View Full Version : Would You Have Tuned Into A Show Solely Around Schneider From 'One Day At A Time?' Brian Damage 11-05-2011, 10:35 PM Was he an interesting enough character to have his own show? http://sharetv.org/images/one_day_at_a_time/cast/large/dwayne_f_schneider.jpg catlover79 11-06-2011, 04:01 PM With all due respect to Pat Harrington - NO. Brian Damage 11-06-2011, 05:13 PM With all due respect to Pat Harrington - NO. I am assuming that's the same thing CBS was thinking when they shot that backdoor pilot. Either that, or the ratings for the finale were pretty bad. I haven't figured that out yet. lol Retro4Life 11-06-2011, 06:27 PM Doubtful. Like most characters on sitcoms, Schneider was defined by his relationships with the other principals. It's possible to build that dynamic with new characters, but let's face it, it's very, VERY rare. I liked Schneider too, but I don't think he could have pulled off his own show.

Does anybody know if that is the reason they didn't move forward with his own show? Mr. Television 11-06-2011, 06:45 PM Does anybody know if that is the reason they didn't move forward with his own show? I don't really know but I never watched that episode and have never seen it. I watched the episode where Ann left and after that I considered the show over. Brian Damage 11-06-2011, 08:42 PM I don't really know but I never watched that episode and have never seen it.

I stopped watching after Julie left...and that horrible kid came on! Mr. Television 11-06-2011, 11:11 PM The show went on after Ann left?? Wow. I stopped watching after Julie left...and that horrible kid came on! The show went on for one more episode. lol Retro4Life 11-06-2011, 11:21 PM The show went on for one more episode. lol But Ann wasn't even in the finale? Brian Damage 11-06-2011, 11:53 PM But Ann wasn't even in the finale? Nope, LOL She had moved away with her new husband. The finale was a backdoor pilot with Schneider moving in with his niece and nephew I believe. catlover79 11-07-2011, 01:55 AM ^ Yep. |
