Because based on the main characters and premise of the shows, it was a long shot to find people to be rushing to watch these shows

Mr. T and Tina....1976 spinoff from Welcome back kotter that should have definitely aired after Kotter on Thursday night since the character only appeared on the show one time

Ropers..............1979 spinoff from Three's company that centered around landord and his wife. Instantly it was a slim chance of this show surviving and may have lasted longer if aired at 930pm after TC. It only had success in season 1 because TC was on hiatus for 4 weeks

Checking In-1981 spinoff from the Jeffersons centered around the maid and was only funny because of her interactions with George. The actress showed in later years that she could be the star of her own sitcom in another situation. But the character florence was not strong enough for anyone to watch and should have aired after jeffersons on sunday night.


Mr. T and Tina......no eps in existence

Ropers on DVD........shock of the century

Checking In...........3 of 4 eps on Youtube
