Short-lived sitcom

[@ballthemblack]

Never heard of this show. But it's good to watch these past shows

[@robsmoviecollection3715]

Lol, I used to watch this show! She was very cute.

[@melsmith2669]

I remember watching this show once back in spring 1989.

[@jwgreek8606]

Me too and I was only three.

[@jwgreek8606]

Was wondering what show on NBC was produced by H/C and Fred Silverman!

[@minouchejean8265]

[@jerseytomato100]

Stereotypical ethnic family living in Queens…Jeez what a novel concept. Only been done a million times in sitcom land.

[@rubyred3860]

Melody Rogers who played Vanessa Orloff in this pilot episode is best known for playing Melanie Morris the mother of Zack Morris on Saved By the Bell and Saved By the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas

[@melsmith2669]

This show had 4 men and only 2 ladies on it.

Tom Palmer developed the series while Fred Silverman, who was a co-producer on the Perry Mason TV movie series, Matlock, Jake and the Fatman, In the Heat of the Night, Father Dowling Mysteries, and Diagnosis: Murder, executive produced it with creators Blake Hunter and Martin Cohan, who worked on the NBC/ABC television series Diff'rent Strokes and ABC television series Who's the Boss? Bob Ezrin and Michael Tavera wrote the theme music while Jonathan Wolff composed other sound effects, and Castle Bryant Johnsen designed the title sequence. ELP Communications, Stiefel-Philips Entertainment, The Fred Silverman Company, Hunter-Cohan Productions, and Columbia Pictures Television managed the show's production. Originally scheduled to start in late February 1989, filming began in mid-March before an audience at Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood. Episode tapings occurred on Tuesdays following six (6) days of rehearsals. Script issues plagued production, and the premiere was filmed again one (1) week before its broadcast. To prevent viewers from thinking of her as "another actress trying to sing", Alonso kept her singing career separate from the show and does not sing in it. One of the Boys received little publicity before its premiere; the production delays prevented critics from watching a preview. A mid-season replacement for NBC in the 1988-89 United States television season, the show would air a second season starting in September 1989 if its trial run was well-received. The sitcom debuted at 9:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, April 15, 1989, following The Golden Girls in what The Palm Beach Post described as a "solid gold ratings spot". It then moved up to 8 p.m. for two weeks-"a much more difficult ratings spot" according to the Wisconsin State Journal-taking the regular time slot of 227. The last three episodes aired at 8:30 p.m. leading into The Golden Girls. Aside from NBC, the program aired on BCTV in the Canadian province of British Columbia. The Los Angeles Times Syndicate deemed the premiere's performance as one of the top 20 highest-rated primetime programs in the week it aired "respectable". After the second episode only made the top 50, Tom Green of USA Today said the show's ratings "results haven't been that good". The six episodes ranked 17th, 49th, 55th, 42nd, 37th, and 48th, respectively. NBC canceled One of the Boys on May 15, 1989, as it announced a schedule for the 1989-90 television season. According to Alonso, it was not renewed because the network "didn't think it would be a long-running hit". Clohessy remarked their "on-screen relationship ... would have kept evolving" if a second season were filmed, and Aquino's character would have assumed the role of bookkeeper at the company.

The guy in the white overalls and long hair is 21 jump streets Doug Penhall(Peter De Luises) real life brother who also played on 21 jump street in 1990.

Maria Conchita Alonso, when she was a judge on Viva Hollywood, did inspire the lipsync for your life elimination on Drag Race, because of the elimination tactic on Viva Hollywood.

[@Retrotv]

4/15/89, there was another different sitcom on NBC back in 1982 with the same title, that one had 13 episodes, this one only had 6 episodes, it did not preempt (Empty Nest) as it aired at 9:30 PM, they already wrapped up their season finale two weeks back at the time.

[@melsmith2669]

Why was this tv show so short lived?

[@bmasters1981]

@@melsmith2669 And why would CPT be part of two different (in concept, at least) short-lived comedies with the same title, one earlier in the 80s, and one later?

[@jnadle1]

Much of the technical staff did Who's the Boss about the same time.

[@jwgreek8606]

Both shows are from the same producers

[@tnawcwvictoria]

One of the Boys from Martin Cohan & Blake Hunter Producers of Diff'rent Strokes & Who's the Boss? and from Fred Silverman Co-Producer of Matlock, In the Heat of the Night and Father Dowling Mysteries

[@conditionallyunconditional5691]

The ritualistic symbolism is bonkers here.

[@ponysalvajeahh.5193]

[@os5573]

I wish I could find episode 2, if this wasn't just a pilot.

[@tak178]

There's a reason this only lasted 6 episodes.

[@sitamcclellan3121]

2:30 Didn't he play the bully in Encino Man?

[@kpag3030]

Kid in the red sweater looks like baby bill hicks

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

What an excellent show! Just one problem, how can you sustain an employee/employer romance? Wrong approach. But great for a romantic comedy.

[@rudyiraheta80]

not cpt 89 what if they use wb 94

[@cjmiller6741]

Not two minutes in, and it sucks. And this was my era of tv, so I know there were plenty of decent tv shows available to watch, even on 4 major networks and some cable syndicates.

[@davidthedeaf]

Boy that is nothing close to real life. 😂

[@Reggie2000]

Now I know what show Seinfeld stole it's show within a show opening from. Horrible. 🤣

[@ManiacMike7]

FUN FACT: Jonathan Wolff (who was listed as the Music Supervisor here) also composed the Seinfeld theme song.

[@davidthedeaf]

Why would a new hire go to a boss’ personal home, know his address, and have him sign something? Work day over. 80s sitcoms sucked.

[@robertoalverez9755]

only thing i like about this show is theme question when will it be a show when the illegal allen or forenger helps or fall in love with a black man or a person of color? All i see during the decade was show where the female fro another country falls for the angleo saxion white male but the good thing about it none including this show didn't last

[@cjmiller6741]

You make a salient point, however Italians and Jewish people are not Anglo-Saxon. Italians are Latin people and Jewish people are descended from middle Eastern regions. Of course, I refer to the race, not the religious faith. The accent of the boss indicates an Italian. I mean, if we are to get specific about race.

[@davidthedeaf]

Anglo Saxon means English by the way. 😂
