On this day April 6, 1988, the short lived sitcom Just in Time premiered on ABC. The series followed a fast paced New York City publishing company and focused on the relationships and chaos that unfolded between its quirky employees. With quick dialogue and a mix of office drama and comedy, the show aimed to capture the energy of urban work life in the late 80s.
Just in Time aired for only one season with a total of 6 episodes before being pulled from the schedule.

Fun fact: Just in Time featured several Broadway actors in its cast, giving the show a sharp theatrical edge in both performance and timing.
