Night Court

A broad sitcom about a fastidious editor working with an eccentric horror writer who has a tendency to pull morbid practical jokes.

Failed military sitcom about soldiers at the Armed Forces Vietnam Network who broadcast the evening news to American troops stationed in Saigon during 1967. 'M*A*S*H' was still going strong on CBS, but, memories of the Vietnam War still raw, audiences found nothing funny about this series and it was axed after five episodes.

A Saturday-morning circus show.

Originally slated as a mid-season replacement, the NBC sitcom Kristin was held up for release until June 5, 2001. Tony-winning Broadway musical star Kristin Chenoweth starred in this semi-autobiographical effort as Kristin Yancey, a starry-eyed Oklahoma gal who heads to the big city in hopes of a showbiz career. After a series of desultory auditions, Kristin lands a job as personal assistant to go-getting real estate developer -- and notorious rogue -- Tommy Ballantine (Jon Tenney). Under a legal cloud because of past incidents of sexual harassment, Tommy has hired Kristin precisely because he finds her completely unappealing, and because she staunchly adheres to the sort of high moral values that he detests. In the prescribed sitcom fashion, Kristen is surrounded (practically engulfed) by wildly eccentric, ethnically stereotyped co-workers: no-nonsense Latina assistant Santa Clemente (Ana Ortiz), flippant black bike messenger Tyrique Kimbrough (Dale Godboldo), and Italian handyman Aldo Bonnadonna (Larry Romano, then pulling double duty as a regular on King of Queens). Kristin was packaged by the same people responsible for Frasier and The Cosby Show.

Former waitress Maria Navarro settles in as an office manager of Lukowski Construction and builds a relationship with its owner.

A 16-year-old's shenanigans put him at odds with his prim high-school counselor and bemused parents. When star Chad Lowe left after only a few episodes, the series was retitled 'Under One Roof.'
