I was looking at a few episode guides for this show to see if there was ever an actual pilot episode and I found out that there was a pilot episode, but it was the last episode to air in the first season. :crazy: According to the episode guides I saw, "Fog Bound" aired in April or May 1987. Now I've heard of some pilots airing a few weeks after a show debuts, but NOT at the very end of the season... that's just crazy. :lol:

I don't get that, either. :confused: :lol:

I don't know but CBS never treated MSS with any respect. I know during the second season it got moved to Saturdays and got pulled off and on all season. Half of the episodes for season 2 never aired until it went into syndication. I don't know how CBS thought that was a good idea. :crazy: :lol: I liked the show. CBS should have kept it on Monday.

And the show that replaced it on Mondays, "Frank's Place", only lasted 1 season. :lol: I heard it was a critically acclaimed show, but it was also very offbeat and didn't really fit in with those other shows that aired on Mondays. I think CBS made a huge mistake by not only airing that show on Mondays, but by also having it leadoff the night at 8:00 pm in Kate and Allie's old timeslot. What were they thinking! :crazy:

I tried to get into Frank's Place but I couldn't. It wasn't funny. It was more of a dramedy. It was not filmed in front of an audience or anything. It would probably fit in more nowadays than it did then. It did have a great theme song and I did like Tim Reid from his days on WKRP and Simon and Simon but it wasn't enough. :lol: It didn't really fit on CBS' Monday night lineup. They should have kept MSS there. It might have built into a big hit. It was ranked I think #23 during the first season.

I watched a few minutes of Frank's Place on youtube recently, but I lost interest right away. :lol: Good theme song though. I even heard that it might be coming to DVD, but a lot of the music may be replaced. :rolleyes:

Yeah, and Kate and Allie wasn't much better in the ratings. I think MSS would have remained in the top 30 at least 2 more seasons if they had kept it on Mondays. They always had a solid lineup for the most part.

^ CBS has always had some pretty solid Monday night lineups. Didn't Northern Exposure always air on Mondays?

CBS' Monday night comedy lineup goes all the way back to I Love Lucy in the early 50's. Hopefully it will stay strong for years to come. Yea NE did air on Mondays on CBS at 10:00.
