On this day, January 8, 1982, the final episode of Behind the Screen aired on CBS. This short-lived drama series explored the glamorous yet cutthroat world of Hollywood, delving into the lives of those working behind the scenes in the entertainment industry.
Despite its intriguing premise, which offered a look at the inner workings of showbiz from a different perspective, Behind the Screen struggled to find an audience and only lasted for one season. The series’ mix of drama and Hollywood intrigue was ahead of its time but failed to resonate with viewers during its initial run.
Fun Fact: The show’s cancellation after one season left several plotlines unresolved, making it a hidden gem for fans of early 80s TV who enjoy rediscovering forgotten series.
