NBC during the 1986-87 television season (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986%E2%80%9387_United_States_network_television_schedule), instead aired The Tortellis (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125202/http://www.jumptheshark.com/t/tortellis.htm) on Wednesday nights at 9:30 following Gimme A Break! (https://web.archive.org/web/20140407133547/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3124503-gimme-a-break/?view=getnewpost), which was dying at that point. NBC instead used the post-Cheers slot on Thursday nights for Nothing in Common was an even bigger bomb. The other show was The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125223/http://www.jumptheshark.com/d/daysandnightsofmollydodd.htm).
