* ScrewedByTheNetwork: ''Love of Life'' spent most of its life in the late morning or noon timeslot, where it fared reasonably well until the late 1970s. Creator/{{CBS}} moved the show to 4:00pm in April 1979; like the previous time slot occupant, MatchGame, the show experienced affiliate clearance issues and steep declines in its ratings. The show was cancelled 9 months later in February 1980.
