AK: In 1979, ABC moved 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭 𝘈𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘺 to the notoriously difficult Saturday night 8:00 PM time slot. The dense, philosophical drama struggled to compete against the era's lighter, more action-oriented fare, consistently losing ground to hit shows on rival networks such as 𝘊𝘏𝘪𝘗𝘴, 𝘉𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘙𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 25𝘵𝘩 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘺, and the popular comedy 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘺 𝘗𝘛𝘈. Seeking to cut its losses, ABC sold the struggling series to NBC in early 1982, clearing the Saturday time slot for the debut of 𝘛.𝘑. 𝘏𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘳. The network awkwardly aired the remaining episodes following 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘺 𝘗𝘛𝘈 in the spring of 1982, and burned off six final episodes in June and July after the comedy concluded its run. The erratic scheduling proved fatal. Viewers, already fatigued by the show's shifting timeslots, simply tired of trying to hunt down their once-favorite program. Consequently, NBC quietly pulled the plug. When the fall television season launched in 1982, the halls of the Angel Academy were, at last, truly silent.
