Checking In couldn't compete with Mork and Mindy on Thursdays

But Mork and Mindy was already losing it's audience by that season . . . if viewers liked the show, they would have tuned in, which they didn't.

Stupid, simply stupid, it should have been paired with the Jeffersons for at least a year.

Do you know what show it was paired with? Never mind, it was Park Place. I think I saw the first episodes of both shows but I never watched again.

Hence, a 4 week cancellation.

Which makes the cancellation more understandable because Checking couldn't compete with a DYING SHOW-lol

Oh I forgot about that. I was only 13 at the time I believe, but I still remember tuning in. It was just around that time I really got into The Jeffersons, too.
