On this day May 8, 1985, the final episode of Sara aired, wrapping up its short run after just one season and 13 episodes. The NBC sitcom starred Geena Davis in her first leading television role as a public interest lawyer navigating her career and personal life. The cast also included Bill Maher and Bronson Pinchot, both in early TV roles before their breakout success later in the decade.
Despite a talented cast and some critical praise, Sara struggled to find an audience and was quietly canceled. It remains a hidden gem of mid 80s network television and an early look at several rising stars.
Fun fact: Just a year after Sara ended, Bronson Pinchot would land his iconic role as Balki on Perfect Strangers, while Geena Davis would go on to win an Academy Award.
