The Ted Knight Show (1978 TV series)
"The Ted Knight Show" was Ted Knights first attempt at starring in a show of his own after his run from 1970 to 1977 as newsman Ted Baxter on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show". After its pilot, "Mr. Dennis Steps Out, " was broadcast on October 26, 1977, as the fifth episode of the second season of the sitcom "Busting Loose", "The Ted Knight Show" was spun off as its own series in the spring of 1978. A disappointment, "The Ted Knight Show" drew low ratings and was cancelled after six weeks on the air. Episode director Joel Zwick later said that in his opinion CBS had thought that Knights star power would carry the show, but that the premise of a situation comedy centering on an escort service was too strange for the show to succeed. Knight, meanwhile, said that in retrospect it had been a mistake for him to star in a new show so soon after the conclusion of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".
