On this day April 27 1984, the final episode of Masquerade aired on ABC. The show starred Kirstie Alley and told the story of ordinary citizens recruited by the government to carry out top secret missions, blending action, espionage, and a bit of humor.
Masquerade had an interesting premise but struggled to find a steady audience. It only lasted one season with 13 episodes before being canceled. Even though the series was short lived, it gave Kirstie Alley one of her first leading TV roles before she went on to much bigger fame in the late 80s with Cheers. The show was known for its guest stars and its Mission Impossible style vibe with a lighter tone.
Fun fact: Masquerade was created by Glen A. Larson who was also behind hit shows like Knight Rider and Magnum PI.
