The time slot was never changed

Total of 7 made and two were never aired

The show aired after Good Times and competed with Bionic Women on ABC and the Practice on NBC

Negative Review from the Star-Herald's Waid Prather....."The show goes past proving that ball players cant act. Jim Bouton not only proves he cant act but the actors are so bad they probably cant play ball either"

The Akron Beacon's Dick Shippy said......"Bouton's curve looking like a sinker"

An odd attempt at a sitcom: star Bouton wasn't even really an athlete-turned-actor. He had appeared in only one movie before this. Ben Davidson was trying to carve out an acting career, but he was huge even among football playes.
