Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

[Khan]

From what I remember, CLAF was like "Magnum, P.I." and "Simon & Simon," with the emphasis placed more on the quirky, father-and-son dynamics between Jack Warden and John Rubinstein than on actual detective work.  It wasn't good or bad; it was just "okay."  But it definitely was a "time slot hit."  It needed a strong lead-in, such as MSW, to be successful.  When CBS dislodged it (and "Trapper John, M.D.") to make room for "The CBS Sunday Movie," CLAF was as good as gone.

I brought up Crazy Like a Fox in the Time Slot Hits thread.
