[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 368599, member: 57984"] Oddly enough, when it first aired in 1975, it was literally the bottom-rated show of that week -- like, 108 out of 108 shows. Aghast, pundits claimed it was "just too good for television." But I blame ABC, whose promo campaign made it look like some dry, drab snob-appeal kind of thing, instead of focusing on how funny it was. I mean, even I didn't watch it the first time around. In fact, the shamefully low ratings made me search it out in reruns (I don't think ABC even reran it in prime time) and was very impressed. Eons later, I bought the VHS tape, then loaned it to my parents who loved it and watched it countless times over the years. It did so badly in the Nielsens that I was surprised one of the networks hired Kate and Cukor to do another made-for-television movie four years later, a remake of THE CORN IS GREEN, which was also good.
