Is there any other show that attracted so many stars of failed series? Or is that just due to the state of NBC at that time?

Mostly the latter. NBC clearly pushed HARD to have its own "stars" represented on this show, and some shows were much less successful than others, especially on NBC around that time. They were just beginning to turn a corner after the late-seventies early-eighties fiascos, but there was still plenty of dreck.

None of NBC's fall premieres from the 83-84 season made it to a second season, and there were only a couple of bright spots on the midseason slate.
aaron sica:
I wonder at what point during the run did NBC finally announce that they were pulling the plug on the show?
TLEberle:
From Matchless Gene Rayburn I think it was when Santa Barbara was ready to go.

Did they ever have a Cheers or Family Ties-adjacent personality?
