Spencer (1984)
"Spencer" and its short run on NBC
18 June 2005 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
I enjoyed watching this show on Saturday nights, and was disappointed when the show left NBC's lineup. If my memory serves me correctly, Chad Lowe, who was 16 when the show started, wanted out of the demanding schedule required to make a situation comedy (in late 1984) -- during a time when this show was receiving favorable ratings. The role of Spencer Winger went to Rossie Harris after Mr. Lowe's departure from the series. Shortly after (or coincident with) Mr. Lowe's concerns surfacing, Ronny Cox voiced a similar concern and wanted to leave the show as well. The series was ultimately canceled, however I cannot remember if it was NBC's decision, or that of the show's producers.
