Did we ever find out what happened to Lucy's friend Muriel ? She stopped appearing around 1983. Karlene Crockett who played Muriel also appeared with Charlene Tilton in the 1979 TV film " Diary Of A Teenage Hitchhiker".

Liz Craig played by Barbara Babcock also disappeared from the series around the same time.

Married the First Year debuted with a dismal 21 share. However it still beat NBC's notorious bomb Supertrain, which had a 19 share. 

So it was doomed from the start. Eight Is Enough dominated the timeslot.

I'm sure Lorimar were not happy having two of their shows in competition.
