Twenty-five years ahead of its time

10/10

"Today, this sit-com would be considered funny though a bit of a copycat of other current shows. It was provocative, controversial and FUNNY. Sadly, it was too far ahead of its time for its target audience. (Perhaps the openly gay character scared away viewers in the 70's?) Had the network held onto it for a little longer, it might have found a niche, but such was not to be...."

💡 Did You Know?

To pursue this eponymous series, Walker opted out of the sixth and final season of McMillan and Wife, for which she had been nominated multiple times for both Prime Time Emmy and Golden Globe Awards. Her other series at the time, Rhoda (for which she was also repeatedly nominated for Emmys and Golden Globes) reduced her role from that of a series regular to a recurring role. In the end, The Nancy Walker Show was not a success, and only 13 episodes were produced, one of which was never even aired by ABC.
