It went to ABC as stated in your post. LOL. NBC was on the verge of canceling it due to low ratings. ABC had bumped a second season of "Three's A Crowd" for "Different Strokes". The "Three's Company" producers got their just deserts.

It was 1985. That was a good year for the three shows to have makeovers in the theme songs and sets: Different Strokes, Facts of Life and Silver Spoons.

Yes, it was. I was frustrated eight year old looking for it on Friday nights. It took a hiatus and then moved to some saturday airings before getting the official axe.

The hiatus on ABC killed me when I was younger. The last episode I saw was Arnold kissing Lisa and I was so happy to see Arnold kiss a girl. Then it all ended. LOL
