[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 320810, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]Paul didn't like the show. It was a dusted off script from a failed pilot he did called HOWIE in the mid-'60s. Apparently THE PAUL LYNDE SHOW only saw the light of day because ABC used it to fulfill a contract the network had with Elizabeth Montgomery and William Asher. ABC had wanted a ninth season of BEWITCHED in 1972, but Montgomery and Asher (who were separating at the time) wanted to move on so the network gave Paul Lynde his own show to make everyone happy. The Nielsen ratings were originally good, but they tanked, and the producers canned the show.[/JUSTIFY] [JUSTIFY]Do you agree Lynde was "too grating" to be the lead of a TV series?[/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
