Final Episode of Dad Aired in 1986
On this day, February 6, 1986, the short-lived sitcom Dad aired its final episode on ABC. The series ran for just one season with a total of nine episodes before being canceled.

Dad followed the comedic struggles of an older man adjusting to life with his adult children, leading to generational conflicts and humorous misunderstandings. Despite an interesting premise, the show failed to gain traction with audiences and was quickly pulled from ABC’s schedule.

Since Dad only lasted a short time, it remains one of the more obscure sitcoms of the 1980s, rarely discussed in TV retrospectives.

Fun fact: The show Dad shares its title with a 1989 film starring Jack Lemmon and Ted Danson, though the two are unrelated.

Trivia question: Which 1980s sitcom starred Tony Danza as a retired baseball player who becomes a live-in housekeeper?
