* AudienceAlienatingPremise: It's ''Series/TheLoveBoat'' (though closer to a mystery dramedy rather than a romantic comedy) on a train. A ''nuclear-powered'' train. This makes it look both too sci-fi (which it is not) and too derivative for its intended audience, and the Three Mile Island incident occurring [[DistancedFromCurrentEvents less than two months]] after the show's premiere made that premise alienating to everyone else as well, while railroad enthusiasts [[JustTrainWrong found too many issues with the train]] to enjoy the series. It lasted only five months and nine episodes before it got pulled off the air, and then disappeared outright, never being syndicated or put on home video.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: If the year 1979 could be distilled into a television series, this would be it. Like many expensive flops, everything about it is very dated, from the disco soundtrack to the costumes and set design.
