A total of 45 half-hour episodes including 1 primetime special were recorded for CBS from 1986 until 1990.[1][2] Season 3 only had two episodes, plus the primetime Christmas special, due to production being halted by the 1988 Writers Guild of America strike and also by the production of Big Top Pee-wee.
