Nickelodeon wanted to tweak the hand that fed, if you will.
The network's Nick at Nite division was home to many classic sitcoms in its early years, and in 1991, Nick, with a little help from ABC, came up with Hi, Honey, I'm Home, a short season series that aired first on ABC as part of its TGIF block on Fridays, then airing on Nick at Nite on Sundays. However, after the first summer of 6 episodes, ABC gave up on the project. Nick brought back Honey the following summer for 7 more.
Future Backstreet Boy AJ McLean was originally cast as the oldest son, Skunk, in the pilot, but the role was recast. As we all know now, McLean, most recently reuniting with his bandmates for a new CD, tour, and an ad campaign for Downy Rinse & Refresh, got the last laugh.
We previously reviewed this series over at The Land of Whatever a ways back, but here, we'll use a different episode, this one reuniting Audrey Meadows & Joyce Randolph as Alice Kramden & Trixie Norton from The Honeymooners:
