Short-Lived TV Shows: 1980-81

The 1980-81 TV season introduced a mix of short-lived series—some showed promise but struggled against competition, while others faded from memory quickly. Through TV promos, intros, scheduling details, and Nielsen ratings, this video revisits the shows that aired for only one season.

💍 Cult Favorite Spotlight: The Brady Brides – When The Brady Bunch ended, the nostalgia didn’t stop. In 1981, The Brady Brides reunited Marcia and Jan, now married, navigating adult life while keeping that classic Brady charm alive. Despite the family name, the show only lasted seven episodes, proving that sometimes, spin-offs struggle to stand on their own.

Did these shows deserve a longer run, or were they forgotten for a reason? You decide as we take a look back at this era of television history.
