Another Day
Starring: David Groh, Joan Hackett, Hope Summers, Lisa Lindgren, Al Eisenmann
First Aired: April 8, 1978
Number of Seasons: 1
Estimated Production Cost: $62.8 million*
The cast of Another Day was overjoyed when the pilot episode was picked up for a full season in 1978, but they were unaware that the show would only be on the air for a few short weeks. It would be canceled in the same month that it made its debut on television. The plot, which revolved around family man Don Gardner’s determination to maintain his family solely on his earnings at the time, was fairly out of date for its time. This CBS sitcom was created by James Komack, who served as the show’s producer. With David Groh in the lead role, it was a hit television show. Ginny Gardner was played by Joan Hackett in the film. Olive was played by Hope Summers, Kelly was played by Lisa Lindgren, and Mark was played by Al Eisenmann. The sitcom aired only four episodes in the month of April before it was canceled for the last time. Another Day was regarded as dull, unfounded, and lacking in the excitement in order to keep up with the fast-changing times in which we live.

Doc Elliott
Starring: James Franciscus
First Aired: May 1, 1974
Number of Seasons: 1
Estimated Production Cost: Unknown
Dr. Benjamin R. Elliot, also known as Doc Elliot on the show, relocated from the large city to a little hamlet in the rural part of Colorado to pursue his medical career. After becoming dissatisfied with his regular routine, the titular figure went out into the community and got his hands dirty, making house calls and mending up his patients. In contrast to the complicated and disturbed characters that we would later see on medical dramas such as Nurse Jackie and NBC’s House, Doc Elliot was a lighthearted and entertaining television show. Dr. Elliot, played by James Franciscus, was a gentle soul. Neva Patterson (Mags Brimble), Bo Hopkins (Eldred McCoy), and Noah Beery (Neil McCoy) were among the series’ secondary characters (Barney Weeks). Unfortunately, the Doc didn’t get to live out his fantasy for much more than 14 episodes because the show’s ratings were dismal from the beginning.
