On This Day: June 26, 1980 - Nobody’s Perfect Premieres on ABC
On this day June 26, 1980, the short lived sitcom Nobody’s Perfect premiered on ABC. The series followed a clumsy and well meaning British detective who joins a California police department, creating a culture clash that led to comedic misunderstandings and awkward encounters.

Despite the lighthearted setup, the show only lasted for one season, airing just eight episodes before being cancelled. It was a rare attempt to mix British comedy sensibilities with an American television format during a time when sitcoms were trying out new formulas.

80s insight: Nobody’s Perfect was part of a wave of experimental comedies at the start of the 80s that did not always stick, but they showed how networks were testing fresh concepts in a changing entertainment landscape.
