On this day, January 22, 1980, Goodtime Girls premiered on ABC. Set during World War II, this sitcom followed the lives of four women sharing an apartment in Washington, D.C., as they navigated romance, work, and the challenges of wartime.

Despite its unique premise and humor, Goodtime Girls struggled to find its audience and was canceled after just one season, producing only 12 episodes. However, the series remains a nostalgic gem for fans of period comedies from the early 80s.

Fun Fact: Goodtime Girls was created by James L. Brooks and Stan Daniels, known for their work on iconic series like Taxi and The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Trivia Question: What was the name of the famous James L. Brooks-created sitcom that starred Ted Danson as a Boston bar owner?
