It got decent ratings for a lot of its run (admittedly, it was likely in no small part because it followed The Golden Girls) and was a wonderful companion piece to The Golden Girls on Saturday nights. And it was a TOTAL improvement over the travesty that was the original pilot with Paul Dooley and Rita Moreno. Has it even had much of a life in syndication?
