Out of these choices, which do you think was the most underrated show ever on Nick-at-Nite:

- Mork and Mindy (got aired less and less overtime)
- The Lucy Show (aired in lousy timeslots most of the time)
- WKRP In Cincinnatti (never got a chance from the start)
- Laverne & Shirley (aired in lousy timeslots most of the time)
- Family Ties (same as TLS and L&S)

WKRP, Laverne and Shirley and Family Ties

WKRP seemed to be on Nick for like 3-5 months, so that gets it by default

Diff'rent Strokes belongs on here too.

That was on Nick's schedule for about four whole months, and I don't think Nick ever got past the 1981-1982 season except for when they showed a few episodes from the latter seasons during their "party blocks"

That should be past, not passed.

Family Ties started in 1982, not 1981.

Actually, Nick-At-Nite ended their "Block Party Summers" after the
2000 one, the 2001 summer marathons were called "Un-Real-
A-Thons".

Diff'rent Strokes aired on Nick-At-Nite from March until September
2001 and then for one week at the start of 2002.

I think Charles in Charge and Coach are two of the most recent 'passed' underrated shows on Nick at Nite. Both series were pushed back into late-night slots without being given much a chance; they didn't last that long either because of their short-term contracts.

WKRP in Cincinnati.... although I prefer Family Ties.
But FT got a big break thanks to TVLand. (where it fits better anyways)

I was shocked how little a break Nick gave Coach. It ran on ABC for 9 seasons, and was top 10 for 3 or 4 of those. I was shocked at how disposable it was treated, as if it ran for 3-4 seasons and never peaked above the 30's

They're doing a crappy job with Wings, too.

true, but Nick has at least kept it on it's schedule for over a year.... can't say they've done that with any other post-Cosby acquisition yet, tho Roseanne and Full House may be safe

I totally agree!

WKRP in Cincinnati

Definitley "WKRP" is the most poorly treated show by N@N ever... It began at a 12AM slot during Block Party Summer and then was regulated to once a week by November

Other shows that should be mentioned:
Coach
Charles in Charge
Diff'rent Strokes
Wings

... even though I don't really like any of those shows, they got shafted by N@N

Yes, I really like Family Ties on TV Land. But I think Family Ties was very mistreated and underrated.
