It was a tough time slot. Thankfully ABC didn't put Happy Days on Friday nights.

Mark Hamill and Gary Busey were relative unknowns at the time

I guess viewers weren't interested in tuning in to watch this guy every week.

I was suprised it had good reviews. It just didnt look like a show that would make someone run home to see lol I dont even think lots of people wanted to even see if it was good because the show ranked 61 out of 63 after the 1st episode
