Cancellation
The show premiered on Thursday, September 24, 1970, at 9:00 p.m., making it the lead-in program for another series based on a Neil Simon play The Odd Couple, which debuted immediately afterward.
The series was canceled after star Scoey Mitchell was fired due to "differences of opinion" with the series' producers. Various actors auditioned for the part, but the series was instead canceled after 12 episodes had been produced.
