Production
At the insistence of series creators Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer, the show was made without a laugh track.[3] In December 1988, NBC announced that the series would go on hiatus after the December 21 episode.[4][5][6] The network had planned on bringing the show back after making certain "creative changes",[6] but only three leftover episodes aired in the summer of 1989.
