2nd Earliest Outright Bomb in TV History: The Tammy Grimes Show - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Episode 30's blogs, usually posted Tuesdays on this site, are always interesting and informative. Today I found out about The Tammy Grimes Show. Later decades flops were pulled early with a lot more frequency. But that was unheard of in 1966, which makes The Tammy Grimes Show being yanked after just four episodes one of the earliest TV disasters. For one month Dick Sargent led into Dick York, a few years before the infamous Darrin recast on Bewitched. TV Tango is often helpful finding out what was on. But there are holes they still need to fill, neglected to say for many weeks what aired on CBS Thursdays after My Three Sons from 9-11. And it would be nice for them to add ratings to shows from before the 80s.

Thanks! NBC also had a sitcom called Doc Corkle that they pulled after just three episodes in the fall of 1952. Fortunately, they had Mr. Peepers ready to take its place.
