The Boys Are Back Trivia

It's almost impossible to believe that The Boys Are Back TV show didn't become a hit! With a cast headed by Hal Linden and Suzanne Pleshette, how could it fail to succeed? Well ... for one thing, CBS moved the time slot three times in its short time on the air! Fans couldn't keep track of it. One other thing that hurt was that for most of the episodes FOX was airing the hit series, "Beverly Hills 90210" in the same time slot!
