Does anyone agree with me the ABC late 70s Tuesday Nite Line Up Collapsed In 1979? Here's Why I Think So:
*Laverne & Shirley was moved to Thursdays and replaced by Angie. Angie was cancelled that season
*Happy Days' ratings were falling severly
*Three's Company supported the lineup from 1979-1983. Now, Priscilla Barnes is IMO, a bad actress. Maybe Suzanne Somers could've saved it
*L&S (After Moving Back in 1980) was cancelled in 1983 while still in the Top 25.
*Soap wasn't drawing in as many people as TC, LS, and HD.
*Times Were Changing. If They Were Scatted Among Other Nights the Shows Could've Been Saved.
*The Ropers was moved to Sat (Or Sun) and was cancelled at #25, after obviously having a good season on Tuesday Nite.
Man, looking back, this Line Up Really Suffered!
------------------
Marianne: Well, look! It's Pocahantas Purneli, the town halfbreed! Half indian, and half dressed! Come in Poke!
Pocahantas: Maryanne, I know there's something desperatly missing in your life!
Maryanne: How did you know?
Pochantas: I saw it in your eyes, I read it in your face, I read it on your bumpersticker that says "Welcome, Shriners"!
Shirley: Rhonda, if your not out of here on the count of three, Laverne here will shave your head, and you can be in "The King and I"!
