Members Khan Posted February 28, 2022 Members Share Posted February 28, 2022 Agree. Plus, she really needed new writers. Madelyn Davis and Bob Carroll, Jr. were out-of-touch by the 1980's. Meanwhile, what is with the ratings for "Kate & Allie"? No matter what else was going on in each of those weeks, K&A stayed at no. 17. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 28, 2022 Members Share Posted February 28, 2022 I loved Kate & Allie. It did go up in week 8 to #15. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 28, 2022 Members Share Posted February 28, 2022 Two whole spaces! Kate, Allie and the kids would have celebrated with another pizza! (They were ALWAYS eating pizza on that show, lol.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was their highest charting position during the 1986-1987 season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 28, 2022 Members Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I feel like K&A is unfairly overlooked. It was much, much better than "Growing Pains" or "Who's the Boss?." Edited February 28, 2022 by Khan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 28, 2022 Members Share Posted February 28, 2022 K&A’s problem was that it was on CBS. I feel like the only ‘80s CBS sitcom (prior to Designing Women and Murphy Brown) with any sort of legacy is Newhart, and even that’s pushing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 28, 2022 Members Share Posted February 28, 2022 It was a good sitcom. I bought it when it came out on DVD. Kate & Allie did hit the top 10 in week 2 of the 1985-1986 season Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kalbir Posted March 1, 2022 Members Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Kate & Allie lasted six seasons, with their best finish #8 in their first season 1983/84 (also it's only Top 10 finish). Newhart lasted eight seasons, with their best finishes #12 in their first season 1982/83 (tied w/ The Jeffersons) and in 1986/87. CBS seemed to struggle with sitcoms from 1982/83 (M*A*S*H ended and The Jeffersons, Alice, and One Day at a Time fell out of the Top 10) until 1990/91 (Murphy Brown and Designing Women entered the Top 10). Of the CBS sitcoms that premiered in the 1980s, Newhart, Kate & Allie, Designing Women, Murphy Brown, Major Dad were the only ones that lasted three or more seasons. @Soapsuds 1986/87 Week 11 was December 1-7, 1986 if my calculations are correct. This was the week that NBC moved L.A. Law from Friday 10 pm to Thursday 10 pm and the December 4, 1986 episode was Jeanne Cooper's first appearance as Gladys Becker. I see what you did there NBC.

Members Paul Raven Posted March 3, 2022 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2022 I know it's just one clip, but the tone of that interview kinda sums up the whole Life with Lucy experience. The hope that Lucy can recapture the magic, but with an underlying sadness that her time had passed. Even Lucy's appearance withe heavy makeup and bright wig looks almost like a parody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
