Who's the Boss ran on ABC for 8 years, but it got treated so badly in the later years. Here's its broadcast schedule:
September 1984; Thursday 8:30 - 9:00
October 1984 - April 1985; Tuesday 8:30 - 9:00
April 1985 - July 1985; Tuesday 9:00 - 9:30
July 1985 - August 1991; Tuesdays 8:00 - 8:30
August 1991 - September 1991; Tuesday 8:30 - 9:00
September 1991 - January 1992; Saturday 8:00 - 8:30
February 1992 - March 1992; Saturday 8:30 - 9:00
March 1992 - June 1992; Saturday 8:00 - 8:30
June 1992 - July 1992; Wednesday 9:30 - 10:00
July 1992 - September 1992; Thursday 8:00 - 8:30
I cant beliieve they put it to Saturday night. Almost every show on Saturday night is always dead last in the ratings.
Here's the ratings:
Season 1: #32
Season 2: #10
Season 3: #10
Season 4: #8
Season 5: #6 tied
Season 6: #12
Season 7: #20
Season 8(moved to Saturday nights)(September 1991-January1992):
#79
Season 8(February-June1992): #91
Season 8: #85
You can see the dramatic ratings decrease for Who's the Boss?. A Top 10 show for 4 consecutive years and in the top 20 for 6 consecutive years, and then for some reason ABC gives up on the show and moves it to the worst timeslot (Saturday night 8:30 to 9 and 8-8:30). What a shame. Just thought you'd be interested in this.
And Also, is it just me, or do I remember watching a season 8 episode in 1992 on Saturday night at 7:30 to 8:00. I just thought I'd remember because I was doing something and was mad at the timeslot. Or is it just me?
