Denny Dillon IS funny but only when she's properly written. Actually the same can be said for that whole cast. The one saving grace was an unexpected Eddie Murphy. He was not hired in the normal manner and wasn't really supposed to be there. Yet he took the show by storm and probably saved it from being cancelled permanently with only six seasons. And it also launched an epic career as a bonus.

This is a great idea for a channel! I always wondered what happens to the shows that bomb and are never heard from again. I thought it would be cool to have cable channel that resurrects them. Might lose money, but would be cool. A lot of this strikes a chord with me because I came of age in 1970s. My parents didn't have cable, so TV, radio, and my record collection were basically it for home entertaiment. TV Guide was a critical resource and between seeing them advertised and listed in TV Guide, they were heavily promoted on their respective networks. So these shows are still in my long term memory even if they disappeared quickly or I never actually watched them. Great blasts from the past!

Having women show a lot of skin was scandalous and exciting at that time. However, PG rated shows like this always promised more than they delivered and couldn't hold anyone's interest for long. It still might have been risque enough for parents not to allow their kids to watch it. So it hurt ratings more than it helped. I think I watched about 1/2 of one episode and even though I was young at the time, I was like, "Wow, this is bad."

I watched the first few episodes of this show because Helen Martin. My main problem with it is the premise. He literally disappeared on his family one day and the only reason her returns SEVEN YEARS LATER is when he hears his wife is engaged to another man (AKA moving on with her life). Then he comes back expecting everyone to be happy to see hi. Only Kim Fields is happy to see him though as she is too young to remember him walking out so he uses his own daughter as a wedge. He also moves into the apartment above his family after his wife tells him his presence makes her uncomfortable. Oh, and he also deliberately ruins his wife's engagement. And the wife... starts to come around? It's a big case of something that was regularly played for laughs decades ago not aging well, but I suspect the concept gave enough people an icky feeling that it played a part in the show's failure. Helen Martin is kind of written as the bad guy, a lot of the jokes are at her expense at least, but she's absolutely justified in her low opinion of Lamont (or whatever the character's name is supposed to be).

Why did Family Matters moved to CBS? *In early 1997, CBS picked up Family Matters and Step by Step in a $40 million deal to acquire the rights to the programs from ABC.* ABC then promised to pay Miller-Boyett Productions $1.5 million per episode for a ninth and tenth season of Family Matters. However, tensions had risen between Miller-Boyett Productions and ABC's corporate parent, The Walt Disney Company (which had bought the network in 1996 as part of its merger with ABC's then-parent Capital Cities/ABC Inc.). *Miller-Boyett thought that it would not be a big player on ABC after the network's recent purchase by Disney.* Miller-Boyett Productions agreed to a $40 million offer from CBS for a 22-episode season for both Family Matters and Step By Step. CBS scheduled Family Matters along with Meego and Step By Step as a part of its new Friday lineup, branded as the CBS Block Party. The network scheduled the family-oriented block against ABC's TGIF lineup, where the two series originated. Jo Marie Payton's contract had just expired and she was reluctant to continue, *feeling the show had jumped the shark years prior.* She agreed to stay to keep continuity but left midseason shortly after nearly getting into a physical altercation with White in what would be her last regular episode (Original Gangsta Dawg); in that episode, White (playing a gangster instead of his usual Urkel) was attempting to insert material that violated Broadcast Standards and Practices. The resulting dispute between White and Payton escalated to the point where Darius McCrary had to separate the two. Payton would appear in only one more episode after that *-a Christmas episode that also brought back several former characters from the ABC run who had been written out on CBS-* before Judyann Elder took over as Harriette for the remainder of the season. While Family Matters continued to lose viewership compared to previous years, *it was initially a modest success on CBS; beating the show that replaced it (You Wish). Meego was was a ratings failure and was canceled after six weeks.* After the holiday special season, CBS replaced Meego with Kids Say the Darndest Things (and with that show's child-centered focus) it was placed in Family Matters' 8/7c time slot. Family Matters was pushed an hour later and paired with Step by Step. The ratings for Family Matters fell even further in this later slot and the entire block except for Kids Say the Darndest Things was canceled in spring 1998, with the remaining episodes burned off in the summer.

ABC's TGIF block (1989-2000) began to die in the fall of 1997: stemming from a combination of aging sitcoms like Family Matters and Step by Step moving to CBS (who started - and ended - their own family-friendly Friday night sitcom line-up in 1997-98 called "The Block Party"), the oversaturation of supernatural/magic type shows (Sabrina the Teenage Witch and new series You Wish and Teen Angel, the latter of which both lasted only one season), the failure of Two of a Kind (which was the last sitcom produced by the previously reliable Miller-Boyett group) starring the Olsen twins the following year. Ultimately, the ending of Boy Meets World after seven seasons and Sabrina, The Teenage Witch moving to The WB after the 1999-2000 season. ABC would bring back the TGIF brand for the 2003-05 & 2018-19 seasons, but it never met the same success it had before.

Meego was unusual among the shows in the CBS Block Party in that *it was targeted mainly at children, instead of the whole family.* *This was a factor in the show's failure:* by that point, the show's lead-in: Family Matters was consisted mostly of a cast of young adults and its lead-out: The Gregory Hines Show (the only show on the block to be produced by CBS and Columbia TriStar Television and with no ties to either Warner Bros. or Miller-Boyett) was also a mostly adult-oriented sitcom. *Another factor in the show's failure* was its direct competition, Boy Meets World: the program that aired on TGIF opposite Meego, *reached its peak in number of viewers during the 1997-98 season.* Meego was pulled from the air after *six episodes.* After holiday specials filled the slot for the next 2 months, Kids Say the Darndest Things replaced Meego on the CBS schedule in January 1998.
