    • Trivia
      Disney president Michael Eisner personally called Kathleen Turner to express his love for the pilot, assuring ABC would pick it up, but when the fall schedule was announced a week later, the show wasn't on it. Creator Peter Tolan later remarked that although studio executives were enamored, the show received an unfavorable response at test screenings.
