Well, in 1986 (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1986-01-26-tv-16-story.html), at Super Bowl XX, that's exactly what happened with NBC (https://reelrundown.com/tv/Forgotten-TV-Series) when they (https://books.google.com/books?id=_ucCAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA55&lpg=PA55&dq=%22The+Last+Precinct%22+NBC+Adam+West&source=bl&ots=VYJlV87P0F&sig=ACfU3U2tibf_VcHH8yn6YCqhBjmYZiNn_A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjp0-q1mYL9AhXxLX0KHa3fBQk4MhDoAXoECAIQAw#v=onepage&q=%22The%20Last%20Precinct%22%20NBC%20Adam%20West&f=false) aired (https://www.upi.com/Archives/1986/04/04/UPI-Arts-Entertainment-Shorts/8693512974800/) the pilot (https://books.google.com/books?id=_ucCAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA55&lpg=PA55&dq=%22The+Last+Precinct%22+NBC&source=bl&ots=VYJlV86UZC&sig=ACfU3U1wrmVnQwPfVuXikFq_wCnZ-MFxwQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiY8vu3l4L9AhUICjQIHcdSA744MhDoAXoECAMQAw) episode (https://books.google.com/books?id=fk-QAmO1ZmsC&pg=PA127&lpg=PA127&dq=%22The+Last+Precinct%22+NBC&source=bl&ots=Hh9S-LRsBe&sig=ACfU3U0VFdg2qc5SGCE40QFoayMa3_evlA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiY8vu3l4L9AhUICjQIHcdSA744MhDoAXoECAIQAw) of The Last Precinct (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Precinct) as the lead-out program (https://www.hellaentertainment.com/blog/tv/post-super-bowl-most-watched-shows/) to the (https://screenrant.com/most-watched-super-bowl-lead-out-tv-shows/) game (https://saleintothe90s.tumblr.com/post/110609608774/tv-bombs-after-the-super-bowl). However, everything about this, strategically, was such a mess (https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/56642/6-tv-shows-flopped-despite-having-super-bowl-lead), that they wound up losing to CBS in the ratings (http://www.tvtango.com/series/last_precinct/episodes), a network that did not air the Super Bowl and did not have a built-in audience of over 100 million people. This is the story behind this disaster on NBC (http://www.tvparty.com/80nbc4.html)'s part.
