What Piece S__T Took Frank's Time Slot?


I am curious what putrid 4th rate garbage was put on in place of this rare moment of television and New Orleans sublimity? Does anyone know?

CBS moved it's timeslot so many times we can't really say one show replaced it. It first came on CBS highly rated Monday nights. The lineup was Frank's Place, Kate & Allie, Newhart, and Designing Women. But it was up against ALF which was a big hit. Then, they kept moving it further down the Monday night lineup so it was against Monday Night Football. Then, they moved it to their low-rated Tuesday nights and it was up against the big hit Moonlighting. Then, it was replaced with the CBS Tuesday Night Movie. The sad fact is as great as this show was, it got crushed in every timeslot they put it and it was the lowest rated show on CBS' strong Monday night lineup. It was a victim of bad timing.

Thanks, TV maven! Maybe the show was a few years before its time.
