When it was announced that a spin-off of Empty Nest was gonna be made NBC was determined to make Nurses a blockbuster hit. But the main reason I think Nurses was cancelled was due to low ratings and with so many changes during every season of Nurses made it impossible for fans to watch and keep up with it. So do you think that Nurses would've still been a hit if NBC had not cancelled it? I find it surprising that of all the 90's sitcoms Nurses has been the most underrated and it would be cool if Laff would add Nurses to it's lineup someday because Nurses has never been aired in reruns in syndication or anywhere else

The problem with Nurses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurses_(American_TV_series)), so I've been told and read (https://www.datalounge.com/thread/16255956--the-golden-palace-golden-girls-spin-off-will-it-ever-be-released-on-dvd-) is that it (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Nurses1991) started out (https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1991-09-13-9103090343-story.html) as a vehicle (https://web.archive.org/web/20140406113023/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3173182-nurses/?view=getnewpost) for Stephanie Hodge (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-09-13-ca-2284-story.html) and Jeff Altman (https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1991-09-12-1991255139-story.html), but neither were (https://www.imdb.com/review/rw1037628/?ref_=tt_urv) good enough (https://www.datalounge.com/thread/26524821-dorothy-zbornak) to carry (https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1991-09-14-9102050454-story,amp.html) a series, and the supporting cast (https://www.imdb.com/review/rw1648136/?ref_=tt_urv) wasn't good enough to help them.

In the second season, David Rasche (https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1992-08-08-9203110336-story.html) joined the cast (http://www.thetvratingsguide.com/2020/04/spinoff-stories-golden-girls-article-vii.html) and stole the show in every scene he was in. It was painfully clear the other cast members weren't funny and he proved it. They added Markus Flanagan (https://www.deseret.com/1992/12/4/19019866/flanagan-finds-nurses-a-whole-new-experience) in the second season (http://emptynesttv.com/home/show-info/nurses-the-spinoff/) to draw in the "hunk" element as a former EMT and now orderly.

Then they booted off (https://variety.com/1993/tv/reviews/nurses-the-eagle-has-landed-1200433206/) Hodge and brought in (https://www.datalounge.com/thread/10205083--empty-nest-) Loni Anderson (https://ew.com/article/1993/09/24/week-11/) and retooled it (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031154123/http://www.jumptheshark.com/n/nurses.htm) a bit to make it (https://www.deseret.com/1993/6/12/19051205/loni-nurses-tv-career-as-she-and-burt-break-up) a vehicle for her (https://www.filmboards.com/board/t/I-Loved-This-Show-1480466/), only Rasche (https://www.mcall.com/news/mc-xpm-1993-10-10-2954194-story.html) still stole every scene and he was overbearing without a strong person to play off of.
