Though unsuccessful and unacclaimed, the show lasted in the coveted Thursday "Must See TV" lineup for an entire season.
After 9 episodes were aired in the 2nd season this show was canceled and didn't get to finish airing the rest of the 18 episodes that were ordered for the 2nd season.
The character of Jake Silver (a hotshot who comes to a dying morning show to re-vamp it) is based on the real-life NBC producer Jeff Zucker who re-vitalized "The Today Show".
After the first few epsiodes, the characters of Lucia and Sister Brenda Trogman were phased out and eventually cut out, to simplify the ensemble.
The character of Brenda, the Weather Nun was meant to only be for the pilot. One of the characters that Jake was supposed to fire to improve the show. But the producers really liked the actress Brenda Dillman and wanted to keep her on.
