This may have been the first TV series saved from cancellation by pleas from television station managers. The first four seasons aired in syndication after the fourth season, while the fifth season ran on NBC. The network wanted to pull the plug because the new episodes were getting a mediocre 8.6 rating, but the reruns were drawing a 7.4. The managers of the local stations thought it might be a series that people watch religiously, and watch their favorite episodes often. To avoid over-running the shows they already had (about 100, already run three times), the station managers agreed to buy the fifth and sixth seasons at a greatly inflated price, adding 50 more shows to their libraries, meaning NBC would not lose money by picking up the show.
