Members kalbir Posted April 2 Author Members Share Posted April 2 1995/96 was dominated by NBC Thursday: ER #1, Seinfeld 2nd, Friends 3rd. I don't count the NBC Thursday garbage shows that made the Top 10. 1995/96 was CBS 1990s primetime nadir. They were being sold to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. Their only Top 10 show was 60 Minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 2 Members Share Posted April 2 Only in the mid-'90's could you have any woman losing her [!@#$%^&*] over Fabio without it seeming ridiculous (and even back then, I wondered what all the fuss was about, lol). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 4 Members Share Posted April 4 (edited) Starting at about 8 minutes you get a story on the Elvira pilot not being picked up by CBS (it is available in full on Youtube - I love Elvira and Katherine Helmond, but it's nothing special, with some elements already done better in Mistress of the Dark), then they go into the new CBS fall shows, ending in a terrifying photo of Tom Arnold. One of those sitcoms (The Trouble with Larry) was actually premiered early, and did so badly it got yanked after three episodes, replaced by another short-lived sitcom by the same producers (It Had to Be You) - so short it only ran one more episode than Larry. Anyone know if that's a record for a production team? Then there was a pilot for the aftermath of that show with Dunaway's character having died (I think), which I put in the pilot thread last year. Only The Nanny would have legs. Earlier in the episode there's also an extended preview for Frasier.

Members soapfan770 Posted 10 hours ago Members Share Posted 10 hours ago (edited) The ratings collapses for The Wonder Years and Doogie Howser are pretty startling during the 91-92 and 92-93 seasons. ABC Wednesdays for the 1992-93 season are a bit peculiar—-While Home Improvement ranked at #3 in the 9/8 time slot, both Wonder Years and Howser died a miserable death in the 8/7 hour with very low ratings, scheduled against 90210 and Unsolved Mysteries. Both shows fell out the Top 50. Doogie ended up being yanked abruptly mid season and immediately cancelled, much to the producers shock that they weren’t able to finish out their original ending and had already planned a 5th season story arc.
