The only shows to remain on NBC's Saturday night lineup the following year were Gimme a Break and Hunter -- which was moved there midseason. The Facts of Life also joined the Saturday night lineup the following year alongside the premieres of 227 and The Golden Girls.

The 1984 Fall TV season wasn’t a total wash. After all, it did give us “The Cosby Show”, “Who’s The Boss”, & “Murder She Wrote”...😎

@millenniumman75 8 жыл бұрын

1:47 - that theme of the Love Boat wasn't used until the final season (1985-1986).The Gimme a Break episode was from the Spring of 1985. Jonathan Silverman appeared on a two -parter in late 1984, but was not in the opening credits until the season finale in May 1985....which was also Dolph Sweet's last show before he died.

We would stay there until closing at 2:00 A.M., drinking and talking about the day and our future. Screw television. And with shows like this, you can see why it was the last thing on our minds.

The rendition of "Holding Out for a Hero" was sung by Elizabeth Daily, the girlfriend of Jon-Erik Hexum at the time. She was filming Pee-Wee's Big Adventure at the time (she played Dottie). In the scene in PWBA where Pee-Wee first discovered his bike was missing, and he called for Dottie and loudly honked the bike horn, she supposedly had a very horrified look on her face. This was not scripted, and was because of the emotional trauma of having lost Hexum. Elizabeth Daily (often credited as E.G. Daily) had a few pop hits at about this time, and went on to voice Tommy Pickles (Rugrats) and Buttercup (Powerpuff Girls), among others. Also, she was briefly married to Rick Salomon (from the Paris Hilton sex tape).

Patrick McCarron I had heard/assumed he shot himself (with a prop gun) on the set of Voyagers (where he co-starred with Meeno Peluce.) but I was wrong. I was in the 4th grade at the time and never forgot it because Voyagers was my favorite series and it was abruptly discontinued by NBC. I guess the kids in my schoolyard assumed it was because he shot himself. Funny how these childhood memories get mixed up.
